The trip was wonderful! Thank you so much for all you did to make it special. The wine and card upon our arrival was so thoughtful and sweet. When we arrived at the Frontenac there was a tray with 5 delightful desserts from the hotel staff and a note wishing me happy birthday. Special touches courtesy of you. We all enjoyed Montreal. It reminded ... read more me of a blend of New York City and San Francisco. The hotel was great! The food was great! We had a delicious Italian dinner the night we arrived. After our bus tour the next day we chose not to take the shuttle back to the hotel and ventured out on our own. We found a pub along the way and enjoyed fish-n-chips and craft beer! That night we were in search of the best poutine Montreal had to offer and found it at the quaint, courtyard Montreal Poutine restaurant. Quebec City – no words. What a beautiful city. We all agreed we could have easily stayed a couple more days. The food, the people, the energy of the city… we absolutely LOVED the walking tour. Our guide was delightful. The boat tour was a bit chilly but we survived. And the hotel. Oh my goodness, there are no words. It was FABULOUS! Several people have asked how we knew where to go. I have given all of them your information. I hope they will call or email when they decide to visit Canada. We will be back and we WILL ask you to plan our trip. Thank you for everything.

The trip was absolutely amazing! I did not know that Western Canada was so beautiful and so friendly. We saw so many nice places that we will keep in memories and in pictures. The Rockies, the mountains, the weather, our stay at the hotels, the people, the scenery of the lakes, the boat cruise which was a surprise for us, the excursions, the food ... read more and shops everything was absolutely magnificent and perfect. I would recommend this trip to anyone that we know. Everything was well organized and well planned. The ride on the VIA train was great. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and the view in the dome was amazing. Now all of this is my dreams come true since I was a little girl I dreamed to go on a trip on the VIA. Now, if my health and wealth permitted my plan is to do East Canada. You can be sure that when I am ready for it that I will be contacting you to make this happen. Your choices for everything on this trip were excellent and with no problems. Thank you again for your help and for your expertise in planning our trip. You have made this trip special and very easy for us and we really appreciate it. Again, thank you very much for everything and be sure that we will be in touch again for another adventure in the near future.

It's a good thing I didn't splurge and get a better room with a lake view because, had I, we never would have left the room.

Loved all the activities, the best would be the heli-hike, what an experience! Really enjoyed every one. As the rafting was cancelled, we did the horse trek with the 'cowboy and cook out', it was great fun and we would recommend it. We would recommend the Spirit Bear Lodge. Just what we expected and obviously sighting the bears was the icing on the cake. Experiencing the culture of the Kitasoo was a real bonus. Listening to the Elders, who were also guides and skippers, singing in the main dining room on a stormy day was ever so special. We had a few 'hick ups' and thanks to Sarah they were fixed quickly. Our lake view room at Lake Louise was just breath taking and thanks to all for fixing out that problem with the accommodation. We have so many precious memories of our holiday, too many to mention, and I would like to say a special thank you to you and Sarah for making it all happen.

We have had a most memorable celebration of our 60th anniversary, and certainly much of the credit goes to you. Janet was unaware of my plans after we left Spokane. The staff at the hotel was well aware of the significance of our stay, an indication of your thoughtfulness. The concierge made arrangements for us to be picked up early in the morning ... read more of June 26th so I did not have to tell the driver where to take us. Janet was thrilled when she saw the bright orange brick Rocky Mountaineer building. As we entered the building, and heard the pianist playing on the grand piano, with the sound reverberating throughout, and experienced the warm greeting of those meeting us. I knew we were in for something very special. When we gave our names to the person registering us, she greeted us with "Happy Anniversary!" During registration, a senior member of staff came to greet us, and asked us if we would like to blow the horn before departure. We were then escorted outside the building where we jointly practiced the foot pedal procedure on how to blow the portable horn. At exactly 7:20, the senior member in charge of registration and boarding asked all 600+ guests to come forward and with microphone in hand announced that it was our 60th anniversary and that we would blow the horn to signify that it was time to board the train….quite an honor. The entire trip on the train was glorious! The scenery was spectacular, the food excellent, and the staff well trained and friendly. You can be assured that we will recommend Fresh Tracks to any and all that wish to enjoy some of the world's most magnificent scenery. The lodges were very nice. I am wondering if you pulled some strings with the hotel in Banff, even though I made those reservations on my own, it surprised me we received such exceptional treatment. Our room on the Gold Level 5th floor, had the best view of the Bow river, the falls and valley of any room on that floor. And the bottle of champagne and chocolate strawberries were in our room on arrival. Several special desserts were prepared in our honor during our 4 day stay. You have provided us with memories that will last our lifetime. I am a big fan of Fresh Tracks and we will likely be in touch with you for a Trans Canadian trip someday.

