REVIEWS

It was my dream to take a train trip across Canada. Overall it was a great way to see the country for the most part. Probably missed a lot at night though. Stopping a lot for freight traffic and a couple delays hindered the trip. Loved the dining car and having our own private room with toilet! Definitely a must! Great to mingle and meet fellow passengers and the the VIA Rail staff were excellent. Would I do it again? Yes! Taking the train from Montreal to Halifax is next on my bucket list!

Lorraine Squamish, Canada

I can not imagine having had a more enjoyable adventure! Thank you to Jennifer and the rest of the crew at Canada by Design for making it happen. The entire vacation was seamless. From the overnight train to Jasper, through the ice fields to Lake Louise and on to Banff, the accommodations could not have been better. The Banff Springs Hotel was breathtaking.
