Viewing Album:  Riding the Royal Canadian Pacific
 
By:Jonathan Hinely
Dates:9/24/2019 - 9/24/2019
Album Info:I was invited to ride The Royal Canadian Pacific Travel Industry Familiarization Trip because my travel agency was their highest seller on public trips. So we we're invited to give feedback and learn about their future offerings. And what an amazing day it was. I honestly have no words to describe the trip other than WOW! By far the best rail experience I've ever had. Our ride began at the Ogden Shops and took us first to Banff for some bus tours, then onto Lake Louise for a reception, and more bus tours. We had three chef prepared meals on board the train that we're the best food I've ever had. And if everything I said before hasn't sold you on this trip. We had open platforms, and open vestibules in the Canadian Rockies. If anyone has any questions and wants to know more about how to book a trip, or just wants to hear about how it was. Just email me.
