What Our Fellow Travelers Have to Say

Loved this vacation!

We just came back from our winter adventure 5 days/4 nights in Whitehorse, Yukon. We had such a nice time. Everything was great. We saw the Northern lights, which was very special to start into the New Year, connected with the universe. We went dog sledding and snowmobiling..all the tour guides were always on time, had knowledge and made an extra step to make the clients happy. Also the hotel is a beautiful place with nice, warm beds. !!

I couldn't be more pleased with the trip!

My family recently completed the 7-day self-drive tour of Western Canada. Jennifer B. was absolutely fantastic helping me figure out how we wanted to customize our trip and making suggestions. She was always so patient with my many questions, too! The lodgings that this trip placed us at were more than wonderful. We particularly liked Deer Lodge at Lake Louise. It is a beautiful historic lodge, just a few minutes walk from the Fairmount. All aspects of the tour were problem-free, and I really feel that the cost of the tour was very reasonable, especially for the quality experience we had. I highly recommend Jennifer and Canada by Design to anyone who wants to visit Western Canada!!

It was a dream come true - I am so happy!

It was a dream come true. I am so happy! Thank you so much for putting this together for us! The Northern Tales guides were awesome! Helpful and so passionate about what they do, we loved them all! It was fantastic! The hotel in Vancouver was incredible ! They were so friendly and helpful to us weary travellers! We did the Capilano Suspension Bridge and then enjoyed the view and some wine & tapas from a very nice waterfront hotel!

My clients and myself most definitely benefited from working with Canada By Design!

My clients requested a self drive travel itinerary in Halifax with many different stops and Canada By Design offered a great itinerary and great rate!

Cannot recommend Canada By Design enough and will definitely be looking for more tours with them in the future.

We booked a trip to see the northern lights in Whitehorse and couldn't be happier with the experience. Francesca was great with answering any questions we had and getting everything set up so we could have such an amazing experience, complete with different activities in the day, and a stunning aurora viewing area by night. We couldn't have asked for a better time checking off a bucket list item of ours.

A true 5-star++ boutique experience

I can’t say enough my stay. . Incredible service, good food, quiet, serene and just a joy. The staff was as good as anywhere (and might have even topped it). Now that I’ve had a taste of 5-star life, I will never go back.

A great tour operator

Canada By Design proved to be a great tour operator. Every stop, every transfer, and every destination proved to be perfect. Most impressive: all of our transfers were right on time. We may have to do this again and stay more than 4 days.

Destinations, itinerary and accommodation was all well thought out and we had a very memorable time. I'd happily use Canada by Design again.

We just returned from a trip around Newfoundland. Destinations, itinerary and accommodation was all well thought out and we had a very memorable time. Thank you Jules! I'd happily use Canada by Design again.

The service we received during our booking process and again on our trip was second to none.

We met up with two friends that live in BC and departed Vancouver 19 Sept 2017 / 21 Sept 2017 on the Basic Aurora Borealis Package (3days/2nights). The staff at Canada by Design could not have been more helpful and friendly.

We had an amazing stay. Everything went perfectly!

The marine specialists on the Prince of Whales boat were amazing — smart, passionate — and we had a day to remember. Maybe because of the gray weather, we hit the jackpot. We saw 20 orcas, yes 20! Then all of a sudden, a pod of humpback whales appeared behind the orcas.
