My girlfriend surprised me with this trip and I love train rides. The only thing was that,…read morealthough the ride itself was cool, the scenery was bad. You drive about 4 miles down the track and although you get to see the bay nearby, you don't get to see a lot beyond a good portion of a Navy base, a hazardous materials mound (yes, seriously), and a lot of trees. We were kind of disappointed when the train suddenly stopped and we went in reverse back towards the pickup/drop off point. Don't know what we expected, but we had hoped the scenery was a lot more than what it was. Weird place to just "stop" in the midst of trees and go back. If you are looking for something to do to kill a few hours, this will fit the bit. It's very gingerly narrated, so if you have kids, they might be bored. Heck, even if you don't have kids, you might be bored too. But it's affordable.

Amtrak Vacations - The Booking Experience…read more First, it's useful to recognize how best to organize travel on Amtrak. To this point, I've probably booked more than 100 rail trips over the past 40 years. My wife and our three children made repeated trips from Kansas City to Chicago, Chicago to Denver, Chicago to New Orleans, Fairbanks to Mt. Denali, and from D.C. to my family home in southern Connecticut. For the longer trips, we'd book sleeper cars and treat ourselves to first class dining and accommodation services, most notably on Amtrak's storied City of New Orleans. Now that I'm retired and travel alone, I wanted to push the Amtrak limits in a coast-to-coast trip from Washington, D.C.'s Union Station to the Canadian northwest, ending in Jasper, then Banff, and then Calgary. So, I started sniffing around the internet for opportunities on Amtrak, favoring segments in a private sleeping car. Up to now I have booked all my Amtrak trips the way I booked all of my polar expeditions (including four Arctic expeditions and two Antarctic expeditions, all on Quark Expeditions): I would deal exclusively and directly with the operator Quark and its travel consultants. For the cross-country trip on Amtrak, however, I looked at all of the moving parts and decided to respond to the invitation I received after I submitted an inquiry into cross-country Amtrak trips. Those moving parts included figuring out which trains would travel to my intended destinations, identifying hotels that could accommodate me on my way, and booking excursions available to rail passengers along my route. Within an hour of sending my inquiry I got a response from Amtrak Vacations and its representative, Kevin Guadagnoli. Amtrak Vacations is not the same as Amtrak: working with Railbookers, a travel agency that specializes in creating customizable train vacation packages, Amtrak Vacations makes its mark by offering experienced advisors who have direct booking access to rail travel throughout North America (so it includes both U.S. and Canadian rail services). Kevin was a great listener: he was low-key, patient, empathetic, and exceptionally well-versed in what can be a confusing Venn-diagram of services and lodgings that work in conjunction with the steel rails. I figured I was asking a lot; and I recognize now that I seriously underestimated the complexity of options available to rail travelers. Kevin made the itinerary-building part of this trip seamless, probably because he was working tirelessly behind the scenes to assemble the trip I had in mind. Once we established the goal of my trip (my being in Canada for the first week of July), we spent about an hour on the phone connecting a series of dots: I asked for a sleeper accommodation throughout the trip; done. Kevin knew schedules and partners - this became important because the trip included nights off the train - so we needed hotel options - and local excursions that the trip would allow for. It's clear from the results that Kevin knew what he was doing. He had some particular challenges that I was clueless about, most notably the fact that Seattle and Vancouver both were host cities for the 2026 World Cup. This likely drove up the cost of accommodations - indeed, in one instance a perfect hotel would work but only if I was able to stay for two nights. Kevin got the okay from me to make this change, and within a day he built an itinerary unlike any other, calling it The Canadian Rockies by Rail - June 2026. The itinerary was custom-built around my goals. I would depart Washington D.C.'s Union Station at 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 28, 2026, in a roomette bound for Chicago's Union Station. The train would arrive in Seattle on July 1, and head to Vancouver, B.C. (on a coach seat) departing at 1800 and arriving at 2200. There Kevin booked me a room at the Fairmont Waterfront and scored a 48-hour hop-on hop-off tour bus that I could use for the two days I will be staying in Vancouver. From Vancouver the sleeper car will take me to Jasper, where I will spend July 4 and 5 at the Crimson Jasper. I'll be taking the Icefields Parkway Discovery Tour from Jasper to Banff and spend the next two nights at the Hotel Canoe & Suites, where I'll take a Mountains, Lakes & Waterfalls tour in and around Banff. On the last day of my itinerary, I'll board a one-way shuttle from Banff, ending at the Marriott on site at the Calgary Airport. I studied travel insurance options (typically I'll insure my trips with Crum & Forster's Travel Insured International) and elected to take Kevin's recommendation for trip coverage through TripMate, underwritten by General Global Assistance ($1,089). Including this coverage, the total invoice for all travel, including rail, insurance, lodging, and excursions, was $12,234.85. My thanks to Amtrak Vacations, Kevin Guadagnoli, Railbooker's transfer-point person, and Amtrak!

