The centrepiece of this holiday was our four-night trip on The Canadian - the wonderful train that travels across Canada.
We boarded in Toronto at night. Although the bunks were in place, we had space for an airline-type suitcase, a holdall and two rucksacks - not merely an overnight bag, as indicated in the holiday itinerary. We awoke early and went straight to breakfast in the superb restaurant car.
What a feed! And we returned to find our bunks replaced by two comfortable armchairs - with plenty of room. Later, we went to enjoy the view of the snow-covered countryside from the tail observation car, which characterises this train.
Our main stop was at Winnipeg on Christmas morning, but there were many other shorter stops to stretch our legs. The highlight was seeing The Canadian snaking its way through the Rockies on its way to Vancouver.
A joy and an adventure.
We just wanted to thank you for a truly memorable "trip of a lifetime" for my mother and myself.
The whole trip from start to finish was wonderful and something
my mother will never forget.
Thanks again for such a lovely experience.

Toronto and Vancouver are very cosmopolitan cities and a comprehensive half-day tour of each gave a flavour and ideas of where to explore further during the free time.
The Canadian train was a lovely experience. The single cabin was compact, self-contained and had sufficient storage. It was difficult to sleep at times while travelling but imagine being able to open the blind and look at the stars from the comfort of your bed and see the scenery passing by. An unexpected pleasure.
Food on the train was prepared to a high standard with plenty of variety. Observation of scenery from the dome was good. Short stops along the way provided an opportunity to get a glimpse of Jasper and Winnipeg.
This tour had been on my wish list for a while and I was not disappointed, in fact it exceeded my expectations. A pretty country where good service standards appear to be high on the agenda.
I cannot praise the holiday enough.
