What an amazing trip! We ticked so many things off our bucket list. Every day was a jam packed adventure! We got to see Mother Nature at its best. Bears, elks, eagles, salmon, long horned sheep, and this list goes on. We got to visit so many wild and wonderful towns all so different to one another. Our tour guide Ben Direen was fantastic as was our driver Big Mike. The 7 day cruise to Alaska was a nice way to finish the trip with some time to chill out as well as options for adventure on shore....read more First time with Travelmarvel and I’ll definitely be travelling with them again. I was very impressed with their service.

We've just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable Travelmarvel Reflections tour of Western Canada. Going early June allowed us to still see quite a bit of snow, especially on top of the mountains in Whistler. We were so lucky with the weather (warm) with just a bit of rain one night.
Even though we were a big group of 48 we all got along well. On the bus component our roller blading tour director Roneil was friendly and well organised, as was our delightful coach driver...read more Lana. Accommodation was of a high standard, though Kamloops was somewhat basic - our favourite being the log cabins at Blue River.
The Rocky Mountaineer was a delightful experience, we were certainly fed really well. The cruise to Alaska was great with the highlight being Glacier Bay. We are pleased we chose Reflections and would gladly recommend it to our friends. Hannah (Global Journeys) we once again appreciate how efficient you have been in organising our trip and promptly answering any questions.

Firstly let me say this has been my second booking with Global Journeys and I cannot fault them. Every email enquiry was answered promptly and to my satisfaction, took some worry out of our journey before we left home. Thanks Georgie.
Our tour from coach to train to ship went smoothly, well organised and I never felt anxious about the next step. I have travelled with other companies including Scenic and Insight and would recommend Travelmarvel along with them. I was...read more initially worried about the amount of free time but it really worked with this tour and was possibly needed especially as we were travelling with 2 other couples.
We booked the helicopter and dog sled via Juneau and the crab feast and lumberjack show via Ketchikan... both excellent. Highly recommend going Gold Leaf on the Rocky Mountaineer, the glass roof makes for excellent viewing, the fine dining experience is better than pulling a tray down in front of your seat. Excellent service but patience is required. I would also recommend that on day 1 from Banff you eat before you board or take a snack because breakfast was 10.30 for us and we were first seating.
Accommodation was great, and always well located. Funny enough the only night we went 'umph' was at Lake Louise a premier hotel, great location but the room was not as good as we had through the rest of the tour. Would also advise if you do the same tour as we did to have alternate plans for the last day, disembarked at 9.30 to rain so really couldn’t do much more than coffee shop hop until coach trip to the airport at 7.30pm. Had it been fine we would have gone to Capillano or walked around Stanly Park, that last day was arduous.

This was an awesome trip. Would definitely book with Global Journeys & Travelmarvel again. Hard to pick a favourite but our helicopter trip in Juneau to the Glacier and dog sled ride would be close to be the best.

Our trip was great, the coach portion was tiring with several early mornings. We have not done pre-organised tours such as this before so whilst all the details were taken care of for us it felt a bit rushed at times with little free time. The days on the Rocky Mountaineer were very long due to delays with freight trains but could not believe the generosity of the refund we received! Our tour guide, Willo was extremely knowledgeable and competent, as was the driver Claude. ...read more
We had stress at the domestic airport at Melbourne as staff are unable to "read" the electronically attached ETA. As I couldn't find a hard copy of my husband's we missed our flight and had to postpone our flight to the next day. The importance of having a hard copy of this needs to be emphasized to future travelers or improved scanning procedures for staff at domestic airports.
When trying to contact Travelmarvel for assistance at the airport early on the day I'd intended departure there was no answer from the assistance line but we were referred to ring during office hours which was useless to us for this early flight. Once contested during office hours the staff were helpful in making the changes to our flights for the next day. Luckily we had a day pre-tour so we didn't miss the start but we did have an extra night booked at Victoria that was not needed.
