Every Stratford Festival trip sponsored by HG begins with the bus ride. Benedict's bus drivers make the journey stress-free, and there's lots to look at along the way, including great views of Niagara Falls. Always expect a stop at the Canadian border to get out and stretch your legs and have your passport validated. 

Next stop: Stratford, the Festival City. You will stay in an accessible, well-appointed hotel in the heart of the city. The bus driver will take you to and from the festival theatre, door-to-door, where you will see top-notch plays from excellent seats. The theatres are within walking distance of the hotel and surrounding city shops and restaurants. There is much to see and do when you're not watching plays.

The weather in early October is generally sunny and temperate, conducive for a stroll on the walking paths along the Avon River. Make time to stop in one of the many confectionery shops that sells handmade goodies you can take back home to your loved ones as gifts. Or eat them all on your own.

Don't miss out on this truly extraordinary opportunity offered by Hamilton-Gibson.
