Words cannot express our heart felt appreciation for Richard and the incredible tour he gave us of our Acadian ancestral lands. His passion and love of Acadian history, culture, legacy, and engineering feats left us inspired and proud of our amazing ancestors. We cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our time with you in Acadie. It was a life changing experience for us and we have shared our fun with many friends and family. We cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone interested in learning about their Acadian roots. We were able to stand on the land of our ancestors and experience first hand what it must have felt like to leave that beautiful place. We came away with so much and we left a part of our hearts in Nova Scotia.

We had a wonderful trip – thanks to you.

We returned a few days ago from a tremendous vacation to Nova Scotia to trace Karren & Laurie's Acadian roots there. We had a highly recommended guide, Richard Laurin of Novacadie Tours. He was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, patient, & clear in his presentation. It was most special because he customized the tour to bring us to personal ancestral settlement locations. If you ever plan to travel there, I also strongly recommend his service. We got so much more than if we had tried this on our own.

Thank you for helping us connect with our ancestors through their lands. I feel like I left a part of my heart in NS but took a piece of my proud heritage back home with me. Many, many thanks for such a beautiful trip for us through our experiences.
Sincerely, Diane Denais Sasser proudly of Comeau, Landry, Trahan Acadian descent

My trip with Richard Laurin was in October of 2016.....My expectations were high but not only were these met but exceeded by 200%! This journey to the land of my ancestors was so inspiring, emotional and educational!...my niece and I had given Richard the family names that we wanted to explore ( Broussard, Boudreaux,Trahan, Landry, Comeaux) and Richard not only found where their lands were but also found long lost cousins that we could talk to! .....something we had not expected....loved the history lessons, museums, churches, friendly people who spoke our French, food, and glorious scenery........and the field trips through the marsh!
I came home with a full heart and an admiration for my ingenious and industrious Acadian Ancestors!.....I left part of my heart in Nova Scotia, it felt so much like home!
I would highly recommend Novacadie Tours AND Richard as your tour guide!

''We speak so often of our lovely trip with you through NS, and I have recommended you to many friends and relatives. It was truly a superlative experience, and I congratulate you on your vast knowledge of and interest in the Acadian culture. I am so deeply grateful for the fact that I grew up in that culture and have been able to keep much of it alive and appreciated in my family. We look forward to a chance to get together when you bring your tour here later this year

Thank you for all you do... and just so you know I'm sticking with my story... you provide a very important historical perspective that the world needs to have!!
