“I've just booked for a Canada trip with an Alaska cruise in 2027. Hannah was great to work with and seemed as excited as me about my trip! She showed amazing patience as I micromanaged every minute of the trip and was always fully responsive as if I was the only person she was dealing with. Looking forward to sharing my pictures next year!”

“David and I had the most fantastic adventure thanks to Adla. Everything went like clockwork. One of the most fantastic experiences we have had and we are world travellers, having been around the world several times. Highly recommended. We have talked about nothing else since our return. Nothing was left to chance and it all worked so well. Accommodation was excellent in Canada. Everyone should take a trip on the rocky mountaineer, what an experience ! The cruise around Alaska was fantastic, the wildlife and scenery unbelievable. Thank you once again for an unbelievable experience.”

“This the first time i used a travel agent to help build my holiday. Luckily i contacted Brian who put together an itinerary for me. We are going to Vancouver, banff and Calgary. We are also booked on the rocky mountineer between Vancouver and banff. We went back with some alternative hotels and nothing was too much trouble a new quote was emailed over quickly. Thanks again to Brian who I will use again. 5 star.”

“I can not thank Adla enough for putting together our once in a life time trip, Helpful doesn’t even cover it, she has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish and even after the holiday had finished, Nothing was too much trouble for her and she did everything possible to make it a dream vacation , her wealth of knowledge and experience were invaluable. We traveled to Calgary then onto Banff followed by the Rocky Mountaineer, into Vancouver then Toronto and Niagra falls. Everything ran like clockwork. We wil 100 % ask Adla to plan our next vacation, we can’t thank her enough, she was brilliant and so was the holiday , thank you.”

“We worked with Adla in Autumn 2025 to put together our bucket-list holiday for early summer of this year. She was incredibly knowledgeable and worked through several iterations of our itinerary to come up with a fabulous package for us. We travelled through Seattle onto an Alaskan cruise with Oceania into Vancouver and onward to the Rockies on the Rocky Mountaineer. We had some incredible experiences from whale watching, bear spotting, helicopter dog-sledding and a float-plane tour. The excursions recommended by Adla were great and all of the logistics and bookings worked exactly as they should. Thanks again Adla, we made some fantastic memories and would not hesitate to recommend Canada Travel Specialists and we will probably be back for more in the future.”

“Adla has put together an excellent itinerary for us using her in-depth knowledge including sharing advice from her own experiences on the centres we plan to visit. Her guidance also covered all the supporting requirements to get the most out of travel. If our multi centre trip turns out to match the comprehensive planning discussed it will be an excellent holiday.”

“Fantastic service in tailoring and booking our holiday with Adla - so helpful and communication has been brilliant so far, even a separate phone call to let us know of a small $6 increase on our hire car. If the holiday is as good as the customer service I'm sure we are in for a treat!”

“I cannot praise Brian Walker highly enough. Once more, he has made the booking of our Canadian trip effortless. His knowledge is extensive and nothing is too much bother. He is extremely professional, gives valuable advice when asked and deals with everything promptly and efficiently. Although all communication has been by either email or telephone, Brian is a friendly voice on the other end of the line. Although our trip is several months away, I have every confidence that it will be as well organised and smooth as on the last occasion he assisted us.”

“We have recently got home from a fantastic holiday in Canada. Adla was recommended to me by a family member. In August 2025 I rang her with a list of what we wanted to do and a list of our limitations, such as my recent liver transplant and my husband's blindness. Adla came up with an itinerary that suited us. We were independent with some free time but I didn't have to do all the work. Tours and transport links were organised. Hotels in Vancouver and Banff were great. The Rocky Mountaineer was fantastic. Banff was an adventure. We had such a good time, we have just booked with Adla for a return trip next year. Jasper here we come! As before trips are booked to accommodate what we want to do, allowing for our limitations. Thank you Adla, you have excellent knowledge combined with thought and understanding.”

