Eastern Canada Rail Tours
Great all year round, but especially scenic during the autumn in September and October, our Eastern Canada route is like stepping into the golden past aboard nostalgic VIA Rail trains.
Traversed by a network of scenic train routes, this tour offers a mesmerizing journey through diverse landscapes and vibrant cities. The iconic VIA Rail takes passengers through the lush greenery of the Maritimes, with its charming coastal towns and historic sites. As the train winds its way through Quebec, passengers are treated to picturesque views of the St. Lawrence River and the cultural richness of cities like Montreal. Continuing into Ontario, where the train glides past the serene beauty of lakes and forests, and includes the dynamic city of Toronto. Eastern Canada by train is a captivating blend of natural wonders and urban allure, creating an unforgettable travel experience.

Now that my wife and I have rested after our very enjoyable tour of Canada and are back into our normal routine we would not like the time to pass without passing on to Canada Rail staff our sincere thanks for making all the reservations and organizing the itinerary. Suffice it to say that things went like clockwork obviously due in large part to the experienced and dedicated Canada Rail Vacations staff. We will happily refer you to any of our friends and acquaintances who are considering travelling in Canada and will look to you next time we choose to travel in Canada. Many thanks to all!Doug & Norma L, Farrer, Australia (The Canadian Trip of a Lifetime)
My wife and I were extremely happy with the wonderful personalized service your company offered on our recent trip from Vancouver to Montreal, using the Rocky Mountaineer and VIA Rail. Your staff kept us informed of schedule changes and chose excellent tour guides for those portions of the trip where we were in small group settings. All accommodations were excellent. and all tours went off on time and featured sights that greatly enhanced our experience.Roger and Virginia R, California, USA (Canadian Trip of a Lifetime Eastbound)