The guide could not have been more pleasant and interesting. The Ice walk was thrilling and Lake Louise beautiful, if cold! We even saw a bear on our journey! Our two room suite at the hotel in Banff was just right. Thank you for suggesting that. I spent a very happy hour at the "cave" hot springs! We enjoyed the tour of Banff (with hot chocolate and cookies!) and the Gondola ride, despite the weather (snow and hail so very limited view). At 12:30pm, right on time a car arrived to take us to Calgary to catch our flight home. We spent that morning shopping in Banff (the Roam bus stop was right outside the hotel, perfect!)
All in all a fantastic trip. Amazing scenery and perfectly planned for us! Thank you!

No other travellers we met had such a rich and thoughtful itinerary

Thank you, thank you - what a vacation! Canada is as dramatically beautiful as we had hoped but all the local detail work you put in really made it extra special. Living in the UK, we could never in a million years have sorted out the quality of hotels you put together let alone getting the rooms with the best views, great personal guides, the kayaks ... read more and our favourite the tickets for travelling by float plane. You must recommend the heli-hiking - the guide and the company you put us with made it a very special day. In the three weeks we were there, no other travellers we met had such a rich and thoughtful itinerary – they were all as impressed as we were with what you, as local travel specialists, had put together for us. Like it said on your website – every detail, every amazing day! So many, many thanks to you all especially Eva, Katherine and Louise for putting together such a perfect Canada experience.

From the very first phone call, Fiona was remarkable at finding out what I wanted to do, even though I didn't know what there was to do, and then guiding me to a number of sites to view the elements of travel that she was suggesting.

Every tour person, every bus driver, every hotel and train accommodation was exactly as she said it would be. Every tour and hotel person was knowledgeable, personable and helpful. Our tours were comprehensive and exciting. Our guides gave us plenty of time at each venue and suggested restaurants and activities that they thought we would enjoy. I could go on and on about these two awesome women. I will add that everyone else in your office that I spoke with was just as friendly and helpful. Fiona and Sarah are the best, and I don't say that lightly. I am a travel agent, myself, and if I had an office in Canada I would try to steal them away from you!

Fantastic and memorable holiday
July 26, 2014
“
We had a really fantastic holiday. It all worked very well and the shape of the itinerary was excellent. A few comments in different areas: Itinerary – felt right pace of moving on and stopping. Think it was about right. One or two very long drives but then it's a big place! Places – Whistler and Banff were probably the best parts. Whistler ... read more in particular is a great resort (we skied there 20 years ago but it's developed a lot and is lovely in the summer); Tofino was wild and windswept but fun; Clearwater was a good stop for Wells Gray but otherwise less going on; Jasper was nice but less so than others; Vancouver was a great city so a good place to start. Activities – really there were no 'misses', family enjoyed everything. In order of family vote with best first – rafting in Banff, Grouse Mountain (especially the Grouse Grind), Blue River safari, kayaks in Tofino, ziplining, cycling in Jasper etc. Whale watching was probably last. Lodges & Hotels – no complaints and generally very good, especially Whistler and Clearwater. Sometimes a bit cramped being all in one room and not ideal with the kids sharing a bed. But locations more than made up for this, eg. Tofino, Jasper and Clearwater were all in terrific spots. Car – great, no complaints. Weather – fantastic, thank you for arranging. Overall, a fantastic and memorable holiday.