Here today! Logan…read moreAirport employees have an option to park here and Academy Buses are contracted to shuttle them from Wonderland Station to Logan Airport. It's one of Massport bus station as well as a commuter train station. The reason I say MAYBE to recommending this business is sometimes you have no other options but to frequent this location. Logan Boston Airport contracted Academy Bus company after 2 other companies failed to provide Standard of Care Service and Failures To Meet EXPECTATIONS so they lost the contract. Being that 2 other companies lost work, the other bus companies DON'T like the "new kids" on the block so they make our jobs hard/frustrating. Allow me to explain the experiences we as "new kids" on the block encounter. The losers would not be courteous to us in the airport such as allow us to merge in, merge out, block us in while picking up or dropping off employees, blow, middle finger us and at Wonderland WE better behave ourselves otherwise they would report us to our company for the littlest misdeed. 99 percent of the time it's innocent/a misunderstanding but our company would get on us because Massport has the power to ban our company outta there which with enough documentation could cause Academy the contract. Let me tell the people on my platform something, EVERYTHING has a domino effect whether good or bad. One thing I know for sure, when Lady Karma comes to collect/pay out YA ASS BETTER BE LIVING RIGHT. Here's what happened to me, I keep saying I DON'T BE MAKING THESE THINGS UP! I was new on the shift assignment, I pulled up and the company "security guard/supervisor" was blocking the section we are allotted to pickup/drop off. Now because I'm customer service oriented, ESPECIALLY being an Elite Yelper/blogger/complainer/enthusiast/secret shopper, I'm not a hypocrite when it comes to handling my business and providing my customers with the best customer experience I can. It's raining this particular night and PAUL D with ACADEMY BUS was blocking where we drivers/face of the company need to do our job DROP and PICK simple. I promise on my deceased dog Braylon (oh how I miss my bestfriend), I didn't know he's been behaving this stupidly prior to my joining the company. I innocently asked him a very valid question "Paul, you know your in the way, we pickup here?" Paul: "I know, pull in behind me!" Just as we're talking, another one of our buses comes to drop off and because we know the Masstransit guys get irate with us, she innocently pulls in and leaves her tail swing out, she didn't want to pull up further because ITS NOT OUR DESIGNATED SECTION. As she's unloading, a Masstransport bus arrives WE'VE literally sandwiched him and his passengers in, those passengers who more than likely worked 2 jobs an average of 16 hour work day, wanna get off da dam bus! Here the "New Kids" on the preventing from SAFETY letting him SAFELY letting his passengers off the bus. HERE IS THE SITUATION I'm talking about! Paul goes over to the driver and gets on her because she should have pulled all the way up along side the curb to drop off. Never minding WE have been warned KEEP OUTTA Masstransport way! Same night, it starts raining and passengers are forced to load the buses in the rain because Paul D, in his ego refuses to move his van somewhere/anywhere else, ITS A BUS RAMP dude! Ok, from what Mike Smith (terminal manager) told me, the Government Contract required the company to hire Paul D to "Supervise the drivers", be "Security detail" and be available for the airport employees because the crime rate is HIGH at the Wonderland MBTA Station. When I'm staged waiting on my passengers, I stand at my bus door, twice I was harassed/solicited all while Paul D was sleeping in the van/in plane site! One night a stocky, highly intoxicated Colombian dude (probably American Most Wanted)with a backpack tried to solicit/ harassed me, an employee got his car broken another lady lost her keys and tried to wake Paul up and report the incident but she couldn't because Paul was catch up on his beauty sleep. The Colombian guy thought about my rejection and waited on my return, I wasn't standing outside on his return but was dropping off 3 ladies and he approached them as they were exiting my bus. Where was Paul D on each of these several incidents? Sleeping in the van/in the way/in the bus loading zone after working his other job, he was exhausted. I know Paul's job ego went and tattled on me because I ignored him because he's a bonafide IDIOT. How can I have an intelligent conversation with an idiot? How can someone that doesn't respect/do his own job/respect others ESPECIALLY an employee that makes the company money tell me my tie is crooked? Be respectful and you'll get respect. No I do not recommend this Boston Station because it's dangerous and Massachusetts does not have a concealed hand gun law, you better watch your surroundings here and don't look for Paul to assist. Here today! Gone tomorrow!
