What Our Fellow Travelers Have to Say

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.

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.

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!

I don't know how I will ever thank you all at Canada by Design for everything you did for us and making a trip of a life time surpass our wildest expectations!

We LOVED Canada and look forward to coming back and doing the same route in the spring or autumn. In fact we would even consider doing it again in winter as it was so stunningly beautiful. After booking the trip and advising the date we wanted, I was very impressed with Karen's professionalism and prompt service, nothing was too much trouble. When we requested things from her, all the information given to us was accurate and up to date.

Everything ran like clock work, the activities we did were extremely well organised, informative and above all fantastically enjoyable.

We have just returned from a Yukon / Alaska Trip followed by 6 nights travelling on the Mountaineer Train in Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff. We had a fantastic time. We cannot thank everyone enough for their professionalism and organizational skills. To top everything off we saw the most amazing display of the Northern Lights, something I will never forget.......we certainly will be back.

Canada by Design has created my clients remarkable experiences with their families.

Every tour and detail was perfect for my families that I have traveling to Canada. There isn't anyone I would rather use for travel to Canada.

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.

We would highly recommend Jennifer and Canada by Design for all of your travel needs. We count ourselves very lucky that we found this 5-star team of travel experts!

We chose Canada by Design in favor of a travel company in our own country, as we thought that the local experience would give us a better holiday. How right we were! We also saved ourselves a lot of money, as Jennifer's quote was much less expensive than the quote we received in Australia. We liaised with Jennifer by email many months before our trip, to organize our once-in-a-lifetime Christmas Snow Train adventure from Vancouver through Jasper, Lake Louise, Banff and, finally, Calgary. Jennifer and her colleagues provided us with an excellent standard of service, always prompt, friendly and efficient. All accommodation was of a high quality, with The Fairmont Castle at Banff being outstanding. We felt like we were living in a fairy-tale with the amazing scenery that we encountered all along the way. When we first arrived in Vancouver, we headed directly to the Canada by Design office because we wanted to meet Jennifer in person. We were given a tour of the office and greeted by the whole team. Jennifer continued to work for us during this meeting, by offering suggestions for our time in Vancouver before our train departed.

This was an A++ experience! I'll definitely use Canada by Design for our next trip to Canada.

Paulina booked a week long self drive tour of Nova Scotia for my family. This was so easy to arrange. I just told her what we wanted to do and the time frame we had. She got back to me within a day with an outline of what she had arranged and shortly after that, I had a finalized tour. The hotels were outstanding and she also included maps and a guide book that helped us while we were in Nova Scotia. The price was very reasonable for the tour. This was an A++ experience and I'll definitely use Canada by Design for our next trip to Canada.
