Great trip to Canada and Alaska 4 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2023
We have just returned from our trip to the Canadian Rockies and Alaskan Inner Passage cruise. It was amazing and met all our expectations. A must do for everyone if possible.
The Rockies and Alaska 4 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2023
Great trip booked by Georgie Walpole. Enjoy booking with Georgie and Global Journeys. Both Western Canada and Alaska are so beautiful. Weather was great. Only rained for less than one hour for the whole trip. I will definitely book future tours with Travelmarvel. No complaints about the tour director, coach driver and cruise liaison - all great and ...read more very helpful and accommodating. Only issue is the cruise ship - Volendam cabins require updating. Cabin carpets are old and dirty.
Such a wonderful holiday more than we imagined.   0 , VIC, Australia, May 2023
Our tour was packed with adventure. So much to see and do. The accommodation was was very nice. Breakfast s was delicious. The only let down was when we arrived at Victoria our first day, there was no one to greet us . So l had to arrange a taxi.
Our bus driver Gil was very accommodating. Yes we would travel again with Travelmarvel and you Georgie ...read more Walpole were very helpful while we were filling in our paperwork. Thank you again for your patience. We have some beautiful and amazing memories of our holiday adventure.
Fantastic tour of Canada And Alaska   0 , VIC, Australia, May 2023
Our trip to Canada and Alaska with Travelmarvel was fantastic. Jaqi our group leader was great, so knowledgeable and lots of fun. Our group of 40 were all lovely and fun to be with. Everything was just perfect. There was so much to do and experience. The food was wonderful, the Canadian people are so happy and friendly. I can honestly recommend this ...read more trip. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole trip ran so smoothly. Thank you Global Journeys and Georgie for organising it all for us.
Tour and cruise of Canada and Alaska. 1 , NSW, Australia, Aug 2022
Having arrived home from our fantastic Canada & Alaska tour I have to say it was hassle free and the scenery was every pic a postcard. Great accommodation throughout and always breakfast, but did feel there were too many extras to pay for, so many added tours and meals. The tours of course are optional and your choice.

Could not fault Dale our tour ...read more leader, she was fantastic, always there to help, great stories and knowledge. Our cabin and meals on the cruise were excellent. The crew so friendly and hard working and the ship always being cleaned. Unfortunately we missed our dog-sledding tour through bad weather, no ones fault. We did add a tour in Juneau and did feel it was not at all value for money, very overrated - an old cannery and totem poles with a pure chance sighting of a whale - would not go there. The overall trip was excellent but if you are on a budget it can be pricey.
Tick off the bucket list!   3 , WA, Australia, Aug 2019
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 ...read more 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. First time with Travelmarvel and I’ll definitely be travelling with them again. I was very impressed with their service.
