“I have done two tours with SDT I totally enjoyed them. I enjoyed Northern Italy better than the southern Italy. We were planning another tour in the spring but alas, we will need to wait.”
“The tour wAs great as far as it went. Was in Spain in March. So things happened beyond your control.
Wish you would space out some of your trips, rather then all in the first half of the 3 week holiday.
The tour guide we had needed more training. Definitely Isn’t a people person.. Tried her best in unexpected times. Relied on other tour guides at the hotel.”
“Great value in travel ! Good arrangements , caring Senior representatives, and great destinations ! Definitely recommend your tour group to others ! Great when you mix a land and river tour .”
“We had an excellent tour guide. Some of the hotels were less than I expected...some of the meals were only adequate. Our bus driver was excellent, very, very knowledgeable.
Overall I would rate the trip as good.”
“I have travelled 7 times with Senior Tours. I have enjoyed the itineraries and the tour directors- with one exception namely Shari Ego
who I hope is no longer employed with your company.
It is comforting to know that everything has been well planned out and that takes away any stress the traveller might have.
The only complaint I have is flights should be direct if at all possible.
I hope more flights will initiate in Montreal as opposed to Toronto.”
“My husband and I have been on 2 SDT tours. The first was Hilltop towns of Italy. The tour guide was excellent, and tour destinations very good. Accommodation and food were not so good. Timing was poor - major Italian holiday period - crowds were huge, particularly Florence , Venice and Rome. Stay in Rome was very poorly organized.
We decided to give SDT another try and took another tour in Feb 2020 to Costa del Sol, Spain. It was great, top marks. Tours, accommodation and guide (Barbara Barde) were excellent. We did notice that Barbara provided much more service to her group than other SDT guides staying at same location. Her knowledge and enthusiasm was superior.
If/When safe to travel again we will again look at SDT packages.”
“I loved that everything was included in the final price. Having gone on other tours, you always had to come up with money for the local guide, and then at the end to our tour director. It was also nice to meet as a group at the airport and travel together as a group. This made me very comfortable as I am not an experienced traveller. Prices seemed to be good deals when comparing to other travel companies. Enjoyed my experience with Senior Discovery Tours.”
“There are three tours I have been on. Loved New Zealand. We were lucky and got across the South Island before the storm washed out the bridge and the trains were halted. Enjoyed every minute. Was slightly disappointed that we did not see the giant Kauri Tree, and that there wasn't enough time to walk under the trees. Also would have loved the final train ride before taking the ferry to the North Island. Instead we flew.
Our (husband and I) trip to the Maritimes was great. The weather in PEI was beyond your control. Loved the poor man's dinner with all the dressing up, the lobster/seafood dinner and folk dancing. Also loved pier 21 - a picture of my ship was on the wall - Titanic graveyard and Bell museum.
Trip to Scottsdale over Christmas did not work out as well. Our own trip to Taliesin and evening trip to Desert Garden were great, as was the Musical Instrument Museum. The Heard Museum was excellent - just sorry we didn't have NEARLY enough time - and it was a special day with native dancing and celebrations as well. I'd give up a restaurant any time for that. Trips to Grand Canyon, Verde Railway and Boat trip were all good! But who needs to spend a whole day at the Mesa market? Or who needs a happy hour every day even when we are not having supper together?
All tour managers were good and tried hard.
Now I am looking for a new trip to New Zealand to see all the things I missed - Stewart Island? Small Group?
And I was just short of signing up for the trip to Nepal and Bhutan - hope we can go soon together!

Probably left things out - both positive and negative.
Hoping for safe travelling soon!!”
“One of the things I really liked about Senior Discovery Tours was being totally looked after. Once the booking was made, every detail was looked after. Being picked up at our front door and being brought back to our front door. All the tipping was looked after. The only money required after booking was for anything we might like to purchase while away and the occasional meal not included on the tour. Tour guides and Senior Discover Tour personnel were always there to make our experience the best possible.”
“We are usually very pleased with the trips we have taken with Seniors. Not impressed with flying Rouge to Europe. The itinerary has been interesting and you usually get a good overview of the area.”
“I travelled on the Australia/New Zealand tour in 2019. It was a small group but I would have enjoyed more options to choose in the area we were travelling”
“I wish that some of your land tours overseas did not have the warning that people who could not walk long distances shouldn't come. I walk slowly with a cane and wish there were some trips for me.
I also resent having to pay so much extra as a single.”
“Travelled twice with you, and enjoyed all the arrangements. The first trip I just loved the guide who accompanied us, she was totally devoted to our well being. The second trip the guide did only what was required by the book. I must say that he was not to helpfull to some of us who had some waklking difficulties,”
“I was twice with Senior Discovery,each time I was very happy.Tour directors did great job,try to please everyone.Both was very professional.
Tours were very interesting,enough free time and possibility for rest.
Can’t wait for next trip.
Keep doing great job.
Thanks
Anna Kupisz”
