Ewen is not your \u201crun of the mill\u201d tour guide.<\/p>\n
As a historian, Ewen has discovered stories of our past, long forgotten. Some of these stories took place along the tour routes which he has designed to not only supply a scenic backdrop to tell you the stories, but to also introduce you to the local culture, food, and people of this area which he calls a \u201chidden gem.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you are from the Maritimes, Ontario, or Western Canada, or even the far north, Ewen can make you feel at home. After spending 33 years with the RCMP working in the prairies he can connect to almost everybody in a personal way. If you are from the USA or another English-speaking country you do not have to learn how to speak French for these tours. But \u201cBonjour\u201d and \u201cMerci\u201d are encouraged.<\/p>\n
