Hi, my name is Don Hiscox. I have been working at Ellison Tours for over 15 years. During this time I have enjoyed working with a broad spectrum of clients to destinations across Canada and the United States. I specialize in educational tours, music tours, and community groups with a focus on travel in Canada and the Eastern United States.

Canada is a truly exciting country to explore. Toronto has great theatre and educational experiences for people of all ages. Montreal features some of the best cuisine and culture on the planet. Quebec City, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, has all the cultural and architectural charm of Europe within its walls (a personal favourite of mine). Ottawa, the Nation's Capital, is home to many of Canada's great national museums and other cultural activities. The Maritime Provinces offer a friendly atmosphere and heart-warming culture that's good for the soul. Alberta and British Columbia offer rugged mountain beauty and adventure combined with coastal experiences to suit the dreams of young and old alike. The Prairie Provinces offer wide-open space and a hassle-free experience. And don't forget the unique experiences of Canada's North. - Canada has something for you!

If you are a group leader who needs assistance setting up a tour, don't hesitate to give me a call. I would be happy to customize a tour to your specific requirements!
