    This was an amazing trip. So well organised and great value for money. We visited so many places and sites but it wasn't rushed. The tour guide, Tyler, was absolutely brilliant! There wasn't a question he couldn't answer and was always available. He seamlessly rearranged part of the trip when bushfires interrupted the itinerary. He made the trip amazing and we would request to travel with him on any tour in the future. Took home so many new memories it was fantastic!

    Hotel rooms were excellent quality. Food stops on coach days could have been better, but maybe that's just Canadian food all over?? Some coach days were a bit too long.

    Tour leader was great. However your travel agent we used in Australia ( we are NZ based) was useless. Never responded to emails. Didn't get paperwork until 8 days before the trip. Wouldn't ever use them again.

      Matthew

      TravelerWritten May 2023

      We need a trip with specific requirements: 4 pax, one older lady who needs minimal walking, 3.5-4 star hotels, preference for car/train with Chinese speaking driver, Asian food preference, sightseeing, mountain or lake trips.

    • M

      Matthew

      TravelerWritten May 2023

      How about private trip? Can you arrange for us?

    • CosmosOperatorWritten May 2023

      A private tour for only 4 travelers would not be cost effective. The price would be very high.

    Kathryn

    Asked on January 28th, 2023

    Does this include transport to and from Airport in Toronto and Vancouver? Is the hotel in Toronto close to train station to walk or will you provide transportation? If we did not want to take the Falls tour what options could we have to view other sights in Toronto?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • CosmosOperatorWritten January 2023

      We do not include transfers for any North America destination and they are not available for purchase. We don't confirm hotels until approximately 30 days prior to departure, so I am not able to give you information on where it might be located and how close it might be to a train station. We do not offer any optional excursions that overlap with included sightseeing, so if you didn't want to take one of the included excursions, you would have to arrange whatever you wanted to do during that time independently.

  • T

    Tom

    Asked on October 25th, 2022

    do we stay in any hotels on the trip

    Accommodation
    • CosmosOperatorWritten October 2022

      Yes, you are staying at different hotels on this trip. I suggest for you to review the welcome letter invoice emailed to you on October 18, 2022. There will be the list of hotels we use for this trip under the travel pack.

  • K

    Kerry

    Asked on January 5th, 2022

    So, do I understand that you travel by train only to Jasper? Then by bus? What hotels then do you stay at? Are the hotels included? Or do we pay besides the trip cost? No meals included besides the train? Does the train ever stop before Jasper?

    • CosmosOperatorWritten January 2022

      This tour begins in Toronto with 2 nights in a hotel. You then spend 3 nights on the train while travelling to Jasper. The berths on the train are open by day - couch-style seats. By night, berths convert to upper and lower beds and it is required that guests are able to climb a ladder to reach the upper berth in a double cabin. You then stay in hotels in Jasper, Banff, Kamloops, Victoria and Vancouver. The hotels are included in the package price. Meals included are 3 breakfast, 3 lunches, 3 dinners.

    • K

      Kerry

      TravelerWritten January 2022

      Are the hotels included in the price?

    • CosmosOperatorWritten January 2022

      Yes, the hotels are included in the tour price. If you are a single traveler, singles are limited and on a request basis only. Once the request is in, it would take about 24-72 hours to hear back on if a single can confirm.

    • K

      Kerry

      TravelerWritten January 2022

      What about refund if trip or airline cancels? Is all money refunded? At this time that is a great question! Afraid to book and not be able to travel and be out a lot of money. Also, what about pricing on extra excursions?

    • CosmosOperatorWritten January 2022

      If we are unable to operate due to restrictions and have to cancel the tour, you will have the option of a full refund of the tour. Airlines have their own policies so it would depend the airline you book regarding their policies. We do highly recommend purchases travel protection. There is a variety of optional excursions that will be available during the tour. Pricing depends on the excursions you choose. Some examples are: Niagara Helicopter Sightseeing - about $140 CAD per person, Athabasca River Float Trip - about $79 CAD per person, Magical Mystical Maligne Canyon Walk - about $76 CAD per person, Three Sisters Peaks Helicopter Tour - about $210 CAD per person, Victoria Panorama by Seaplane - about $126 CAD per person, Marine Wildlife & Whale-Watching Expedition - about $133 CAD per person, Grouse Mountain & Capilano Suspension Bridge - about $184 CAD per person.
