My wife and I were looking for a place to celebrate our 40th anniversary and settled on Alaska. That was the extent of our involvement. Byrd Adventures took care of every single detail, from train reservations to hotels. Worry free, from beginning to end.

I planned a train trip of a lifetime and that is exactly what it was. Toronto, then VIA Rail across the country, then Rocky Mountaineer from Banff to Vancouver. Any hiccup, I texted Donnetta and she had it handled in a flash.

A group trip on Rocky Mountaineer in Canada. Donnetta was always going the extra mile, thorough and meticulous about every detail, and she makes you feel like your trip is something special. Book with her.
