    This was a wonderful trip made even better by our small numbers of 22 fellow traveller's and our tour guide Marcie, who made sure we made many memorable stops and was able to pivot as needed if the forest fires changed our plans.

    Never done a train excursion before would like to talk to agent about it.

    Transport
    • GlobusOperatorWritten October 2022

      We offer porterage for 1 suitcase per person. Due to limited coach capacity, this single bag should have dimensions not exceeding 30 X 21 X 11 inches, and a weight not exceeding 50 lbs (22 kg). Hand luggage is limited to 12 X 11 X 6 inches, and may not have wheels for safety reasons. A small backpack is suitable to fit a camera, book, water bottle, wallet, and any medications. With this tour being mostly by train. BAGGAGE ON VIA RAIL: In preparation for the VIA Rail train segment, you will need a small "overnight bag" that can be packed with a minimum of necessary clothes and items required during rail travel. Remember to pack medications, eyeglasses, and any other important items. Also include a sweater or something warm, as it is sometimes cool on the train. Large luggage will be checked through to the completion of the rail journey, meaning you will not have access to your checked luggage while on the train. Carry-on baggage for your overnight on the train should not exceed 21.5 x 15.5 x 9 in. and its weight should not exceed 25 lbs. The train portion will be from Toronto to Jasper National Park. From Jasper to Kamloops you will be transported by motor coach and a ferry ride to Victoria.
