What Our Fellow Travelers Have to Say

The ENTIRE trip was seamless and went off without a hitch. I cannot say enough good things about Andre, our Senior Travel Designer, who helped us every step of the way.

To celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, my wife and I just took the Canadian Rockies Rail Winter Escapades trip, with the VIA Rail Prestige class and upgraded Fairmont hotel options. First of all, he wanted to understand the purpose of our trip and if we had been to these locations before. He also ensured the hotels knew this was a celebration trip. He really wanted this to be a perfect trip for us. The trip was absolutely FANTASTIC! From start to finish, every detail, every adventure, every day! VIA Rail and the Fairmonts treated us very special. Thank you, Andre, for putting together such a special trip for us!!

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.

I can not imagine having had a more enjoyable adventure! Thank you to Jennifer and the rest of the crew at Canada Rail Vacations for making it happen.

I can not imagine having had a more enjoyable adventure! Thank you to Jennifer and the rest of the crew at Canada Rail Vacations for making it happen. The entire vacation was seamless. From the overnight train to Jasper, through the ice fields to Lake Louise and on to Banff, the accommodations could not have been better. The Banff Springs Hotel was breathtaking.

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 one of the very best trips of our life to Banff

We had one of the very best trips of our lives to Banff thanks to Madison at Canada Rail Vacations. Remarkable attention to detail, start to finish, with wonderful recommendations for our one-week trip.

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!

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!

Jane
