What Our Fellow Travelers Have to Say

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.

They not only tailored my itinerary to include activities I liked, but also made my car and hotel reservations, making it no-fuss for me.

They not only tailored my itinerary to include activities I liked, but also made my car and hotel reservations, making it no-fuss for me. Because it was a loose itinerary, it left plenty of room to explore on my own, finding my own unique experiences and sleeping in when I wanted!.

It was a very memorable trip and I highly recommend to all.

I booked a Rail Tour from Vancouver to Calgary, departing in August to celebrate my 75th Birthday and the the weather was gorgeous. The train was wonderful.

Everything ran like clock work, the activities we did were extremely well organised, informative and above all fantastically enjoyable.

We have just returned from a 5 day 4 night trip to the Yukon followed by 6 nights travelling on the Mountaineer Train time in Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff. We had a fantastic time.
