Grand rail tour from Canada’s West to East coast

Comprising 'The Canadian', 'The Corridor' and 'The Ocean', this holiday really give an impression of the vastness of Canada. Travelling in September meant we had the colours of the fall, snow falling on the Rockies and, in Jasper, freezing mornings and pleasantly warm afternoons. An optional excursion to the Columbia Icefield was a real highlight on a glorious day.

Customers enjoyed Stanley Park and Capilano Park in Vancouver. The city tour of Toronto gave some the opportunity to ascend the CN Tower, whilst others took a harbour cruise. At Niagara the Falls roared, the sun shone and after 'The Maid of the Mist' there was lunch overlooking the falls.

'The Corridor' took us to Montreal for a city tour before continuing to Quebec, with its old houses, colourful buildings, the quayside and Citadel all dominated by the Chateau Frontenac. 'The Ocean' took us to Halifax with its memories of 'Titanic', the poignancy of Pier 21 and a tour to Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg before our flight home.