You made it easy and painless
July 25, 2014
“
Molly and I had a wonderful time but more important than that, it was EXACTLY what we needed. You expertly saw to the details that left me looking capable and in control. You suggested amazing and fun options that would or could and did appeal to the both of us. You made it easy and painless, leaving us to live in the moment and enjoy each and every ... read more one of those moments. Then, to take it a step further, you showed us great kindness by treating us to a beautiful dinner. Molly thoroughly enjoyed being an adult and ordering a cheese plate for dessert, while I had my very first soufflé and fell instantly and deeply in love. A beautiful space, delicious food, friendly staff and an unexpected showing of generosity. Again, thank you. There were only a couple hiccups, Molly LOVED having people with signs waiting for us at every step, even though the names changed with every place. And we did not get to see the Bay of Fundy. That has long been a wish of mine. An item on my bucket list, let's say. Six weeks or so prior when we received the e-mailed itinerary I read through it and all was correct. One month prior when the hard copies arrived, I failed to notice that a different tour was listed for Halifax. I didn't notice the discrepancy until right before we were to be picked up. Instead of the tides of Fundy, the tour was "Once Upon a Tide" with no Bay of Fundy and instead 2 plus hours of hiking and 3 hours of kayaking. I was horrified, intimidated and afraid of making a fool of myself by not being able to keep up with the 21-yr-old guide and the other 8 tour mates all of which were easily 30 years younger than me. Decades-old insecurities cropped up and I just had to try and laugh it off by telling everyone that I was the Senior Citizen of the Group and that my job was to make everyone else look good. But I didn't need to worry quite so much. Gillian (or perhaps Jillian) our tour-guide was a sweetheart, I huffed and slipped my way through the rocky beach part of the hike, did fine on the rest though occasionally pretending to be slower due to my need to take pictures, and if I can be so bold, Molly and I kicked butt kayaking! The tour turned out to be a real highlight that we both loved, but possibly Molly's favorite of the whole trip. Such gorgeous sights plus we needed to step up the activity level after spending so much (enjoyable) time on the train from Quebec City. So thank you Fresh Tracks Canada for an unexpected pleasure! How did you know? As for the Bay of Fundy, I will have a do-over someday. Surprising to me, but Halifax was Molly's favorite of the three cities and we would both like to return someday, and visit more of the Maritime Provinces as well. I got to revisit Quebec and see things I could not 20+ years ago, Molly was delighted with the Frenchness of it all, we got to pretend we understood what people were saying to us, my favorite of the hotels was the Bonaparte, the food tour was both filling and fulfilling, we saw museums, art, whales and fireworks (boomlights in our family), we rode paddle boats, big boats, kayaks, trains, horse-drawn carriages, cable cars, funiculars, subways, buses, taxis and limos, did ghost tours, got henna tattoos, ate ate and ate yet again, had high tea, picnicked, shopped shopped and shopped some more, took a million pictures (me), sketched a few pictures (Molly), talked and shared with strangers and didn't feel strange at all while doing it. We joined a local festival, tried new food (both gourmet and junk) and drink, discovered new music, enjoyed being pampered and spoiled, did NOT check e-mail or phone messages, did NOT watch news or think of work or bills. Molly's favorites included things from a young teen perspective: the smallness of everything on the train (though I was the only one brave enough to take a moving shower), the Chateau's big white fluffy robes, ordering in room service not once but twice at the Lord Nelson, sleeping in the airport, the irony behind my 'temporary' tattoo being the symbol for 'eternity', being mistaken as a real live Canadian, etc, etc. All those words, all I had to say was it was lovely!

The trip you helped us plan was delightful. Thank you so much for the meticulous planning of our itinerary. Each step had been thought through with appropriate support. It was almost magical to see each day reveal itself exactly as described in the itinerary, even to the amount of driving time between stops. We loved Quebec in every way, including ... read more the wonderful Hotel 71. The train ride was great fun, then we discovered each day another facet of Atlantic Canada. You were right in predicting that we would love the people in that part of your beautiful country. They were friendly and helpful and seemed personally pleased to know that we were enjoying our holiday. Driving around Nova Scotia and Prince Edward's Island was easy (thanks for the maps, by the way) and we got to see spectacular coastal areas as well as charming country villages. We had great accommodations everywhere, with the possible exception of the Auberge Doucet in Cheticamp. This inn was not of the same quality as the others where we stayed, but it was not horrible, and we would not have wanted to miss this part of Cape Breton. You can tell that we had a great time, ate lots of delicious seafood, practiced our French, and learned so much. If there is one thing I would suggest for improvement it would be to ensure each accommodation has the ability to assist with luggage. Only Hotel 71 and The Great George had elevators, and in nearly every other place we had to struggle our bags up several flights of stairs to reach our rooms. For two seniors one of whom is a bit infirm, this was work. The very kind limousine driver in Halifax who delivered us from the train station insisted on helping there. Just a suggestion... So again, many, many thanks. We will surely brag about our trip to anyone who will listen, and we'll recommend your services to all.

