Rafting in Jasper Canada was amazing
I liked the train and especially the meals on the train. Our tour manager Clare Martin) was the best!
The beauty of the land was truly amazing!
We were not on the train long got on at 2:30pm And off at our stop the next day. So we did not see much. But the food was excellent very good dining . But it was an experience and would recommend.
Rocky Mountaineer train ride. Gorgeous scenery!
LOVED the tour!!! Jovanka Mrdja was an amazing tour manager.....loved her. The only issue was the train was cold....the attendants (Chloe, Naomi and Tasa) said they were having an issue with the air conditioning. They were very kind.....giving us a blanket which helped!!! There wasn't one memorable experience.....loved the train, the mountains, Butchart Gardens, waterfalls, the Glaciers and the great hotels. Thank you, Collette, for organizing our trip.
The accommodations, dinning options, tour manager were excellent and very upscale. The tour manager was so well informed and jolly good fun. The train although meals were good was disappointing. Not much viewed while on train.
The tour was lovely. One suggestion: Spend more than 18 hours at the Fairmont Lake Louise. It wasn’t enough time to explore at all and was the liveliest place!
Hard to pick a most memorable experience. The trip and experiences were in enjoyable EXPERIENCES WORTH EVERY MINU
Fantastic trip, and our tour manager was a wonderful character who maximized our “targets” and enjoyment. Go. Western Canada awaits and it is special.
The tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable, energetic and extremely well organized.
More nights in Lake Louise over Jasoer
There was not one thing that I did not enjoy. I really liked the horse carriage ride and the meal that we had at end of the 45 minute ride. The Ice Fields were especially interesting and educational. The one criticism that I would have is at the “surprise” place we ate our evening meal at the restaurant on top of the mountain. People should have been told that we were going up the gondola. The people that have a fear of heights would not have had to suffer. They should have had a choice. Our guide was superior! He made the trip much more interesting and was very knowledgeable. All the hotels were terrific and the food was superior at every single place. I certainly would recommend this trip to anyone and would do it again myself
Every day included an experience that was spectacular. I can not pick a favorite. The Canadians were extremely hospitable. The scenery, ice fields, train ride, wagon ride, raft trip were fantastic ways to experience our adventure.
The Canadian Rockies are breathtaking. College was wonderful. Claire our tour manager was the BEST
