What Our Fellow Travelers Have to Say

Wonderful hotels in Montreal and Quebec City

Andre Duque booked us into two wonderful hotels in Montreal and Quebec City, and arranged for enjoyable and informative walking tours in both cities. He was also had great insights and suggestions during our pre-vacation video call.

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 would like to express our appreciation for a wonderful trip arranged through Jules M, Canada Rail Vacations. . We were afforded the right amount of activity for the trip yet relaxing. The suggested route from Calgary to Jasper was just spectacular. The hotels we stayed in are in town. And of course the train ride is A plus. Again Thank you.

They went above and beyond in every possible way

From the very first conversation to the moment we returned home, Alekh went above and beyond in every possible way. His attention to detail was remarkable—every transfer, reservation, and recommendation was thoughtfully planned and perfectly executed. Nothing felt overlooked, and that level of care gave us total peace of mind throughout our journey. What truly set this experience apart, though, was the genuine kindness and personal care he showed. Alekh took the time to understand what we wanted, anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had, and was always available with thoughtful guidance and quick solutions. It never felt transactional; it felt like someone was truly invested in making our trip unforgettable. Because of Alekh’s dedication, expertise, and heart, our trip went from “great” to absolutely perfect. We couldn’t recommend Alekh more highly—this is exactly the kind of travel professional who makes all the difference.

When we turned off, there were all these trees covered in snow. It was like a Christmas tree fairyland.

I failed to mention how much we liked the hotel in Calgary. What a beautiful building. Our view out the window was the tower. What a treat when it started changing colors at night. It was snowing pretty good. So coming from Texas in the summer it was really special, almost magical. We did not get to see the lake he thought was so pretty cause it was too cloudy, but seeing the snow and trees it did not matter.

A truly professional organisation.

My wife and I have just returned from a holiday in the Canadian Rockies, designed and coordinated by Canada Rail Vacations. My initial enquiry about a vacation package on their website received an immediate response asking about our preferences - budget, duration, standard of hotels, excursions, etc. An ongoing dialogue via email allowed CRV to tailor a holiday which included all the towns/villages we wanted to see, some amazing hotels, exciting excursions, and at a very affordable price. (We had to exclude the dog-sledding on price and a snow-shoe trip based on our age !!). We were given all the information we needed, and payment was not required until shortly before departure. The itinerary included details of all hotels, daily activities, reservation codes, and clear directions to make our connections. A very late train to Vancouver taught us that VIA Rail's timetable was a guide only, but CRV did everything imaginable to guide us through the crisis, including paying for an extra night in our Jasper hotel. I am sure that CRV will attend to your vacation needs, showing the same dedication as they did with ours.

Our walking tour guides in both cities were exceptional

Andre was a terrific advisor, and we loved the hotels in both Montreal and Quebec City. I must add that our walking tour guides in both cities were exceptional - lots of knowledge, patience, and humor. Thanks, Canada Rail Vacations and Andre Duque!

Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation that created memories for our lifetime! You did a great job!

Dale and I just returned from our "Ice Field Discovery" trip. Our vacation could not have been better! Everything was taken care of so we did not have to worry about anything! The train trip was a throw back in time to the 1950's and reminded me of the Zephyr that I rode as a child. Of course, there were many upgrades but the ambiance was so romantic! The bus trip from Jasper to Lake Louise was great. It was an intimate charter bus so we made friends with the other passengers. We made several stops on our journey for pictures and points of interest. Our driver was fantastic. Lake Louise and Banff were the highlights! Our hotel accommodations were upgraded so we got to stay in the "gold" area of the hotel. It was very special. Thank you Canada Rail Vacations so much for a wonderful vacation that created memories for our lifetime! You did a great job!
