Lovely daytrip to the beautiful nature of Algonquin park - Lovely tour with wonderful guide (Mike) to spent a day in the beautiful nature of Algonquin park! The walks and activities are suited to the season and weather conditions and you are informed what to bring . When I did the tour (end of April) the possibilities were somewhat limited due to the conditions on the trails, but it was a beautiful day and during three walks we enjoyed marvelous scenery and views, and met many curious chickadee birds.

Great Algonquin hiking trip - The fall colors were at their peak, and Mike our guide took us to the best places, provided enough food and bathroom stops, and was very attentive to everyone.

Not as advertised - We feel this tour was mis-sold. Having read previous reviews, we booked this based on the positive feedback which seemed to relate to Mike. Joe, our guide, was more of a driver and less of a guide. During the 3.5 journey there we received about 10 minutes of commentary. The collection point was well out of downtown and a very early start which wouldn’t have been such an issue had it not been for our overall satisfaction of the tour. The tour was not cheap. In comparison we had a full day trip to a vineyard, Niagara Falls, a 3 course lunch and Niagara on the lake for slightly less. We consider ourselves to be fairly active but found this quite hard going at times. The itinerary suggests some flexibility but none was offered. We also did not have a canoe ride which is clearly listed as a highlight and nor was any explanation given explaining why this didn’t happen. There was no suggestion that we should bring mosquito repellent and on the trip back the minivan was full of them. Perhaps the van should have been sprayed before we set off as we became a buffet for the local mossies! There were some nice views along the route but most of the hike was through wooded areas. It was advertised as 3 separate hikes but was actually more like an 4-hour hike (quite exhausting) and a half hour one. Overall, disappointing and not recommended.

Nice tour, great guides, not a good season, terrible organizer. - Much of the tour was as expected. The long transfer was no surprise - and at this time of year there was no viable option to make arrangements to stay overnight and enjoy the amazing park. Mike was a great driver and guide and we felt very comfortable. There are pros and cons to doing the tour in late October: On the plus side, there are very few tourists, so the park is more secluded. On the other hand, the forest had lost most of its colours, there were no animals to be seen and no activities other than a few short hikes. The main reason for the lower score: We had booked a month in advance and had to change from Saturday to Sunday a week in advance. This was confirmed by Tripadvisor. A day in advance the organisers said Sunday was not possible as it was overbooked and we would have to do Saturday or cancel. Absolutely ZERO support or refund, just blame Tripadvisor. We don't care who Travelling Chicken use as a distribution channel as they remain fully responsible for any marketing channel they use. This caused quite a stir as we had to rebook our other Saturday plans.
