Great trip. Wonderful destination and rail is a great way to see Alaska. The itinerary was well set up and the lodging, transport and excursions were top rate.

We had a wonderful vacation. At the same time, I would not book a trip with vacations by rail again. The communication was very inefficient. For example, I had to ask three times for the correct itineary and in the end call while on a trip to the US. We specifically asked to be in rooms with King Beds instead of two queens. None of the hotels we stayed at received this request and we only had rooms with two queens. As said before, the trip itself was really good. But next time, I would book and plan it myself and in the end I don’t think that would have taken me more time.

very well organized for a pretty complicated itinerary. Everything went without a hitch. All the different hotels, all the different activities and vendors for each of them. all the shuttle services were timely and efficient. If there was one improvement to make, they could have prepared us for all the tipping of the workers along the way. Either include in the price the tips for all the service providers, or let the traveler know more explicitly, that tips will be needed.
