    The train ride is too long and only one person operating the kitchen. The line was heavy in the morning to get coffee.

    In general the tour was very good. We saw many wonderful places and things worked efficiently. We did find it difficult to meet the guide when the train arrived in Jasper. If the guide could wait at the main station entrance this would be much easier. There was a full schedule of sites to see and this was generally quite fine and to be expected. On the last day however, with the final journey to Calgary, it might be better to take out Johnson Canyon? This would make the day less exhausting and an earlier finish in Calgary while still having the wonderful gondola ride in Banff,Bow Falls and Surprise Corner which would be a wonderful day in itself. After the Columbia IceFields, Moraine Lake and so many other amazing sights in the previous days, I did feel Johnson Canyon was not interesting in comparison, and something that could well be left out, to avoid such a long day at the end of the trip. My other big problem was that the train tickets and vouchers did not arrive until a few days before the train departed. This was terribly stressful and should not have happened. I had to chase it up at a time when I was leaving Australia to fly to Canada. I can not understand why these documents were not issued immediately on receipt of the final payment weeks before and it was a major issue.

    We enjoyed our tour very much, the sights were beautiful, staff we well informed. A highlight for us was the optional evening photographic tour. The only thing stopping me from giving five stars was the last day felt very rushed, especially at the Banff gondola as the queue to get on took half an hour and not enough time allocated to our lunch at the Lake Louise Chateau, we had to ask the waitress to bring out the dessert while we were eating the main as we only had 15 minutes until the bus left. Allocate a bit more time for those things and you will get five stars.
