Classic Canada and Rockies Westbound

Westbound independent rail trip across Canada, Toronto to Vancouver via the Rockies

Railbookers sells Classic Canada and Rockies Westbound as a 12-day, 11-night independent rail package running from Toronto to Vancouver. The trip opens in Toronto with a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour, then continues to Niagara Falls for a full-day tour that includes a boat cruise close to the falls and time to explore Niagara-on-the-Lake. From there, travelers board VIA Rail's classic Canadian route out toward the Canadian Rockies, continuing on to Jasper before the trip ends in Vancouver. Because it is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers move between stops on their own between the rail connections Railbookers arranges. It suits travelers who want to see the Canadian Rockies by rail after starting in Ontario.
