I just returned from Rail Across Canada with tour guide Lacey Berry.

I have done several day trips and Haida Gwaii with her as well.

I say can’t say enough about her. She truly is an exceptional young gal. Enjoy the Journey is lucky to have her. Very friendly and patient - totally takes care of everyone’s needs. Dedicated to her work that’s for sure.

Positive about the hiccups that happen along route and deals with them in a professional manner.

The trip was fabulous with good weather across our beautiful country. Saw lots and thoroughly enjoyed the fall colours out east. A great way to see CANADA!!!

Treat yourself to a coast-to-coast rail adventure and experience the romance and luxury of a train vacation across seven provinces from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Relax in the soothing motion of the train, look out the window or up through the scenic dome, and bask in the stunning Rocky Mountains scenery and the warmth of maritime hospitality. Via Rail’s “The Canadian” is established among the most renowned trains in the world. In the space of four nights and four days, you’ll get to see the magnificent Rocky Mountains, the western Prairies, the lush boreal forest and lakes in Northern Ontario. Via Rail’s “The Ocean” train travels 1,346 km from charming Montréal to the blissful backdrop of coastal islands, lighthouses, rural communities and seascapes in Nova Scotia. Spend two nights in the heart of Montreal, conveniently located close to Old Montreal and top-rated restaurants. Enjoy a narrated coach tour in and around Montreal and free time to explore one Canada’s most vibrant cities. Check in for four nights in Nova Scotia’s capital city of Halifax with day trips to Pegg’s Cove, the Bay of Fundy and a lobster fishery lunch to remember.
