All of the transfers arranged by Vacations by Rail worked flawlessly. No stress there. The train trip itself was as promised, beautiful views out our picture window, very good food and very pleasant and accommodating staff, with one exception. The dining car manager, who had originally agreed that we could have a table for two, when we arrived for the first lunch seating said she couldn't accommodate us - she was too full. Since all of the literature about Prestige Class says you are entitled to room service dining, and since COVID is definitely not over and the usual seating in the dining room is four to a table we had no intention of sitting across the table from two strangers. We had, however, agreed to try the dining room as long as we had our own table. The dining room manager told Sunny, our cabin attendant, that she could accommodate us, so we told Sunny we would try it out. Unpleasant experience when we arrived for lunch, so we left and had room service for the rest of the trip.

Excellent way to travel by train. Porters, stewards and servers were professional, knowledgeable and super friendly. Only hiccup was our arrival in Toronto....no assistance with luggage or navigating the maze of the train station.

Every detail of the arrangements made by VBR were flawless - accurate, first-class, enjoyable, and trouble-free. VBR staff provided excellent service throughout the entire process, and made my individual adjustments to the standard itinerary easily and efficiently.

The trip was beyond our expectations. Efi did an excellent job in helping my wife and I make decisions on what we were looking for in our trip.