We had a GREAT trip. I really could not pick which area I liked the best - they were all so different, yet equally beautiful in their own ways. Vancouver had so many things to do and see, the Hop-on Hop- off Trolley worked great. Enjoyed Stanley Park, Chinatown, Gastown and the Bay cruise was beautiful (food was excellent). The Sutton Place - WOW ... read more - what's not to like. The Rocky Mountaineer was exceptional: Silverleaf service worked great for us as we liked the flexibility to get up and down when we wanted; service was excellent (Blaine and Bernardo were a hoot!); could not ask for better food. Jasper was fun and we liked that our hotel (the Sawridge) was close enough to walk to town. Lake Louise had absolutely breathtaking views. The Fairmont was very classic and beautiful - although a little to stiff for my taste, it was VERY nice. Banff was better as we liked the Rimrock very much (rooms were larger, less formal). Loved the tours - so glad we were on the smaller vehicles and groups, it allowed us to spend more time at stops, had a picnic by the river and enjoy our drivers more. The only driver that was a little disappointing was a man in Jasper - he was from France and the sound system was bad so was very hard to understand at times. All the pick-ups were good and mostly on time (except for Jasper which was 30 min late). The boat ride to Maligne Lake, the all-terrain vehicle to the glacier and the gondola in Banff were all added highlights to an already beautiful experience. I have already recommended Fresh Tracks and this trip to several people and would not hesitate to use your expertise or company again. THANK YOU for all your help and making our vacation one I will always remember.

The trip across Canada was amazing. It was our trip of a lifetime. Everything was so well planned by you and your company. There were a few things that went wrong but those things were the airlines fault. Also I wanted to mention another incident that I caused which had me in a panic. We boarded a Sundog Tour bus in Jasper to the Icefield Parkway ... read more tour to Banff. We stopped at Lake Louise, The Fairmont Chateau. We looked through the Chateau and the shops and looked at Lake Louise, then we went on the Banff. When I reached in for my wallet to give the tour guide, Grauden Pike a tip, I did not have my wallet. I had left it in the restroom at the Chateau. Grauden said that he was going back by the Chateau the next day and he would look for it. I called the Chateau and they referred me to the housekeeping lost and found, which they said no one had turned a wallet in. I feared the worst, thinking about all the money, credit cards and drivers license that were all gone. Grauden Pike called the next day and he had asked the front desk at the Chateau and someone had turned it in to the front desk and they had put it in the safe. I instructed them to give it to Grauden because he said there was another tour guide coming back into Banff and he would leave it at the bus station in Banff. We went to the bus station in Banff and picked up the wallet and everything was in the wallet. Not anything was missing. So many wonderful, honest people were looking out for a stranger. I can't thank them enough. I wish you could contact Sundog Tours on my behalf and tell them how Grauden Pike helped a stranger out. He deserves some recognition for going beyond the call of duty to help a customer out.

He kept asking me (while on the tour) 'Did you know it was going to be like this?' Obviously he had something else in mind and so this was new, fun, and tasty to boot! He had a smile on the entire afternoon, especially after the Montreal Bagel shop stop... he'd heard about them, but hadn't found them until then! On our train ride to Baie Saint Paul we were seated with a delightful French couple who chatted the entire time. The scenery and food were excellent, but our conversation and bonding with this couple just made the morning perfect. On the return trip they discovered we weren't seated at the same table and marched to the attendant to have it changed so that we could sit together again, 'so you won't be lonely'... how much more delightful was the day with their company. We've emailed since actually. And I came home with stories, history, recipes, and ideas on things to buy (which we found and did purchase) that were uniquely Quebec (food items)... the day just seemed to fly by with their company and kindness. A delightful journey filled with great memories. The entire vacation was fabulous. The views, the people, the locations of the hotels in Montreal and Quebec were outstanding. We'd never have thought to stay there ourselves. They were so convenient with such nice accommodations and the areas were well worth exploring. Simply a lovely trip filled with wonderful memories.

