A truly special arrangement for a night in a hotel instead of on the train. The route designer knows that every traveler on this train will not want to miss any beautiful views along the way. As a result, sleeping overnight in the hotel is the smartest and most correct decision. Thanks for the great video.

What an amazing experience you both had. To see you both excited about this trip makes me very happy. There’s no way you could fault this trip, the staff, the meals, snacks, cocktails, views, the service, especially the little things like not having to worry about your luggage & to have it “magically” be in your room all seem to be flawless & considerate. The meals looked so delicious, proud of you Jordan for having the Dungeness crab, that was one thing I couldn’t wait to have when we were in Canada a few months ago. As you know many years ago we took the Rocky Mountaineer from Whistler to Vancouver but unfortunately we weren’t in gold leaf as it was a shortish trip. This is where I fell in love with train travel. I think dad & I are going to have to go back to Canada & go on the Rocky Mountaineer again but in gold leaf next time & perhaps when it’s snowing. I think I’ll be watching this one again, absolutely loved it. Miss you both, love you, mum.xx 💕💕🚉

@@JordanandEmily helloooo!!! So, we had overall a GREAT time on the Rocky Mountaineer - we’re back in the UK now, after what has been the trip of a lifetime! The train is the most gloriously luxurious way to travel into the Rockies, we could not fault it one bit! There were only three things that marred our whole experience, none of which are the fault of the RM or its fantastic staff. In no particular order: 1) my brand new DSLR camera irrevocably packed up about one hour before reaching Kamloops 😭😭 I’d bought it only two days before, specifically for this trip, having weighed up the pros and cons of only having an iPhone with me. 2) We had a group of super noisy fellow passengers in our carriage, who did not stop talking/yelling literally the entire journey. We were in the same dining schedule as them too, which made the dining carriage almost unbearably loud. Being a non-stop train, we didn’t have the option to move to a different carriage, though I guess we could have asked once we were at Kamloops, but I was focussed on my busted camera to think of it. And 3), and this might sounds super pernickety, but on both days, it was several hours before we saw any real “scenery”… especially on day two, having left Kamloops at 7am, it was at least 1pm before we saw our first mountain, and between then and about 4pm, most of the spectacular views were obscured by trees. A couple of fellow travel losers said the same; we were like, “AITA for thinking this? Like, are we behaving like over-privileged children here?” Maybe we were, and we DEFINITELY didn’t want to sound like the worst Trip Adviser reviewers, but we really felt like the second day especially was unnecessarily long, given there’s not much to see. We figured it must be due to the length of time it takes to seat/feed everyone (utterly GORGEOUS food, btw), so I’m absolutely not going to count this as a negative thing against the RM team, who were utterly wonderful the entire time. So, our overall experience was that we were really, really glad to have had the experience, we feel incredibly lucky to have been able to afford to go (well, not actually “lucky” as such, my partner had an insurance payout after a serious health diagnosis, so… 🥺). We felt that, overall, it might have been just as great an adventure to have self-driven. Didn’t mean for this to be such a full review, couldn’t help myself 😂❤️

Would love to try this one day if the price goes down. I was lucky enough to do the Via trip from Ontario to Vancouver with my brother in 2014. We had the sleeper cabins for $750 CAD each. It is now around $6000 CAD for 2 people. I would recommend the Via trip instead as it has everything the Rocky Mountanieer has to offer with the addition of getting to sleep in the train - It literally rocks you sleep like you're an adult in a cradle. Some of the best sleep I've ever had. And a 4 day trip I will never forget. B.C was by far the best part. Ontario is also beautiful. Rest is flat and open!

Great review we are on the Rocky m week after next it looks as good if not better than the orient express for the cuisine.

Can you tell me how many days this trip was? what month you went (so I know if we will see snow) and were the seats assigned on the train in the gold leaf section? Thanks...I am trying to plan a trip for 2024

Sure thing! This was a 2 day, 1 night journey and we went on the first trip of the year which was in mid April!

What time of year did you go, please? As I like the idea the train wasn’t full!
@JordanandEmily2 ай бұрын
We were on the very first departure of the year! I'm not sure if that was why we got so lucky or whether it was because they were also training new staff on the train!

Does the RM accommodate wheelchair passengers? It would be a bucket list dream for me and my son. I used to work for a railroad.
@JordanandEmily Жыл бұрын
Hi there, they definitely do! Even if your in gold leaf there's an elevator for complete wheelchair access!

Definitely very beautiful - but is this an advert for the train, or did you pay yourself ? And what did you pay, if I may ask. Just curious…

Hi there! No worries at all! For this Journey we were lucky enough to partner with the Rocky mountaineer but we only ever parter with companies that allow us to say the truth! All of the excitement is just for the years of selling the journey to customers when I was a travel agent 😄
@vicbor5526 Жыл бұрын
Looks like a very expensive train,😲 glad you were able to afford it. Hope you got a wee discount from the tourist company? 😺
@JordanandEmily Жыл бұрын
Luckily we were able to partner with them for this journey but to be honest, if we were in a stage of life where we can pay out of pocket for things, the value of the Rocky Mountaineer is hard to beat! 😊
@julieeggleton9743 Жыл бұрын
What does it mean to partner? You guys do great with your budget but I was also wondering how 😮 you managed to afford it? It's a popular KZbin focus so I know you will have plenty of viewers and hopefully lots of new subscribers.
@JordanandEmily Жыл бұрын
Partering is different with every company but in this case they let us ride this departure in exchange for a video! (We couldn't believe it either) but we are eternally grateful that the Rocky mountaineer team saw enough potential in our videos to include us!

If i were to take this same trip, what would be the cost? Is this a round trip ride, or do you have to drive or fly back to where you started?
@JordanandEmily Жыл бұрын
Hello! It's point to point so you'd be fending for yourself in Banff if you wanted to book flights back! The cost is around $2100 CAD but the most up to date info would be on their website 😀 hope this helps!
