Beautiful trails and well organized trip

I really enjoyed the day trip to Algonquin with Gray Line. Very well organized, great timing for breaks, on-route, and enough time allowed for hiking. We had access to three beautiful trails and we were lucky to have great weather. Thank you Lisa for all the useful information and for the excellent driving.

Operator response

Dear valued guest, Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful fall foliage and found the tour guide to be friendly and knowledgeable. However, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment regarding the bus not being a coach with a bathroom. Due to a smaller group than anticipated, we used a smaller bus, but we also added an additional rest stop to accommodate an extra break. We appreciate your understanding and will work to ensure that such issues are addressed for future tours. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for an even better experience next time! Best regards, Stephanie
