Your tailor-made holiday will be as unique as you are. These itineraries are just a starting point, a bit of inspiration to show what’s possible. Your own trip all starts with a conversation with one of our Canada experts, who’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and design the perfect holiday to match.
This classic itinerary takes you into the heart of the majestic Rocky Mountains. Begin with a full day to explore vibrant Vancouver, then embark on a stunning two-day rail journey to Jasper, perched right at the top end of the Rockies. Spend some time sightseeing in Jasper, then explore the iconic Icefields Parkway – often considered one of the most scenic drives in Canada. Your journey continues to Banff, where you’ll have a full day to explore before flying home from Calgary. We've designed this itinerary to be perfect if you'd prefer not to drive while in Canada.
Choose between the luxurious Rocky Mountaineer train or the Via Rail Canadian service for your journey from Vancouver to Jasper. Each offers a unique experience, chat to us for a little more information on the differences between the two. It's what we're here for!

Our recent trip to Canada was an adventure of a lifetime and our experience was enhanced by the faultless planning by Paul Turner. His thorough organisation and assistance throughout made our time away so relaxed and enjoyable and we are truly grateful.

First class. This was the 2nd time I’ve used Holiday Architects - they are absolutely excellent. We have just returned from a perfect trip to Canada to travel and visit friends which Paul Turner brought together excellently.

We choose Holiday Architects so we have a chance to work with an expert on an region, who will combine their knowledge with listening to what we enjoy and are hoping to get out of a particular holiday. Paul really delivered on a wonderful trip to Canada for us this autumn. We had a brilliant balance between exploring cities and their culture and architecture, with some great opportunities to see beautiful fall landscapes and eat some amazing food thrown in for good measure. Highly recommended.

This time we embarked on a fly/drive tour around the west of Canada and the holiday build was excellent. Our point of contact was Paul Turner. We received an initial itinerary based on Paul's local knowledge and experience, and then over 3-4 phone calls, we honed it down in detail to our requirements and his recommendations. The actual holiday was excellent, everything went as planned with no hiccups. Canada is like the Lake District on steroids and will blow you away, the roads are great to drive on and very well signed. The people very friendly and accommodating. From my experience Holiday Architects have got the right model, they take the stress and time out of a lot of the planning, have excellent customer care, great follow up and very flexible with a budget you set them. Try them and I think you will agree.
