Holy cow! Why the heck can't Amtrak provide service like this? Gourmet meals... Down comforters... Turn-down service with a mint on the pillow... Complimentary champagne and hors d'oeuvres when boarding... The train was like a five-star hotel on wheels! Truly a wonderful experience and a vacation we'll never forget!

A very organized and reliable itinerary. Prompt and full service answers to questions before and during the trip. Via Rail is very service oriented and each person and hotel/transportation vendor Vacations By Rail used for our trip demonstrated a happy, helpful and friendly attitude.

The train trip itself was great. We lucked out and got a larger cabin for a portion of the trip which was a bonus that was well worth it. The food was good as was the cabin service. It would be a help to let people know that they should check in at the lounge in Toronto before going directly to the platform. There was nothing to advise us of that fact. The hotels booked for our stay overs were really nice and we appreciated the comfort at the end of our long days of touring the cities we stayed in.

All of the hotels were really comfortable and mostly convenient to the train stations. They were a highlight of the tour booked with you. Thank you for helping to plan my dream cross Canada by train tour.

Our trip was fabulous. All the details worked out so smoothly. Several local tours were included in our trip that we didn't even know about, but they were all fabulous. We especially liked the Jasper Explorer tour.
