Lake Louise & Moraine Lake holidays
Lake Louise, or ‘the Jewel of the Rockies’, was named after the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and was originally a stop along the Canadian Pacific Railway. Today, this emerald-green lake is known for its sheer beauty, with tourists coming to view the sparkling waters and backdrop of Victoria glacier. Lesser-visited Moraine Lake is approximately half the size of Lake Louise, but arguably more scenic than its celebrated neighbour. The indigo-blue waters are surrounded by the Valley of the Ten Peaks, all located in Banff National Park.

Mrs Hiller"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our visits to Havana and Trinidad. Trinidad in particular was small and colourful with lots of music and good restaurants. We had a dance at our morning coffee/cocktail stop which was fun and enjoyable. The thing we will remember most about our trip to Cuba was the music everywhere at all times and of course the cocktails!

"My most inspirational moment of my holiday was seeing Petra for the first time and glimpsing the Treasury through the Siq. I had waited a very long time to visit Petra and was not at all disappointed. The sunshine glinting on the sandstone made for a constantly changing view..
