View tour details >Canadian history starts with the First Nations. This group is made up of over 600 different aboriginal nations, including the Cree, Mohawk, and Haida peoples. Canada also hosts a large number of Inuits, who live mostly in the Canadian Arctic, and are famous for their 'igloo' shelters, which are made in the winter, and can be used as a family home or a meeting house. Another group of indigenous Canadians are the Métis people, the descendants of early European settlers and the people of the First Nations.
See the most beautiful scenery through panoramic observation carriages and unabridged domed windows; when you book one of our Canada touring tours, you can expect to travel on stylish trains that bring some of the world's most breath-taking backdrops right to the comfort of your seat.
From The Canadian to the Rocky Mountaineer and The Ocean, there are several famous trains and railway lines that journey through Canada, connecting Toronto in the east to Vancouver in the west.
The Rocky Mountaineer is an exceptional example, taking in the sights of Banff National Park and Fraser Canyon on its way to Kamloops. Our Canada tours on this superb train occur strictly during the daytime, ensuring that you enjoy the best viewing conditions throughout your journey - all from the comfort of reclining seats.
Our customers with a love for trains will appreciate the romance of travelling in the carriages of the Canadian, which have been restored to their 1950s elegance. You can stay overnight on sleeper trains on some of our Canada railway tours, waking up to a new destination each morning.
On the Ocean service and The Canadian, guests are provided with their own fully-serviced cabin, complete with WC and armchairs that convert to comfortable beds at night. All cabins are tastefully-decorated.
The staff on board our trains serve complimentary drinks and snacks to your seat, and also provide a commentary on the landscapes as you pass through. A newspaper is available on some of our trains, which lists much of the flora and fauna that can be seen on the journey, as well as detailing any places of interest.
Canada is a very large country, and from North to South, the temperatures can differ wildly. Throughout the whole country, temperatures can be a bit extreme, with the temperature rising to 95 °F in the summer in the South, and plummeting to -4 °F in midwinter in the North.
When working out what clothes to take, consider where you are going and in what season. At any time of year in the north, it is best to take warm clothes. In the south, warm clothes are necessary for the winter, but in summer it isn't unusual to go out in light clothing.

Wonderful trip - loved every minute of it! So well organised and great variety of places we visited. I would highly recommend this tour.
Good itinerary - went to right places and enough time in each. All hotels very good. The rail journey cabins are a little cramped but there's nothing you can do about that (no alternative carrier?). Everything around tour was well organised and tour manager did a very good job
First time we had taken an organised tour - wonderful, didn't have to worry about a thing. Perfect mix of organised itinerary and free time.

There's nothing which quite imbues us with existentialist wonder as an ancient monument from a lost civilisation.
