- 4-Day Rockies Winter Explorer Tour
I highly recommend this tour company ! I went to the Rockies Mountain with Meghan and Cristina. It was perfect !
Alexis our tour guide has a wealth of knowledge on all the places visited. The driver Charles did an excellent job also. Scenery was breathtaking although there is a lot of forest. We did see a couple of small black bears but hard to spot. The accommodation was excellent although I would have liked a little more time at them to enjoy their facilities. The new bus was not at all comfortable as the seat belts dug into our hips and the air conditioner did not have air flow above you only a central air conditioner in the ceiling. The was no where to store your phone, camera, or drinks so they had to be in a bag at your feet or in overhead compartment. All in all we saw some amazing places and will cherish our memories forever.
Vancouver, Banff & Rockies Summer - 5 days
Let me state from the outset that our Journey through the Clouds on board of Rocky Mountaineer was a very pleasant experience. We would definitely recommend it to a friend. (And we already have!). However, this review is focused on the areas that need improvement. It starts with a mess. The train terminal in Vancouver is obviously not equipped for the number of passengers waiting to board the train. There is a severe shortage of chairs. The chairs or sofas that are there are more suited for a large dentist office, not for the train terminal. The poor passengers, most of them in their 50’s and 60’s are searching helplessly around for something to sit on. In the meantime all the management has to do is visit any airport boarding gate. The solution there is vivid and simple. Our departure was festive and joyous. The entire staff of Rocky Mountaineer lined up to wave us goodbye. But then, I discovered myself sitting at the very end of the car next to a big man. I couldn’t see my wife and daughter sitting in the row in front of me on those bulky but not very comfortable chairs. My neighbor and I found ourselves embarrassingly jostling for the elbow space. As I said, the seats are massive but are not as comfortable as those designed for the long-haul airline flights. While transcontinental flights take 12-14 hours, here, passengers will sit in their seats for 2 – 3 days. I complained and they moved us to another car where we were sitting much closer upfront and I was seated in the same raw as my family. We have made this reservation a year in advance. One would think that having made it so early we should have had better seating arrangements. A little more consideration for the family members, a little extra consideration for those who signed up first and finally a better software allowing people to change their seats (just like the airlines) would go a long way. Finally, let me address the major problem: inadequate dining room and kitchen facilities. Because there is a severe shortage of restaurant tables combined with an acute shortage of kitchen facilities we, the passengers are divided into two groups. Half of the car has breakfast at 9, the second – at 11. Likewise lunch: one group eats at 12, the other at 2 PM. The shortage of dining cars aside, the kitchen is very small and can’t keep up with the dining room demand. So, by the time I get my breakfast I am on the fourth cup of coffee and even that is already cold. This presents a particularly big problem with lunch. Usually, I go to bed early and get up early (4 AM). So, if I finish my lunch at 4 PM, I will not be ready to eat dinner at 7. Because I refuse to go to bed with a full stomach, if I don’t start dinner by 6:30 – 7, I will not eat dinner that day at all. That said the quality of food aboard the train was excellent. My compliments to the Chef and his team! Coming from me it’s a big compliment. I am a foodie and would routinely travel anywhere for good food, be it Lion or Bologna. To summarize, Rocky Mountaineer is worth the money. It’s a great way to spend a vacation. Even your teenagers would like it. Yet, there is a lot to improve. Being from the US, I hope that soon someone would take this idea to the US Rockies and make a fortune.
