  The scenery on this trip was spectacular. Banff and the surrounding area is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. The train ride was also a very unique experience and a perfect way to see the landscape in a quiet and relaxed setting.

  Great trip, pricy but well worth it.

  We had excellent accommodations and the restaurants were very nice. Staying at the Banff Chateau was outstanding.I think having the gondola ride in Banff would have been better than the helicopter excursion, especially since no one did that ride.

  The places selected and the times allocate were excellent. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable, caring and had a contagious smile. In addition, the tour bus driver was fantastic. Always willing to help.

  I believe the title of tour is a little miss leading. Thank goodness we were not on the train for week it was only one day. That is plenty of time on the train. How Collette set it up was perfect. Little train, little bus, a little walking and a little by boat ( with add on). Thanks Collette

  With the exception of the Sawridge Lodge accommodations were stellar...Didn't enjoy the gem show much...too much of a sales pitch there.Our first driver Doug, was not on par with Collette...seemed like he was new; polite but didnt go over and above. But the drier Brent, who showed up last full day was excellent and provided superior service!Most favorable moments were...Julie Rolleman...exceptional!!!And the Glacier and train ride!

  The only thing I wouldn't rate 5 stars is the train accommodations. However, the food on the train was fantastic, as it was whenever we had an included meal on the tour. Most of all, I loved seeing all of the beautiful, snow-capped mountains from Jaspar till the ranch outside of Calgary.

  The train ride was not very scenic or comfortable. But the coach ride from Jasper through Lake Louise and to Banf was spectacular at this time of year with snow falls alternating with beautiful blue skies and snow-covered mountains and landscapes.

  The scenery was spectacular, loved the variety of areas visited & nice mix of scheduled and free time. Moraine Lake was so beautiful that everyone thought our photos looked fake! We climbed the spot to get the best view and were so overcome at the beauty it took your breath away! Sleeping on a train was a once fun & unique experience.

  The logistics were good upon arrival and departure. We appreciated Collette Compass and Collette Talk. Our side trip to Victoria was good. However the disappointing experience on the train was a bad start to a mediocre tour. The train was uncomfortable and did not compare well with train travel we have experienced. We were not seeking a ride on a 1950’s train, perhaps we didn’t read the promotional material carefully enough. We enjoyed Jasper, Lake Louise and Bannff and the ranch although we were given more time at tourist shops than we needed. Overall the scenery was good. The food was outstanding everywhere. The hotels were comfortable. The bus driver was competent and polite however we did not appreciate his off color stories. The tour director certainly knew the area well but she didn’t see with the same “first time eyes” we did. She did a good job in organizing and keeping everything on track. She was clearly at a disadvantage after the train ride because everyone we spoke with viewed it as a bad start. Overall we’ve experienced better and worse tours with Collette. Some tours with other companies were outstanding. We will look around more before we use Collette again.

  David took excellent care of all of us, and looked out for everyone. His knowledge of our destinations and their history and culture was comprehensive. Weather and train schedule presented a few challenges for him (totally out of his control, of course) and he went above and beyond to provide excellent service and other options as available. Pete, our driver, was a delight and a fountain of information as well.

  Bus driver from Vancouver to Victoria delayed our arrival by picking up others not on the Colette tour and proceeded to give us his tour so we weren’t able to explore Victoria. Train was very noisy and had poor ventilation. Colette advertised trip as a train tour but only one night on train.

  The only downside was not enough time at some destinations. There were stops on the tour that could have been eliminated allowing more time at some of the nicer places. There were many highlights, the fact that it snowed in the Rockies. The night on the Canadian Train was great fun and our stay at the Banff Springs Hotel was out of this world.

  The hotel in jasper was awful. The "Diner's Choice" was not really our choice but had to be chosen while on the bus sight and menu unseen. Then when we arrived at the banff restaurant we had a special tour menu and not the restaurant menu. The train was late, the food was mediocre and we had to sleep in bunk beds - that fact should have been explained in the brochure.

• Trip Rating:

  

  I enjoyed it very much. I thinkthe overnight accommodationson the train could have beenexplained more clearly, since as seniors it was challenging to be in such a confined spaceand have to climb up to a bunk bed.

  Not sure we had a favorite experience because we had a good time on the whole trip. Enjoyed the overnight train and Taking the Glacier buggy to the Glacier and being able to walk on it was something I had not done before. The rafting trip we ended up floating down the glacial river in rain, thunder, pouring rain, gusting wind and sleet. The weather was horrible BUT everyone laughed and joked. And when our joyride was over and the bus driver thought of bringing towels to dry off the rain stopped and the rest of the day it was sunny.

  Our tour manager was phenomenal. He brought the Canadian Rockies to life for us with the information and stories he shared. He was always ready to offer an alternative when schedules has to be changed. The Westin and Fairmont properties were spectacular. The accommodations, service, locations, food, etc, were all excellent. Accommodations in Jasper were somewhat disappointing in comparison. We would have rathered have stayed at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. All tour inclusions were wonderful with the exception of the ranch. This was a nice stop for lunch but we would have fathered have skipped the activities there and spent more time exploring Lake Louise.

  The hotel at Lake Louise was understaffed, thus we had to wait 2 hours to get a room. The hotel was excellent once we were in our room.Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the areas we covered, however, she was a little terse with some answers.

  Best was the boat cruise in Lake Maligne. Beautiful and serene.The walking on the Icefield Glacier and bus ride in the ice explorer was not as satisfactory.The Athabasca river water rafting in the heart of Canada's Jasper National Park was quite fun.

  This was an exceptionally excellent tour. Our tour guide made the trip for what it was with all of his insight in the area. The scenery was breathtaking every day. And the train ride was like an added bonus. The day at the Calgary Stampede and Chuck Wagon Races finished off with the evening entertainment was definitely a highlight. I plan to take a group in the future. Highly recommend this tour.

  The itinerary was excellent. Choice of hotels and other amenities was excellent. Bus driver was careful, courteous and fun. Tour manager was generally good, but on occasion gave incorrect information. When the hotel that we had been scheduled into was suddenly unavailable, Collette did an excellent job of providing alternative accommodations. While the hotel wasn't quite as nice as the one originally scheduled, the little added perks (extra stop at Natural Bridge and extra gondola ride) certainly made up for any minor inconvenience.

• Trip Rating:

  

  All the places we went were great. I especially liked Banff. Staying at the Banff Springs Resort (castle) was my favorite. The place is so big and beautiful with so much history. I loved the town. Great places to shop too. Very relaxing too since we did not have to drive and handle our luggage.

  The scenery, the tour mgr., the fine hotels all made this one of my best travel experiences.The sleep over on train was an adventure, & the first time for me. We were fortunate in that a blizzard two days before arrival blanketed snow all over the mountains, which made it more picturesque. Jasper was outstandingly beautiful. The lakes, rushing rivers and glaciers were awesome. Lake Louise was exquisite in every detail. The hotel was elegant, the meals top notch and the service outstanding. Banff also provided the elegance and grand scenery. I've been to Alaska, but I would rate this trip just as high in natural beauty and splendor.

  I had always wanted to go the the Canadian Rockies and Collette made this a memorable trip. We stayed in 5 star hotels, had delicious meals, etc. Every little detail was handled by Collette and our EXCELLENT tour manager. I especially liked Lake Louise and also going out onto the Columbia Glacier. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone contemplating visiting the Canadian Rockies.
