“The Canadian Snow Train with three nights in Jasper was just spectacular! We always wanted to take a train across Canada and this one filled the bill. This trip takes you through five Canadian Provinces: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. I highly recommend doing this trip in winter because the snow just makes everything so beautiful and you are sitting on the train just taking it all in, not even wearing a coat! The three nights in Jasper was also wonderful and yes, you will need a coat but not as many layers as you might think. Yes, it is cold but it is a dry cold and not the damp coldness we have in the east.

“Train trip was interesting-food was very good. Hotels were lovely. It was very cold but the recent snowfall made the scenery seem like winter wonderland. I would recommend it to friends

“What a relaxing way to travel! Good food, good service and comfy beds! Will definitely travel this way again!

“We were always expected and welcomed with each of our reservations and everything went according to plan. Some idea of how long the drive was from one destination to the next would have been helpful during the driving leg of our excursion.

“Everything went exactly as they said. All transfers were smooth and everything that they described happened.

“It was a wonderful trip and the employees are great! They make sure you have great meals, lean rooms and fun times. Don?t hesitate booking a trip!

“Vacationsbyrail was great! When they didn't have the answer they found it and got back to us in a timely Manner. Very helpful. Trip was great. Wish the route accommodated seeing more of the Rockies ( went thru much of them at night) but I guess that's another trip where you stay in the national Parks and travel on the train by day. This trip was about riding the train and sleeping on it so we were super happy with it all!

“I had a marvelous time on my first Vacations by Rail! I had never taken an overnight train trip before and found the experience very relaxing. The food was exceptional as was the kind, knowledgeable and friendly staff. The bus portion of the trip was also exceptional. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The bus drivers were above excellent,especially going up into the mountains on curved roads! It was a great experience overall and I look forward to booking another trip in the near future!

“We had a great experience using Vacations by Rail for our tri to Canada. Everything went as scheduled and the tours and accommodations they set up for us were wonderful. I will definitely use them again sometime.
