Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Overview
Time stands still in the Canadian Maritimes... preserving a way of life that honors the land and sea – and a cultural mix of early French, Irish, Scottish and English influences.
Time feels expansive in the Canadian Maritimes – where tides rise stories high, fishing boats bob in sheltered harbors, and heritage runs as deep as the coastal fog. This journey spans three provinces – Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick – each offering distinct landscapes and cultural threads woven from Acadian, Gaelic, Mi'kmaq, and Loyalist roots. Explore the colorful waterfront of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and walk windswept trails beside the sea-carved cliffs of the Fundy Trail Parkway. In Charlottetown, step into the pages of Anne of Green Gables, then savor oysters and mussels harvested just offshore. Watch the tide retreat beneath your feet at Hopewell Rocks, cruise Shediac Bay with a lobster trap demonstration, and sample sturgeon caviar in Saint John. From storytelling in Mi'kmaq territory to Prince Edward Island's red shores, this is a journey of vivid contrasts and quiet moments – where every stop brings you closer to the soul of the Maritimes. You'll be welcomed with genuine warmth by those who call these shores home – inviting you to experience the Maritimes not just as a place you visit, but as one that feels like home.

9Roots and vines in the lovely, tranquil Annapolis Valley
Begin your day in the heart of Nova Scotia's wine country with a visit to Grand-Pré National Historic Site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that honors the history and resilience of the Acadian people. Established in the 17th century by French settlers, Grand-Pré was once the heart of Acadian life in the region – until the British expulsion of 1755 scattered families across North America. Today, its sweeping fields and evocative memorials tell a deeply moving story of perseverance and cultural identity. Just down the road, step into one of the valley's acclaimed vineyards for a tasting that showcases the distinctive terroir and cool-climate varietals this region is known for. Later, enjoy free time in the charming university town of Wolfville, where cafés, galleries, and shops reflect the laid-back energy of this vibrant community. This evening, raise a glass at a Tauck-exclusive farewell reception and dinner at your countryside inn – where the flavors of Nova Scotia and the sounds of local musicians set the tone for an evening of heartfelt goodbyes and shared reflections on the journey behind you.
