Canada & the Rocky Mountaineer

Brilliant holiday - just maybe amend the Toronto itinerary - we felt rushed through the falls then given more time than necessary at Niagara on the Lake village. We found the Toronto tour guide not in tune to our needs, quite brusque and not very informative, encouraging us to visit many shops! Other than that - a perfectly organised and enjoyable trip.

Very well organised and a generally wonderful experience

Well organised and everything was as expected. With half the group being American made for interesting conversations especially about cricket!

A great holiday in every way. Wonderful scenery, good food, Friendly party, good Hotels, and a good tour manager in Charles White.

The holiday was well organised and lived up to my expectations. The hotels were all central and had decent sized rooms. The excursions were as stated and very informative.

Enjoyable holiday, tour manager was fantastic. Would have like more breakfasts & dinners included in the price. Like more warning that half our holiday money would go on top.

Very friendly and helpful tour guide (Colin Wagstaff) who looked after us throughout the entire journey, always being available to help with problems or questions. Great holiday, especially Toronto, Niagara, the coach trip through part of the Rockies, the Rocky Mountaineer trip to Vancouver, and seeing the Orca's off Vancouver was the last bit of icing on a fabulous cake. Even though I expected the Via train trip to be a little dull, the first day was lovely through the wooded valleys and beside the lakes, and the second day was interesting seeing the difference in the terrain. By the third day, we all just wanted to get to Jasper, but freight trains take priority. Nonetheless, I expected that to be the relaxing part of the holiday, and it was! The food on both trains was good, seats comfortable, sleeping accommodation a bit small on Via train (and bunk beds, which I had not expected!) Nevertheless, we still had a great time. The Canadian Rockies are just awesome!

Brilliant. Our tour manager was excellent and smoothed over all the hitches (and there were a few).

The actual holiday was excellent even with all the challenges there were: snow, very late running of the Canadian, missing the ferry to Vancouver. However, my initial booking was not good with a mix up of cost of upgrade on flights, upgrade on Rocky Mountaineer much more than if I had been booking direct with company and then five letters all the same arriving on same day and late sending out of my final paperwork.

Wonderful trip - loved every minute of it! So well organised and great variety of places we visited. I would highly recommend this tour.
