abroad to France, Iceland and Ireland. Here at home we enjoyed this year's hit musical,
Come From Away, took in the beauty of Ottawa's Tulip Festival and cheered on our
favourite athletes at the Curling Championships and Blue Jays games (to name a
few). Next year promises just as much fun! In this 2019 Tour Guide browse through
our exciting new line up of tours and plan ahead for your next big adventure. If you
have any questions, suggestions or simply want to learn more, we would love to hear
