A brilliant personalised RV and cruise trip

Canadian affair organised a brilliant personalised trip- 12 nights in a RV from Calgary to Vancouver, 2 nights in Vancouver and then a cruise up to Alaska. They listened to our wishes and then organised a fantastic itinerary booking campsites, suggesting things to see and do along the way. Everything was smoothly organised, all advice and vouchers given well in advance

Good Morning,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your RV and cruise adventure—from Calgary to Vancouver and up to Alaska—was everything you hoped for. It’s fantastic to know that our team was able to tailor the itinerary to your preferences and that the planning, advice, and vouchers all arrived smoothly and on time.

Creating memorable, seamless travel experiences is what we strive for, and your kind words mean the world to us. We hope the breathtaking landscapes, unique stops, and the cruise left you with unforgettable memories.

We’d love to help you plan your next adventure whenever you’re ready.

Kind Regards,

Good experience but....

Overall we had a good experience - all the bookings/arrangements went according to plan and our requested itinerary was adhered to. It would have been even better if we could have dealt with the same person each time we phoned or emailed, but CA seemed able to pass on details well, so this is only a slight niggle.
Our main concern was one hotel (Irwins Mountain Inn, Banff) in particular was well below our expected standard and the standard of all the other hotels in our booking. We did have one night of our 3 night stay refunded and a complementary bottle of wine given by the management there. The room was small, in need of a good clean, communal areas very tired and generally in need of refurbishment. We wish we'd read reviews on Trip Advisor before accepting this hotel - similar complaints go back two or three years. Grateful for the refund, not interested in gaining any more recompense, but contacted CA on our return to highlight that dealing with this hotel does not enhance Canadian Affair's reputation but customer services did not seem interested. It would make us think twice before using CA again.

Just returned from a magical 15 days in Canada. The trip took me from Vancouver to Niagara Falls via the Rockies.
Not only did Canadian Affair manage all the macro and micro details in an outstanding way, they also managed the bankruptcy of the Travel Agent I had used to ensure a seamless service and experience for me.
If you are thinking of visiting Canada, look no where else than Canadian Affair.

First time that we’ve booked with Canadian Affair

First time that we’ve booked with Canadian Affair and their helpfulness and attention to detail throughout the booking process gave me a lot of confidence. Initially we corresponded via email (which was down to that being our preference). However, when we were nearer to finalising our booking I spoke to Rachel and she couldn’t have been more helpful. There were some issues with one hotel already being booked for our dates and Rachel gave us several alternatives and priced them to enable us to make a decision. We were always rung back within the timescale that we were told which, in our experience, has not always been the case with other companies.

Outstanding customer experience

I was lucky to have Mark C as my 1st port of call when booking a holiday with "Canadian Affair". He listened to what we needed and suggested alternatives to suit our needs without being "pushy" in any way regarding upgrade of hotels etc. His knowledge was immense which really helped me to know I had come to the right place to make my booking. Mark was so pleasant to talk to, his enthusiasm shone through - I feel that we couldn't have had a better pre-sales experience! We are delighted with the value for money offered by the company and look forward to our exciting flydrive holiday in Eastern Canada next year!

Delighted with Canadian Affair

Your booking agent Joanne Buckley was a fountain of knowledge when it came to organising our holiday to Nova Scotia. Nothing was too much trouble and Joanne was able to offer us alternative solutions when it came down to choosing the type of holiday that would best suit our needs. She is so enthusiastic and had so many ideas of where we should go and what to do. She has a vast experience with cruising and suggested this would be a more efficient way of seeing the main towns, We had a fantastic glitch free holiday. Thank you Joanne.

Rep couldn’t have done more for us, had he been a member of family.

You know when a delivery company asks did the delivery person go about and beyond? Well Mark, your representative when above and beyond in all aspects of reorganising our trip. His knowledge was first rate, his demeanour fabulous AND we felt heard and our needs more than just ‘met’ at every stage of the process.
