    A fantastic way to explore the Canadian Rockies. Tour guides were excellent, accomodation very good. Some better/more detailed information on the itinerary would have helped - especially around the train being what gets you from Vancouver to Jasper etc. trip of a lifetime!

    In general the tour was very good. We saw many wonderful places and things worked efficiently. We did find it difficult to meet the guide when the train arrived in Jasper. If the guide could wait at the main station entrance this would be much easier. There was a full schedule of sites to see and this was generally quite fine and to be expected. On the last day however, with the final journey to Calgary, it might be better to take out Johnson Canyon? This would make the day less exhausting and an earlier finish in Calgary while still having the wonderful gondola ride in Banff,Bow Falls and Surprise Corner which would be a wonderful day in itself. After the Columbia IceFields, Moraine Lake and so many other amazing sights in the previous days, I did feel Johnson Canyon was not interesting in comparison, and something that could well be left out, to avoid such a long day at the end of the trip. My other big problem was that the train tickets and vouchers did not arrive until a few days before the train departed. This was terribly stressful and should not have happened. I had to chase it up at a time when I was leaving Australia to fly to Canada. I can not understand why these documents were not issued immediately on receipt of the final payment weeks before and it was a major issue.

    Amelia

    Asked on May 7th, 2025

    I'm interested in your 5 day Vancouver to Rockies package and wanted to know how much it would be to upgrade to a sleeper on the VIA rail. I'll be travelling with my husband and three children (10, 8 and 6yo).

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Calgary ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      Currently, there are five available sleeper berths; however, they are spread out across multiple train cars. We have contacted the railway company, and while it is possible to allocate berths in just two cars, those cars are located far apart and are not internally connected. Please note that availability is subject to change at any time. For a more comfortable and cohesive travel experience, we recommend booking economy seats instead.

      Unfortunately, the sleeper berth for June 20th has been sold out. The nearest available date, with an additional fee of CAD $780 per person, is offered. Please note that the price is subject to change. After the tour, we will return to Calgary around 18:30 to 19:30, depending on traffic and weather conditions.
