We had the best day of our cruise ship trip spending the day with you and learning more about my Acadian ancestors and their extended family. I have devoured every book you suggested and wish that I had purchased more. Your insights were incredibly meaningful. I look forward to spending more time together on a future trip. Thanks again from Jon and me.

After travelling with Richard Laurin on an Acadian Heritage Tour of France in 2013 we knew he would be the best person to take us on an in-depth Acadian tour of our Maritime provinces. With Richard as our guide and driver this fall, we explored many places in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI we had previously missed when touring on our own. And, we gained new insight into places we had visited before. Richard is passionate and knowledgeable about all things Acadian. He spared no effort to make our Novacadie tour an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Our travel companions said they would have needed a month to see and do what we did in ten days. Thank you, Richard.!

If you are thinking of searching for your Acadian roots/heritage in Nova Scotia, do yourself a big favor and enlist Richard Laurin of Novacadie Tours. We learned more in a day with Richard than in a lifetime of reading and research. He made it all come alive and yes, we actually walked on the land cultivated of our Blanchard forebears.
It was a day we will not forget!
Thank you Richard for a wonderful tour!

Richard Laurin amazed me constantly with his knowledge of Acadian history and the area as we moved along the highways and byways. This was my second trip under his guidance (France in 2014) and he LOVES Acadian people, history, and the lands. He is relaxed and interactive with his group, even jumping a ditch to get us what may well be “Acadian home sites, wells and even ''apples”. You will learn AND have fun as well as make new friends

I would like to say that this is the best tour I have ever been on! Our guide was amazing and gave us so much history on the over 50 sites we visited. We were never bored and always excited about what the next day would bring. It was such a treat to have a guide who not only knew the history of the area, the history of the Acadians, but knew a lot about our individual families who once lived in Acadia!! Our driver, Richard was also first class. I can't wait to take another trip with Novacadie Tours!!

Richard,
Your tour in Nova Scotia was just as great as the one in France not only because of your vast store of knowledge of your homeland, and your passion for our Acadian heritage is so evident. For you sharing it with us has become your way of life. That is priceless. Keep in touch.

Richard:
I cannot say enough about how much David and I enjoyed our trip with you in Acadie! We saw so much, learned so much and experienced so much. We saw some of the most beautiful country of anywhere we’ve been, from the breathtaking sea coast to the rich green farmlands. We learned so much about the Acadian history and people, both from you and from the places we visited. We experienced the Acadian culture – the food, the fun, and the music – much of which is like ours in south Louisiana in spite of all the years and distance that separate us. We often felt like we’d never left home. David and I have traveled to a number of places. While we’ve enjoyed them all, most we’ll probably never revisit. We will return to Acadie – more than once. You do a wonderful job of providing a complete Acadian experience.
Your personal tour director Richard Laurin will build a fantastic and educational tour to suit your specific needs. His vast knowledge of the great history and culture of these lands and peoples will truly impress every traveler.
Your knowledge and adaptability added a lot to the experience. All the best!
