The mountain resorts of Banff and Jasper have everything you need for a comfortable stay, as well as Vancouver - a wonderful city; clean, safe and extremely friendly. To explore more, you could even complete a full Trans-Canada rail journey.
Our expert recommends:
Canada is a wonderfully diverse destination with countless highlights, and from a tourism perspective, it’s a country that in many ways sells itself. Travellers often choose to explore multiple times so it is always worth advertising Canada in your portfolio.
A typical itinerary for me would be flying to Toronto for a 2-3 night stay, visiting Niagara Falls. Followed by a rail journey to Jasper to experience Lake Louise and Banff. I recommend the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver too if time permits! Our expert recommends:

I specialise in tailor-made holidays, having worked in the industry for over 40 years

Our expert recommends:
I have taken the train along the St. Lawrence River, from Toronto to Quebec via Ottawa and Montreal. Rail travel in Canada is so simple, making all of the must-see sights so accessible with picture-perfect scenery along the way to capture.
Our expert recommends:
I have been selling Rocky Mountaineer for many years with additional trips to Victoria Island, Lake Louise via Kamloops and then onto Banff, with additional extensions in Calgary. I would reccomend pairing with an Alaska cruise.
Our expert recommends:
Driving through the rocky mountains was a highlight for me. The beautiful lakes, wildlife spotting, accessability to everything and friendly nature of the locals really makes the trip. Make sure your customers truly soak up the scenery here, it is stunning.

I have experienced a tailor-made itinerary myself including rail and excursions and we stayed in the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City (the most iconic hotel). Once you go to Canada, you will want to keep going back!
Our expert recommends:
I have skied in Banff and Lake Louise myself, and have knowledge of Calgary, Vancouver and more Calgary is often overlooked for a stay for a few nights in the city would not disappoint – if you are interested in visiting in July the Calgary Stampede runs for 10 days a wild west extravaganza and well worth a visit!
