What a fantastic way to start our holiday in Toronto. The helicopter flight exceeded or expectations and rendered my daughter speechless. The flight itself was a first for us all in a helicopter and thanks to the skills of our pilot was as smooth as silk. The views of the Toronto city skyline were simply breathtaking and gave us the opportunity to get some fantastic photos that we simply couldn’t have got any other way. I would wholeheartedly recommend this incredible flight experience to anybody visiting Toronto.

The addition of the tour guide to the trolley was very informative and personable and the young ladies were a wealth of knowledge. We enjoyed the trip, although with limited time only did the BLUE line twice. We did find though that the last pick up from the ROM Day 1 and the Casa Loma Day 2 at 4.00pm did not give us as much time as we would have liked.

It was a very enjoyable tour that I would highly recommend. The tour guide was very informative and friendly. The buffet dinner was delicious and the falls amazing. Be prepared to get wet on the Maid of the Mist so maybe bring some spare clothes or something. Would have been lovely to have been able to stop at Niagara on the Lake.

The guide was really nice. He knew the area well and kept us well informed. After Niagara Falls, we visited winery and tasted ice wines, and they were also good. On the way back to Toronto, the driver changed planned route to avoid traffic congestion and drove by Lake Ontario. It was nice view and the guide told us story about those area. I never felt bored.

An excellent tour. The coach was on time at our hotel pick up. The driver and guide were lovely people. The guide’s knowledge was unbelievable, although he was a bit difficult to understand as he spoke so quickly to give us all the information. Unfortunately, the PA system on the bus broke down on the way there, but our guide caught up with the information on the way back. Lunch was on the top floor of the Sheraton hotel with amazing views of the Falls. We had the last ‘Maid in the Mist’ boat tour of the season. That was unbelievable. I had booked our trip for Monday 25th October and nowhere on the Viator booking did it say that we would have missed the boat trip if we had gone on that date. Fortunately, the coach company e mailed me with this information so that we were able to re arrange out trip for the 24th October. We would have been devastated if we had got there only to discover that we had missed the boat trip by one day. On the Guide’s recommendation, we were taken to the helicopter base and had a fantastic helicopter ride over the Falls. We then had a lovely journey back through beautiful countryside with the magnificent colours of the autumn leaves. We stopped at a very nice vineyard for a wine tasting which introduced us to Ice wine. A really excellent day!

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka aim to be best tourist destination in…

Sri Lanka’s sudden emergence as a global tourism hotspot is no accident, as the island nation has seemingly everything to offer the discerning traveller. For centuries travellers have sung their praises of her innumerable charms, and once again the rediscovery of the world’s resplendent isle has begun.

This time the internet has made the rediscovery a lot easier and brought it to a wider global audience. After suffering almost three decades of civil conflict, during which the country remained firmly off the global travel map, the island nation is now back on it and having Lonely Planet describe Sri Lanka as the “jewel of the Indian Ocean” in its “top ten places to visit in 2011” is certainly helping.

Tourist arrivals are significantly up after the war ended in May 2009. Where the best war years saw no more that 300,000 tourist arrivals, 2010, which was the first full year of peacetime saw the numbers swell to over 700,000. This all started with The New York Times featuring Sri Lanka as the number one (#1) destination to visit in 2010, in this report.

Further adding to the swell in visitor number throughout 2010 were several media reports citing the wonders and beauty of the country, and this report by National Geographic Magazine ranking Sri Lanka number 2 in its “20 best destinations of 2010” was amongst the best of them. Several media reports have also given ample coverage to many large tourism infrastructure projects being developed by international luxury hotel chains all across the island, adding to a desperately needed increase in available hotel rooms.

For 2011 the international media and tourism experts predict there will be a boom in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry due to the prevailing peace and such global events as the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 matches currently taking place on the island.

The Cricket World Cup has drawn huge attention and below is a Facebook status update from a travelling cricket fan, visiting Sri Lanka to watch the games:

The Independent, a leading UK newspaper says that Sri Lanka’s tourism industry is about to take a great leap forward. In its February 15th issue, the newspaper said that Sri Lanka would be the best tourist destination in the world and added that with the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 attracting thousands, the prevailing peace, the abundant natural beauty, great adventure, beaches and eco-tourism, an old civilisation and archaeological remains, the country will become a cynosure for foreign tourists.

Sri Lanka caters for every sort of traveller – be it the budget traveller, or those seeking high-end luxury – accommodation is available across a broad price range, from affordable beachside cabanas to private, ultra-luxury boutique hotels and five star properties. Several of the high-end boutique properties are featured in acclaimed luxury travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller.
