rockymountain rail tours
 
Thinking of taking the 6 nights/5days Yellowhead discover drive (rail and drive)itinerary - vancouver to kamloops to jasper to lake louise to banff. Has anyone done this? Is the package deal worth it? How would you rate the train trip on a scale of 1 to 10. What were the hotel accommodations like?

I live in Banff and have been on the train three times! I loved it! By all means go on it! There is tons of accommodation. What kind are you looking for and what is your budget?<BR><BR>Blessings<BR><BR>Stuart &lt;&gt;&lt;

My husband and I took the rockymountain rail from Calgary to Vancouver a couple of years ago (we splurged and paid for gold leaf service). We had a wonderful time. The food was unbelievable (honest) and the service was great.

I just returned from the rail tour from Vancouver to Banff, with the gold leaf service. The train trip was absolutely spectacular, with wonderful service, great commentary, and delicious gourmet meals. In every respect it was a truly first class operation, clearly a 10+.
