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!
