"Ted's tours are unique: Packed with participant's stories encouraged by Ted; packed with extras such as flags and poppies to place in cemeteries, Canada flag pins to hand out. Special impromptu stops fitted in at cemeteries where participants had family members. Use of pre-boarding lounge at Pearson Airport. Excellent coordination of the whole trip."

"The knowledge of the guides and rapport as a team was exceptional. We understood going into this trip it would be an emotional and humbling look into the past and it did not disappoint. It was great to travel with a mix of familiar faces along with new friendships to build. An inspiring trip which checked a big box in our travel destination goals."