We had a wonderful vacation, and it was so nice to have all the details all taken care of ahead of time by you, so we could spend our time enjoying it all and not having to worry about the arrangements, etc. We all loved Quebec City, but I believe we had the best time in Montreal. We loved the Bonaparte Hotel and the French Restaurant. The staff ... read more was awesome. They were all so friendly and helpful; they made our stay so enjoyable. They couldn't do enough for us; and the food was great! We really loved the personal touch we got from them. Both hotels were very nice, and the locations were perfect. I believe everything went smoothly, except for a little mix up with the tour company in Quebec. They told us we needed a voucher for the cruise, but when we told them we didn't have one, they said not to worry about it. Thanks for everything, and I hope we get a chance to visit some other parts of Canada soon.

We had a GREAT time. You and our granddaughter Emma wore us out – wouldn't have it any other way. We saw lots on black bears. We had no hick ups. Good job!

The whole trip was wonderful
May 28, 2013

We had a great time on the trip and hated to have to return home. There were only two little bumps but both were pretty easy to clear up. The reservation at La Frontenac seemed to be for a room with two full size beds. They were able to switch us to a room with one King. Also the days for the two tours in Halifax were reversed. The city highlights ... read more tour was on Tuesday and Peggys Cove was Wednesday. When we called to confirm the tours the Grayline person got us sorted out. The whole trip was wonderful. We are already dreaming of when we can return but it may not be until our 5 or 10 year anniversary. Aside from the time we spent wandering around the towns and seeing the sights, our two favorite parts were the Charlevoix and the Peggys Cove trips. Both were beautiful. We took almost two thousand pictures through the whole trip and each gained several pounds from the wonderful food. It was certainly a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thanks so much for all your help!

Trip was super, although the weather could have been a little better. We were prepared with rain gear, so still went on walks in light rain (Lake Louise and Stanley Park). All services were very good and very punctual.
Appreciate your services.

Everything about the trip was perfect and well planned
February 7, 2013
“
Everything about the trip was perfect and well planned. We were met with wonderful drivers and they were always on time. The train trip was beautiful and then we ran into the perfect storm. I do not know whether or not you heard about it but we were stuck in Halifax for two more days. Your connection in Halifax could not pick us up because no cars ... read more were allowed on the roads. We were pitiful but still we had a good time. I would not recommend trying to get out of Halifax when your flight is canceled as it is very remote to planes. I would, however, recommend the trip to anyone if they want a great adventure. By the way, you should try to share a sleeping compartment on the train with someone who packs too many bags. We loved the people we met they were all friendly and fun! Thank you.

I will definitely be recommending Fresh Tracks Canada

Overall the trip was great! I was really impressed with the transfers that were organised. They were fantastic and at times really saved the trip. One part of the trip that we all found quite disappointing was the train trip. On our first part, from Vancouver to Jasper, the train arrived 5 hours late. I understand that these things happen but the ... read more Via Rail staff were extremely unhelpful and by the time we finally arrived in Jasper we were all feeling very disheartened and figured that being 5 hours late we would not be making it to Lake Louise that night. Luckily our driver from Sundog Tours was there waiting for us – hence why the transfers at times saved our trip. The rest of the train trip wasn't as bad but overall the staff on the train were unhelpful and I will not be recommending that any of my friends travel using Via Rail. On a lighter note, I was impressed with all the hotels, except for the Rundlestone Lodge in Banff where the people working at the desk were again rude and snappy. All the other hotels were wonderful and the people working there made our trips really pleasant! One of the highlights of the trip was definitely staying at Lake Louise. It was like a magical winter wonderland and our snow shoeing adventure was one of the most fun things I have ever done! Our guide was amazing and made sure we were warm, safe and most of all had fun! Overall I really appreciated, as did my parents, that all the little details such as the transfers and activities were organised for us by you all at Fresh Tracks Canada. Having never been to Canada before it was good having people who know the country and where to go and what to do helping us organise our trip. Although I won't be recommending travel with Via Rail to friends and family, I will definitely be recommending Fresh Tracks Canada!

