Specialist Tour Operator Best Served has launched a brand new dedicated Best Served Canada programme for 2017, featuring an exciting range of self drive holidays and escorted tours across this beautiful country. Commenting, Lorna Curry, Product Manager, says 'What better timing to launch our new programme to Canada than to coincide with the 150 year celebrations that will be taking place across the country this year."
"Historically, we have featured a small number of Canada itineraries as part of our Best Served Scandinavia portfolio, but we are delighted to launch a fully dedicated programme for 2017. Our Scandinavia clients will love the similar offerings of northern lights viewing, snowy adventures, wildlife experiences and unique Ice Hotels in the winter, and the incredible wilderness and away from it all adventures in the summer. The experiences will be familiar but the continents are different and will offer a new and exciting alternative for our clients. Best Served Canada will be available to book directly by clients through our website and through our partner travel agents.'
Featuring itineraries across the country, highlights of the new programme include:
