About the tour
Spend 9 days circling through the very best of the Canadian Rockies and getting an insider's glimpse of Canada on this expedition. The tour begins in coastal Vancouver; sightsee your way through the city upon arrival, then the next morning, board the Rocky Mountaineer bound for Kamloops. After an overnight, reboard the train to enjoy the scenery provided by Mount Robson, Pyramid Falls, and other mountainous sites as we make our way to Jasper.
From Jasper, the tour continues through the amazing Columbia Icefield to Lake Louise. The lake's famous Chateau awaits for your comfort, and there is plenty of free time to explore the grounds. After a tour through Yoho National Park, we transfer to Banff for an overnight and a group sightseeing tour. It is also in Banff that we step back onto the Rocky Mountaineer for daylight-only travel to Kamloops, and then to Vancouver, where the tour comes to a close.

Before taking the vacation, I was doubtful that it would be value for money as it was by far the most expensive vacation I have ever taken, or am likely to take. Now I think it was worth every penny. From the booking process to the final departure for home, it was a truly phenomenal experience.

We LOVED the Rocky Mountaineer Experience, the scenery, the special trips (e.g. Ice Fields), several of the accommodations. Things ran smoothly with a smile. Well coordinated, but also left time to be alone and enjoy. It was a great trip that we'll remember for a long time.
