What Our Fellow Travelers Have to Say

I loved the trip!

You did a great job of offering me excursions that were just right for me. The train portion was wonderful! I had never been overnight on a train. I loved the special little compartment, and the food was very good. All in all, an absolutely delightful trip, thank you for doing a perfect job of putting it all together for me.

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 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.

During the booking, the service they offered was unparalleled!

During the booking, the service Julie offered was unparalleled! She was patient and flexible in order to fit the trip to our desires. During travel, every element of the trip lived up to our expectations, and we were treated like royalty. DON’T AVOID WINTER OR SPRING, it’s beautiful!

It went flawlessly

I am a solo independent traveler. Andre Duque patiently and timely addressed my questions and concerns all along the way while putting this vacation plan in place to exactly meet my expectations, and it went flawlessly. Would I recommend others to make the trip? For sure.

Charlotte

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!

We definitely want to come back and we know who to contact.

We have just come back from 10+ days tour from Vancouver to Jasper/Lake Louise/Banff/Kamloops back to Vancouver via train/bus. We had a great time. Thanks Canada Rail Vacations, especially to Karen for putting together and planning such a trouble free, smooth running package to make our visit even more unforgettable. Every place we have been to have been carved very deeply in our memories. We fell in love with the Rockies, its wild life, ice fields, beautiful towns and the friendly people.

We will be recommending you to others and will use you again when we return for more adventure.

We are leaving Calgary today to return to Vancouver after our week trip that you organized for us. Just want to thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The train and the places we stayed were great. Everything was so easy with transport and accommodation.

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.
