Canadian Rockies Rail Vacations

"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."

Kathleen Texas, United States

"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. A truly professional organisation."

"We can’t truly express our gratitude to you and your team for the absolute success and awe of this trip! From Halifax to Vancouver and back, not one problem, 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! "

"I would like to highly commend travel agent Alekh Singh for putting together a customized, detailed itinerary for both East and West Canada. We are not young, my husband has mobility issues, and we are on a tight budget, but Alekh made it work. He was super prompt in the communication from Vancouver to Melbourne, very patient with all my extra requests, and went above and beyond in ensuring all our needs & wants were accommodated for. He even checked with hotels re mobility and threw in some extra bonuses. I cannot speak highly enough of his efficient service and especially of his kindness, care, and attention to individual detail, something quite rare these days. Will be arranged and we will be looked after - thanks to Alekh and Canada Rail."

Thank you again, Andre, for planning this for us!"

"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. 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. 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!!"
