We chose the "Glacier Dome" option and were well impressed. From the moment we boarded the train, we were in awe of both the level of the the service and the panoramic views. We wondered if we had made the right choice with our specific tour company, as the return journey was by mini coach rather than the luxurious coaches we had been on with a competing company. But the personality and slightly off the wall style of the driver soon overcame that. This is an experience we want to repeat by taking one of the longer train journeys next time.

We chose the Glacier Dome option for this tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. The views from the train were stunning the whole way, and the staff even gave some interesting commentary along the way. Once in Whistler, we chose to do the optional sightseeing flight which I highly recommend! It gives you a fantastic view over the Whistler Blackcomb Mountains, as well as surrounding glaciers and stunning glacier-fed lakes. On the drive back home, the tour guide was very informative and accommodating to people's requests for photo stops, and even helped to organize show tickets for that evening for a couple onboard!

The scenery was fabulous and your staff was informative, friendly and at times very entertaining. The ride was comfortable in the first class section but an overhead bin would have been nice.

We chose the domed train to Whistler. Unfortunately, there had been an accident on the highway, and a truck had rolled down towards the track. We sat on the track for close to three hours, but the staff of the train was incredibly accommodating, and the train management worked very hard to keep us informed. They turned what could have been a disaster into a very pleasant experience.
