    I was expecting lunch at the Columbia Icefield Station, like last time I joined the tour, but ended up having lunch at the crossing and it was a 2nd rate fried chicken and meat balls. We stayed in a nice hotel in Jasper, Chateau Jasper but its far from the downtown area, where the restaurants and shopping stores are.

    Excellent itinerary and well planned. The Canadian Rockies are spectacular. It’s hard to find the words to describe. The water falls were particularly amazing. Accommodations were excellent.

    Tour Details
    • Calgary ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      The pricing for 2026 has not yet been released. However, what we can tell you for sure is that prices are expected to increase next year. If you're ready to make a booking now, we would be happy to offer you the current 2025 rate as a special early commitment benefit. If you could kindly provide an estimated travel date, I'd be happy to prepare a detailed quote for you.

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      Is there a particular day of the week your tours start?

    • Calgary ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      The tour normally departs every Friday from late May to early October. The basic tour price for two adults is CAD $2,421.56 per adult. Please note that this price includes only an economy seat on the VIA Rail train from Jasper to Vancouver. At this time, upgrade options for sleeper berths have not yet been released. Therefore, we recommend securing your tour booking now at the 2025 rate, and if you're interested in upgrading to a sleeper berth, you may do so in late 2025 or early 2026 once the options become available. The same applies to optional activities such as the Banff Gondola, Columbia Icefield Ice Explorer, Skywalk, and Maligne Lake Cruise—these can be added later once details are confirmed.
