Having just completed the quest for the bay snowmobile tour, I can only say that it was nothing short of amazing! Everything that was done by Jayde including communication was great and the execution of the trip by Remi and Claude was flawless. No disappointments at all and everything exceeded expectations. Totally worth every cent.
Właściwie to mogę tylko napisać, że wycieczka nie doszła do skutku, bo nie dogadaliśmy się. Opis i cena są bardzo zachęcające, ale obsługa domaga się podania danych karty za pomocą mejla lub telefonu (w tym danych wrażliwych jak kod CVV/CVC). Prośba o udostępnienie płatności Paypalem (lub tego typu płatnością online) została odrzucona, w zamian zaproponowano mi płatności czekami (w 2024). Patrząc na to, może i lepiej, że mi anulowali wycieczkę, bo nie wiem czy dane mojej karty (i osobowe) są tu należycie chronione.

We had a great time on the Buggies and Bears trip in early Nov 2022. The train was comfortable, meals quite good, and the camaradery with the tour leaders and other passengers was outstanding. We enjoyed a very busy 3 days in Churchill, seeing all the sights from a warm bus and the bears from the tundra buggy. Meals in Churchill were not fancy, but tasty and wholesome with fresh salads-- even though all produce has to come a long way in November. We enjoyed meeting some of the people who live and work in Churchill and would be happy to go again with Brent and Brenda to see the town again!
Good local tours. Had nice experience though bears were taking nap when we arrived.
I just completed a polar bear tour with this company and was very disappointed. It started off with a two hour delay allegedly because the contracted flight attendant did not show up. This time was not made up to the tour group. There was also considerable time wasted on the tour and very poor communication. I had wanted to go see polar bears for years and feel that this company served our group very poorly. There were bears on the tour that the driver could have stopped and allowed the group to see but he made excuses as to why he couldn’t. In discussion with other tourists it is estimated that we spent approximately one and a half hours on the tundra viewing bears. It was our understanding based on the itinerary that we would have at least four hours viewing bears.

My husband (Gordon) and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip, leaving Winnipeg on Sept. 23 to Sept. 28, 2022. We met great people on the bus, saw fantastic scenery, enjoyed great food and enjoyed the stops along the way. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country as Canada. A big appreciative Thank You to Daryl and Brent Adair, and our bus driver - Milton - for taking care of all of us so well and ensuring that we all enjoyed our trip.

Had the opportunity to take in. Polar bear tour with Frontiers North. Best word to explain it is WOW!!! Great service, very friendly and very knowledgeable staff. To see these majestic animals in their natural environment is something you will remember forever! A trip everyone should experience.

Made the best of the trip.The tour operator has no customer service skills. When concerns were raised...and there were several his immediate response was to place blam/responsibility on other service providers, which I could understand if he was offering to assist with the concern as he was the tour owner/operator. There are multiple reasons why I would not recommend this company but my top 3 are the owner/operator has no customer service skills had often blamed the guest and provider, the trip was poor value and poor quality (meals and transportation) for the cost. The owner/operator is very unresponsive to manage concerns complaints about issues that are his responsibility. We are still pending financial reimbursement from our trip. No contact or follow-up offered or provided. Overall Churchill is a great trip my recommendation is to look around for other tour providers.

We had a wonderful day on our bear tour. It was great to have the smaller number of people on the tour. Our driver Luke was very pleasant and knowledgeable and funny. We were lucky to have the weather cooperate as well as the bears.
Loved it !!
Just got back from Belugas in Churchill. Had a great time. The train was quite late getting into Churchill, but that was the railways fault as there was not a replacement crew available and our engineers had to take mandatory rest period. The meals on train were very good. When we arrived the bus was there to take us to hotel. We had to use some of our free time to do a couple of local tours in town and really saw almost everything fairly easily. We were supposed to go on a boreal forest walk but it was raining fairly heavily so we misse Kimd that but we were kept busy on a bus tour outside the townsite. The hotel in Churchill was more than adequate although the meals were average at best. If one takes the time and chats to folks you can meet some. Very cool nteresting people with wonderful stories. We saw Belugas in harbour, went to Fort Prince of Wales,. took in the missile range, toured a wonderful museum of native art and history, went to Cape Merry, got up close to the grain terminal in the Port and even watched the second grain shipment arrive. Our tour guide did his best to make sure we saw and experienced everything we wanted. There were things beyond his control and our group just rolled with it and we had a great time. This tour had several 80+ year olds, a couple of other medical issues including me with a broken heel(2weeks post injury) and on a foot powered scooter. There were a couple of places I couldn't scoot into (got pushed to the Fort in a tundra wheel chair), but I did all the tours including getting on and off the boat. Would recommend this tour, even if you have a gimpy leg!

Terrible company. I wish I could give a zero star review. My parents (both seniors) just returned from the ‘Fall in the Canadian Mountains’ trip. Once the payment was made, the company would not return any calls or emails about trip details until we got a paralegal involved.

Accommodations off the train were at the worst possible hotels with terrible service, unsafe bathrooms (no bath mats, no handles to get in/out of baths - absolutely unsuitable for seniors), and rooms far from the entrance where baggage had to be carried up two flights of stairs. In one hotel, the only clothing storage was a hanger dangling from a nail on the wall. The front desk told my Dad that most guests bring their own hangars. What??

One excursion was a 90-minute bus ride each way to the Columbia Icefield for an all-terrain vehicle tour, which WASN’T EVEN RUNNING that day. Even though this excursion was included in the cost of the tour, no refund was given to the tour participants.

Meals served by the tour organizer were awful, including a frozen meatball, macaroni and corn dinner WHICH WAS STILL FROZEN. My parents paid a lot of money for an absolutely garbage trip. Every aspect of the trip’s organization was mishandled and managed by complete amateurs.

One star is too much for this company. Rail Travel tours should not be in business and definitely not serving seniors. The customer service was a disgrace, poorly organized and everything was on the cheap!. Hotel rooms were booked on the wrong dates by the company and in accommodations that would barely make a 1 star rating as they were UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Forcing the seniors to go from one hotel to another in the same town because they didn't book it ahead of time or forgot to book it. Over-priced and over 95% of the travelers on our trip from Winnipeg to Prince George were very dissatisfied. It was sold to the passengers as at least a 4 star trip but it was low budget all the way for a very high price. No company should be allowed to be in business especially when they treat seniors so poorly.
Great local tours. Highly recommend!!!

This tour company should be avoided. The trip was poorly organized. While the trip from Winnipeg to Melville was nice as we were in the dome car, VIA does not own its own track. There can be delays as the passenger train waits for freight trains to pass. We were only 10 minutes late getting to Melville but we had to take the bus back to Winnipeg as the train was going to be hours behind schedule. The Classic Inn in Melville is a dump. There are no smoke detectors. See photo. The food was terrible. Except for the Yorkton Museum, the other museums were mediocre at best. The tour leader was reluctant to share information on the trip home. He actually wanted to have stops on the way home as the bus would arrive before the scheduled arrival of the train. This was an expensive, disappointing tour.

Although some of the historical sites we visited were worthwhile, the overall trip (Superior Colours) was led by amateurs and was a big disappointment. I would never recommend this one to anyone!
