“We absolutely LOVED the Canada trip! We did not want the trip to end! I will try to send some of our pictures, we got some really great ones on the Johnston Canyon Ice Hike and the dogsledding and snowmobiling trips as well! My new husband and I were very happy with the service we got and the way everything was set up. The Fairmont in Jasper was amazing - they were the most accommodating of all the places we stayed (free room upgrade, complimentary champagne & chocolate strawberries in the room, free dessert at dinner in their restaurant).

The only thing we might have changed is perhaps the Deer Lodge in Lake Louise, it was nice and quiet, but perhaps a little too quiet for us, as we felt sort of like the only people there and we wanted to be around a few more guests at times, but the service there was good and the rooms were nice, and we loved the roof-top hot tub. If we did the trip again, which we have mentioned several times since we got home, we'd maybe like to spend two days in Banff and one day in Lake Louise, since there's so much more to see and do around Banff that we would have liked to have just maybe one more day.

The Fox hotel was very nice as well, and the service there was great, too. All our transfers and excursion pick ups were on-time and friendly, and we had a blast on all of them! Thank you again for an unforgettable honeymoon trip! I'll send some pics as soon as possible!”

“Well we're all back now, and we had an awsome holiday! Thank you so much for putting that together, and how you managed to get such great suites in each of the hotels I dont know!!! But cheers!”

“I wanted to let you know that my husband and I had a wonderful time in Newfoundland on our recent trip! It was fabulous. We saw whales, icebergs and moose, and met lots of wonderful people, saw some beautiful places! The activities were also excellent. The boat trips were well run, with interesting and amusing stories being told by the trip organisers. And we got up real close to some huge icebergs. We also saw an iceberg break up and roll over!! Whhoooohh!!

The sea kayaking trips were great and we were well looked after on each occasion. The weather was very kind to us too, which was a real bonus when we wanted to be outside such a lot!”

“Thank you! The itinerary and places to stay as well as your suggestions for eating and visiting were great. We really enjoyed ourselves. It was one of the best vacations we have had and hassle free. Everything was extremely well arranged by Fresh Tracks from arrival to departure. The hotels were very well chosen. The scenery in the Rockies was stunning and we saw a lot of wildlife including eagles and bears. One of the restaurants you recommended in Jasper has closed down but may we suggest the "Fiddle River" as an excellent place. We ate there on all three nights we spent in Jasper. Thank you once again for an unforgettable vacation.”

“A huge thank you for arranging our holiday! The arrangements were seamless and we had a great time. We are looking forward to using your services again in the future to see more of your beautiful country!”

“The trip was awesome. Everything was well planned and we enjoyed the activities that were set up. The rail ride was everything we expected. Thanks!”

“I wanted to tell you once more how much Julia and I enjoyed the vacation you provided for us. I find myself 'daydreaming' every time I think of the absolutely terrific train ride through the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. I have tried to relive every moment and still find new things to remember realizing even more how breathtaking it all was. I am very happy that we decided 'not to have any goals'. This allowed us to see and cherish every single moment and properly file it in our memories.

I purchased two "Gold Leaf" wine goblets for Julia and I and made a rule that no one in our family could drink out of them and that only Julia and I were allowed only if we were wearing our "Gold Leaf Pins". Silly, yes but it keeps our memory of the journey special.”

“We had a wonderful trip! Who knew we would have to go to Churchill to find summer weather! I believe either the first or second day there Churchill was the hot spot in all of Canada! It was beautiful! The people of Churchill are really wonderful, and their friendly attitude just makes the trip that much more special. Coral, our tour guide for the town tour when we first arrived was fantastic. She is definitely in the right profession. She is obviously passionate about the history, culture and natural aspects of the area, and was a wealth of information. She was also genuinely interested in the people on her tour.

The belugas were fantastic! Both boat trips (the big boat and the zodiac) were fantastic. The guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. What an incredible experience. The zodiac trip would be the highlight, I guess of a very wonderful trip! This would be because we were so close to the whales. They are amazing to watch and to listen too. It often sounded like they were talking to us.

A bonus of the trip was the aurora borealis. It was like watching music and seeing ghosts dance. It was incredible.

Also the food was great. The local bakery, deli and town hang out spot is excellent. The Tundra Inn Restaurant was really, really good. The Aurora Inn was just fine. Clean, the room was large and comfortable.

I will definitely recommend you and Fresh Tracks to anyone who is interested. Friendly staff makes such a difference! Thank you for everything!”

“The logistics worked perfectly, the hotels were good and the service second to none. The sightseeing tours of Toronto and Quebec were fine and interesting. We knew Toronto quite well from previous visits, but we learned quite a lot of the history etc. on this trip. We have a friend in Toronto and on our first day attended a D Day parade outside the new City Hall. Once again our thanks for a well done holiday. It was flawless.”

“You did a superb job of planning and executing our trip. It was absolutely wonderful and everyone we met was most helpful, friendly and more than we expected. And how delighted we were and totally surprised when the attendant on our first train trip upgraded us to First Class because of our 50th Wedding Anniversary!!! It was GREAT! All of the tours were informative, funny and friendly. We will have lots of good memories and big love for our neighbor to the north. Thank you again for doing such a good job.”

“We loved the trip! The train ride was lovely with better food and smoother ride than Amtrak. The Canadian people were charming and helpful and the food was exquisite. We loved Place d'Arms, the rooms, location and complimentary breakfast in that gorgeous dining area. We ate at Modavie and the food and atmosphere was wonderful. Tours were wonderful also. We had an 18th floor room overlooking the seaway at the Frontenac and the architecture with the views was fabulous. We ate at Michaelangelo in Saint Foy - fabulous. Thanks for everything, you are very professional and I have recommended you to my friends.”

“The trip was wonderful! Absolutely amazing and breathtaking. Thank you so much for your help with the planing.

I did lots of sightseeing... from the Capilano suspension bridge in Vancouver to hiking near the Bow River in Banff. The trip from Jasper to Banff was incredible... The Rockies are so bright and happy. And the train trip was a classic experience that I will definitely have to do again.”

“I want to thank you for an absolutely fabulous trip that you planned for us. From beginning to end everything was perfect and even when I misplaced two coupons your office quickly faxed new ones to our hotel. The hotels were fantastic, the service perfect, and everyone was so helpful and friendly.

My son's comment was, "Canada is an upgraded United States" and I wouldn't be surprised if he moved to Vancouver or Victoria. The Rocky Mountaineer was a once in a lifetime experience and first class all the way. i must have gained 10 pounds just in those two days. What a magnificent country you have and what wonderful people.”

“We have left Canada after our trip which we thoroughly enjoyed. The arrrangements which you made for us all went very well and we enjoyed the beautiful splendour of the Rockies and the service on the train was excellent, certainly a journey to remember. I would like to thank you for your help in making those arrangements on our behalf.”
