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.
