    Join me on one of the world's most luxurious and exciting train journeys. The Rocky Mountaineer train across the Canadian Rockies, from Banff to Vancouver. I'll show you exactly what it's like to travel on this private train, from the dining to where I sleep and even the outside viewing deck! It's a trip like none other, and is widely regarded as Canada's most luxurious train. I'm in what's called Gold Leaf today, but there is also Silver Leaf offered.
    We'll start in the gorgeous town of Banff and you'll join me every step of the way, First Class, all the way to Vancouver. Now of course this experience doesn't come cheap, but i'll explain exactly how I booked, and how much I paid.

    I took the Rocky Mountaineer on the reverse ride just two weeks ago and one of the things that was of great use to me is something that you did not mention at all - that is there is a lift in each car for those who have trouble navigating the narrow spiral staircase. The crew is always eager to help in this regard. So going to the dining car or to the washroom is no trouble at all. Th lift can even accommodate wheelchairs. Good job Rocky Mountaineer!

    Hi, we went on this train in June /22 and enjoyed it immensely. The magnificent scenery, comfort , exquisite food and friendly, accommodating staff and meeting of new friends have truly made this a memorable trip. A bit on the expensive side but something you should experience and add to your bucket list. My wife and I had taken a 13 day Alaska cruise and land tour before picking up the train in Vancouver. This train excursion didn’t end up in second place as the scenery and service blended seamlessly into the best vacation we have ever taken. This turned out to be the trip we had hoped for as our reservation had been cancelled upon the pandemic setting in, but we’ll worth the 2 year wait

      Try and say to yourself, a stranger is only a friend that you have not met yet. The atmosphere is more like being for there for each other and looking after one another. The kind staff will look after your every need, and dispel any fear. I have made friends from across the globe. You don't need to break the ice, they are friendly and chat to you. If you go, and you don't like it, say never again. But at least you will have tried it. How about go with a friend ? I genuinely wish you luck conquering your fear. It is not easy. But you are not alone.

The Adelaide Restaurant fare was pretty much over the top... pretty much the same quality as a top restaurant anywhere in the world... and the service... well it was just fabulous. We were one of two American couples on board, the rest were Aussies (Aussies are fun). Highly recommend.

You had to take a return trip to see everything because it was non-stop and you slept on the train during the night portion of the trip. One time the train was stuck in the mountains all day while they cleared an avalanche from the tracks. I loved every minute of it. It was also a very cheap way to travel. The price of the new train was really shocking to me.

      I have done every railway line in Canada (except Churchill). That includes 4 different Rocky Mountaineers (they do 5 different routes, the fifth goes to Seattle). I have also done all FIVE railways in Alaska. Done every railway in Britain, Ireland, Norway (except Narvik), Portugal, and most of Europe, plus some AMTRAK routes in the US. Any questions, just ask. Kind regards, from London, England.

    Will ? You have taken us on some amazing train rides over the past weeks but this was by far the best. I never knew how beautiful Canada is until I watched this video. The scenery is awesome. What a spectacular train journey. The train I thought was the cleanest compared to all other trains you’ve travelled on. Oh and let’s not forget the food which looked so good. I could have eaten the salmon 🍣 and the beef 🥩 steak. This train treck through Canada was so gorgeous it made my heart pound. Well done Will this was fantastic.

    Big fan of the mountains. Fresh air makes you wild. The wilderness is something to accept, not ignore. Ignorance can be bliss but in the long term will lead to blunder. Imagine a long path with lots of winding sub-paths, that's life. Personally I'm very excited for the Arctic Monkey's next album. Are you?

    years and years ago my mom and cousin and I had quite a wonderful vacation. First flew to Calgary and saw part of the famous rodeo, rained out. then bussed several miles, then got on what we knew then as the rocky mountaineer. I think three days with nights in motels along the way. The train was not luxury by any means but very enjoyable. Had a lady telling us all about the sights along the way. I remember that the track was privat, but we had to stop to let freight trains pass. We had a wonderful time and the train was only part of the trip, all together two weeks, with the last week on a cruise ship. Your trip made me want to take another trip. Lovely.
