We booked this trip back on 2025 so to say we are excited is an understatement!!…read more We booked the double decker Gold Leaf service which is just amazing. They will give you bag tags (straight through tags that do not need to be brought to your room in Kamloops at the halfway point or cards with your hotel name on it that you need with you) If you have everything tagged correctly, drop off is super easy to take your bags and you head and go get coffee We have literally been spoiled silly for the past two days. The gold leaf service is the upper floor and it is glass dome, so you have excellent views the entire way. You have two hosts that are taken care of the car, but they're also providing commentary along the way. We were in one of the newer cars, and the leather seats were super comfortable, we had heated seats. We had lumbar support, foot rest, and everything was automated at the seat. We had breakfast and lunch served both days and both were substantial meals as well as they served canopies in the afternoon. Our bags were exactly where we expected them along the way and we had a wonderful trip. No real delays to speak of other than minor slowdowns for other trains to pass and one situation where we were waiting for a bridge to be ready for us to cross. We LOVED the exterior viewing platform too! The first day we arrive to Kamloops around 6:30 PM and the second day we were into Banff by 8:30 PM We've had a marvelous trip and can check this one off our bucket list

Our luggage was waiting in our hotel rooms for us in Kamloops. The next morning we boarded a bus to the train station leaving our luggage behind in our rooms. Our luggage was in sets on carts in the Vancouver train station The trip ended up taking 13 hours on the first day and 10 hours on the 2nd.

Located near the end of Chinatown, on Pender Street, I found this place back in the middle of 2006. When you go in, you see 7 - 8 big desk, one on each side. The funny thing is the sign above each desk, as they tell you what language the agent at that desk can speak. Most of the Asian language's are covered. I have to give credit to the one person that has helped me for all my travel needs for the past 4 years. Her name is Carrie, and I have recommended her to a number of my friends and collegues. She has always been helpful getting quotes for flights for me, and she also looks at other dates to try to save me money. All the quotes that I have been give are always after tax, and she has been able to beat online prices. Also the convience of dealing with payment over the phone, and emailing me the itenerary has been great. If you plan to book your next flight, give this place a try, I'm still using it to this day. Also if you are flying to Asia and you need a China Visa, they can help you do it for an extra $10, which is way better than you wasting your day (and your life away) at the China embassy trying to get one!

I would not recommend booking a destination wedding through Escapes. I had high hopes after…read moreattending a promotional event at the Vancouver Women's Club however that was the end of "wow" factor. Our agent was Susan who boasts lots of experience. We were happy and excited to working with her but it wasn't long before all that ended. We asked her for guidance on which area and resort to visit. Her attempt to inform us was vague and disorganized. She already had certain hotels that she wanted to recommend.... but we hadn't even decided on the geographical location yet. Then when it was time to talk about resorts, she pushed really hard on certain resorts... some that we had been to before (and wouldn't visit again). We did our own research and asked her for pricing and availability. It took weeks to hear back. And it was only partial information. I (the bride) couldn't stand it anymore and had to have my husband talk to her on the phone. We finally picked our own hotel with absolutely No help from Susan... but then the confusion and incompetence began with booking us and our guests. She could not figure out that we wanted to arrive two days early... "there is no package for 10 days" etc.... book separate flights then! We had to walk her through how to help us book into an unusual vacation length. Next was booking in our Guests. She was supposed to have a handle on this... "we wouldn't have to follow up with anyone" that was part of what they promised. But that didn't happen. Manu of our guest had difficultly getting payment or requests to her. And I guess she was afraid to pick up the phone in certain cases but in one instance she was going to charge the room to another guest who had the same last name... ya they are related, but that doesn't mean they are paying together! There are other examples of her inadequate service, but I won't go on. Overall, I was extremely disappointed in the service rendered at Escapes. They received quite a bit of $$ from our trip and none of it was deserved. I considered so many time foregoing our deposit and going elsewhere but I stuck it out. The important thing is that we made it through. The wedding and the vacation were amazing but this was certainly not because of escapes. The were a pain to work with and inhibited the creativity in the planning process... not recommended!