We just got back from our trip – it was beyond spectacular. What scenery! And everything worked out well. The hotel in Calgary was a disappointment. The location was perfect, but the bathroom was miniscule, the windows looked like they had not been cleaned in years. It was a 2 star only. I would say the hotel in Banff was adequate however it ... read more was 1 mile walk to downtown which was ok but it would have been nice to be a little closer.

Our trip was wonderful! We were so pleased and surprised that LaVern (and the rest of us) had special transportation help. She only had to get up the stairs on the large buses a few times. We both got upgraded at Lake Louise. Roger and I were in a Jr. suite that faced the mountains! It was huge and had a livingroom with a dining corner. Oh, to be ... read more rich enough to always live like that! The lakes were absolutely beautiful and the weather was perfect on the trip. The few showers were while we were on the bus.

WOW, was the common word my wife and I kept saying – we had a wonderful trip.

Our well-planned itinerary meant that no time was wasted
June 24, 2010
“
We had an absolutely marvelous time – and thank you very much for your large part in this. Every day was packed with the most beautiful scenery we could wish for and our well-planned itinerary meant that no time was wasted – though we didn't feel rushed. In fact, while seeing and doing so much we also felt completely relaxed and quite ... read more blessed to be there in such glorious settings. The weather was great and we had the good luck to see quite a lot of wild life – 3 bears at different times, coyotes, mountain sheep, deer and hoary marmots. We love Canada! We had to wait several hours to check in at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and as we were really tired, my husband especially, this was disheartening. We had actually paid for the previous night (and then canceled), so, considering that our flight arrival time was known to you, it would have been good if the room could have been held for us for immediate check-in. Also, the hotel said they only had us booked in for one night. They sorted it out and we were okay, but it caused a bit of stress. I've had much experience with sloppy hotel bookings so I suspect that this fault is theirs and not yours. After that though, everything went very smoothly and I must say I am so impressed with the way you organized it all. Thank you very much. We will be in touch again I'm sure, to see more of Canada, and Alaska too.

THANK YOU! With your help we had an absolutely amazing honeymoon! Everything worked out perfectly and was as we expected it would be. BC is a beautiful place and we can't wait to get back up there to do some skiing sometime. The only part of the itinerary where there was a bit of confusion was after the sea plane ride from Victoria to Whistler we ... read more didn't know if there would be a car or if we should just grab a taxi, but we got a taxi and everything worked out fine. The room in Victoria was a highlight in terms of the hotels, we had a room on the top floor which was great. All the excursions were great as well except no whales on the whale watching tour… it was beautiful anyways. Having never had a vacation planned/booked for me in the past, working with you and Fresh Tracks was a fantastic experience. Knowing that everything was well planned and well taken care of made it very easy for me to enjoy every minute of the trip.

We have arrived home after the most amazing holiday and I have to say that most of it was all credit to you.

I have also recommended that Jackie, our Travel agent here, use your services. We received our credit on our card for which we thank you, have also told everyone about that as well and how the airlines offered an open ticket for a year, which is no good to us and would not help, but how you helped and have paid us out, yet another reason to use you. Once again thank you so much for all your help you were wonderful from start to finish.

An amazing trip
September 6, 2008

I talked to the girls and all agree the absolute highlight of the trip was the Emerald Lake. The beauty, quiet and options were outstanding. We all went our separate ways for hikes on the one full day we spent there. The lake was amazing and the views were breathtaking and it was worth the effort. We only saw one other person on the trail in nearly ... read more 7 hours of hiking and I was very grateful for the hot tub when we got back. The guided hike to Stanley Glacier was also outstanding. Our guide was great and we had a chance to meet some great folks from the UK and Australia. Our kids hiked across the glacial bowl and filled up water bottles from the waterfall coming off the glacier, so we could all sample some, and we all had a chance to wade in the stream flowing off the moraine to cool our feet on the way back down. On the way from Jasper back to Calgary, the kids opted to go white water rafting in Field on the Kicking Horse, and really enjoyed themselves. The day trip we took to Whistler was spectacular. Several folks have asked about the trip, and I have given you and your team my highest recommendation. Thank you once again for setting up an amazing trip, and creating memories that our family will cherish for a lifetime.
