Canada By Design REVIEWS

"It was a dream come true, I am so happy! "

Joanne Massachusetts, United States

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

Amanda Central Travel

"There isn't anyone I would rather use for travel to Canada."

Emily - Tennessee, United States

"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."

Allen

"We booked the Luxury Winter Train Tour to the Canadian Rockies, and Kara was our travel designer. Our trip was absolutely perfect! All the arrangements were well coordinated, and everything went smoothly. The locations were beautiful, and the accommodations were perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks to Kara and Canada by Design for a wonderful adventure."

Maridy M

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

Christopher - Zurich, Switzerland

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

Kathleen Texas, United States

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

Colin M

"We just came back from our winter adventure 5 days/4 nights in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. We had such a nice time and everything was great."

Ina Dominican Republic

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

Hazel Scotland

"I would definitely recommend this to anyone - but especially to young parents with families. "

Annabelle - Delaware, United States

" 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!"

Julie Cass - Brisbane, Australia

"I don't know how I will ever thank you all at Canada by Design for making our trip of a lifetime!"

Ann - Australia

"The staff at Canada by Design could not have been more helpful and friendly."

Clive New South Wales, Australia

" I couldn't be more pleased with the trip! "

Marlene Schillinger - Virginia, United States

"Thanks very much to Jasmine for helping to organise our wonderful holiday from Vancouver across the Rockies to Calgary."

Graham Perth, Australia

"I highly recommend Canada by Design for Canadian travel. All I told them was, "design a Western Canada trip that goes where most people want to go." What they designed was perfect, beautifully planned, and beautifully executed. Every vendor they chose for excursions showed up on time, was pleasant and helpful, and did what they promised. Highlights were the seaplane from Vancouver to Victoria, the Rocky Mountaineer domed train from Vancouver to Jasper, and the Fairmont Gold hotel rooms."
