We really enjoyed our tour
of eastern Canada with Canada Rail Vacations. Andre was very helpful and responsive to questions as we researched and booked the tour. There was a good combination of scheduled tours and free time to explore on our own. This is not a tour where you travel with one large group and guide the whole time. We liked that it was more like traveling on our own but with hotels, train, and some (not all) transportation was pre-planned.

We had a wonderful holiday in Eastern Canada
due largely to your efforts to put together such an amazing tour at very short notice for us. Our sincere thanks for both your hard work and your expertise. We are very grateful. You have helped make a dream come true for us both.

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful trip to Eastern Canada.
We travelled from Toronto (visiting Niagara Falls) to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. We could not have been more pleased with the trip that was planned by Canada Rail Vacations. The travel agents are professional and helped us plan a wonderful trip. Their selection of hotels was ideal. The train travelling from Province to Province was such a great way to travel. Thank you to all of the agents made this a very memorable trip.

It was a very memorable trip and I highly recommend to all.
I took the 'ALPINE CANADIAN' tour from Vancouver to Calgary, departing on August 1, 2017 to celebrate my 75th Birthday. The weather was gorgeous. Some smoke from fires while on the train in BC but nothing to bother. The train was wonderful. Sleeping compartment small but very adequate. Bed extremely comfortable but covered the private 'potty' when it pulled down. Even though I have to get up several times a night it was no problem as there is a public restroom down the hall. It was very large and great to dress and do makeup in the morning. Food was excellent and nice variety of choices. Everyone was extremely accommodating. The bus tours by 'SUN DOG TOURS' is amazing. The tour bus has plush leather seats that recline to almost a bed. It only holds 30 people and there were only 11 on our trip. It stops many times to let us off and take pictures. One of the highlights that many people would not see if they drive themselves is the 'Athabasca Falls'. It is not visible from the highway so you would really have to watch for signs or miss it. It was only a block from the highway. The driver was excellent and provided a lot of information. The highway was #93 also called the 'ICE FIELDS PARKWAY'. The driver said it is the 7th in the world known for its beautiful scenery. I believe it. The Glacier ride was fun, cool, and a little slippery, but I would not miss it. The Sky Walk was very exciting, but made me a little dizzy if I looked down while walking. No problem, just look ahead. Ha ha. We walked from our Hotel to the 'CHATEAU LAKE LOUISE' hotel and had dinner overlooking the Lake. Beautiful. The full day in Banff was fun and relaxing. We saw one Elk on the wildlife tour plus the beautiful 'BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL'. (The locals call it 'The Springs'). We ate at 'St. James's Gate Pub' on main street in Banff. It is a pub from Ireland they dis-assembled and brought to Banff and re-assembled. The Yorkshire Pudding appetizer was to die for.

When we go back in future to Canada we will contact you again. Will recommend Canada Rail Vacations!
We are back again from a wonderful trip in the Rockies. Everything was great! The Fairmont hotels we loved it. We had wonderful rooms in each hotel, the bus transfers very good arranged. We enjoyed our trips - snowshoeing, ice canyon walk, sleigh-ride, is was all fantastic! I was happily surprised with the informative travel documents with the lonely planet guide that we received on arrival in the Banff Springs hotel. So we want to thank you and your colleagues very much for arranging this wonderful trip for us! When we go back in future to Canada we will contact you again. Will recommend your company!

We had a fabulous time on our Canadian adventure!
We loved everything that was planned. The train trip to Montreal worked out really well, they kept bringing us food and drinks and the seats and views were great. Then we arrived and just had to go up the elevator to our hotel which was beautiful and had a wonderful view from our room. The food tour the next day was really fun- lots of good tastes and sights to see! All in all, the trip was fab so thanks again for all your help!

It was such a relief to know that we could trust Canada Rail Vacations before and during our trip.
What a trip!!! Thank you Karen J. from Canada Rail Vacations! What a trip!!!! Karen J. from Canada Rail Vacations was amazing in helping us to plan our once in a lifetime trip! Everything was planned perfectly. Thanks to Karen, we stayed in the beautiful Rimrock hotel in Banff- across of the Hot springs and five minutes away from the Gondola. We were picked up for our day trips from our hotel and enjoyed the beauty of the place. In Jasper-Karen suggested to stay at Fairmont Jasper. We LOVED the resort and got a beautiful cabin on the lake. That was an amazing surprise for us! Again the day trips were well organized from A to Z. We finished the trip with a two day ride on the Mountaineer from Jasper to Vancouver (we got the silver leaf and we were so very happy with it). Canada Rail vacation's staff always responded by email of a phone call, also when Karen was away.

From Halifax to Vancouver and back, not one problem
We can’t truly express our gratitude to you and your team for the absolute success and awe of this trip! , not one disconnect, not one unexpected glitch! You had to have toiled immeasurably on all the excursions, transfers, various modes of transport, lodging, and food services. Everyone expected us, called us by name, all were polite, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Your contacts throughout Canada act as one seamless team!