“We have just returned from an amazing holiday on the Rocky Mountaineer. It was wonderful. Adla's knowledge, advice, efficiency and patience was fundamental in getting the itinerary sorted out and everything went perfectly, three plane trips, four hotels, two excursions and a wonderful train trip all within eight days worked wonderfully. Thank you Adla . The icing on the cake was that the train started off from Banff in the snow( in June) and we saw Grizzly and Black bears”

“We could not have been happier with the customer service provided by Barrhead Travel and Michelle in particular. They arranged a superb itinerary across Canada which included the Rocky Mountaineer experience and finished with a super Alaskan cruise. We were genuinely surprised at the value of the holiday considering everything it included. We could not fault the hotels chosen,both the Sheraton hotels were great and the hotel in Banff was so picturesque with amazing views to the mountains. The Rocky Mountaineer provided an exceptional experience that we will never forget. It was a holiday of a lifetime and we are very grateful to Michelle and Barrhead for arranging everything ,including our request to upgrade flights. I have already recommended Barrhead Travel to friends and colleagues looking for the ultimate holiday and will definitely look to book with them again.”

“It was over 2 years ago when we first contacted Adla about the Alaska Cruise and Rocky Mountaineer trip. Adla was very professional, friendly and most helpful in fulfilling our dream holiday. Her response to queries was quick and answered. Unfortunately 2 days before we were to go we had to cancel due to a health problem. On informing Adla she was very sorry and helped immensely with our insurance claim. Normally people once you have finished with customers its on to the next one. Not with Adla. Rolling on 2 years later we contacted Adla as we wanted to rebook our holiday. She managed to get us the same trip but also a little cheaper albeit a day less. As it was our 70th birthday special holiday 2 years earlier Adla had organised something special for us in the Hotels, Ship and Rocky Mountaineer. The organised trips she organised were excellent. Adla,thank you so much for an incredible and unforgettable experience. Being our first cruise it certainly will not be our last and the Rocky Mountaineer was amazing. All this would not have been possible without your organisation. We have no hesitation in booking with you on our next cruise and would highly recommend you and your company.”

“From the moment i contacted Adler at Barrhead Traveln I felt in comfortabe hands. With pure professionalism, patience, and no question to hard to answer, I was at ease to go ahead with my holiday. Adler is a credit to Barrhead Travel Five hotels, many excursions, one internal flight, a train trip, and a cruise, many things could have gone wrong. The fact that it went exactly as planned, is a credit to yourselves. The hotels in, Toronto, Niagara, Banff, and Vancouver, were as advertised. All premium class, clean, spacious, and wonderful views from the windows, especially of Niagara Falls. The trip along Niagara Gorge was fabulous. With many frequent stops, it was a eye opener. The trip to the base of the falls was very wet, but what a 'wow' factor. All the sences were in overdrive. Lunch at the Skylon Tower, was mInd blowing, magnificent food, service, and views. Banff will always impress, and did not fail this time. So many shops for retail therapy. The Mount Royal Hotel was right in the centre, a great choice!! The day trip to the idyllic Lake Louise was so scenic. It is generally frozen over, (as it was) until the end of May. Highway 93 so majestic, reaching the Athabaska Glacier. What an adventure. The top of Sulpher Mountain was just stunning. Vancouver, we found this city, at a slower pace,and the hotel idealy placed for getting around. Its a beautiful city. Finally, the Alaskan cruise. A first for both of us. We were not disappointed. It was mind blowing. After a week plus liveing out of a suitecases we could relax. The refurbished Celiberty Solstice was first class in every sense. The staterooms were comfortable and spacious. The balcony was a must have! Literally watching the world sailing by, and seeing Orca whales too. The Hubbard Glacier was surreal. The thunderous sound on cracking ice, and the ship sailing through mini iceburgs, what and experience. Juneau, is a great town, with many shops ( we got engaged, and bought a ring there.) and Ketchican, more than made up for it.. Time flew by and next thing, we were back in Vancouver, and taking the flight home. Both Karen and myself give the holiday 10 out of 10. It is because of the overall experience that we felt confident in placing our next holiday with Adler, at Barrhead Travel, especially with a loyalty discount. Regards Malcolm.”
