5.00An overall great experience! The train ride was fun and entertaining. The best part of the trip (besides seeing the Grand Canyon) was our shuttle tour guide, Al. He was very knowledgeable and attentive to all passengers!

Disappointed

3.00Most of this tour is in a packed van of 12. The train ride is only 21/2 hrs, but it is relaxing and scenic. They do sell provisions if needed. Back to the van, you should also note that if you need water or snacks you have to bring them. Better yet pack your lunch. The option for lunch was decent but very expensive. So do not expect anything to be provided (water).
Spectacular Grand Canyon

5.00This experience was well worth it. Getting picked up at our hotel by our wonderful guide, Cat, was only the start to a great day. She provided so much information about the areas in which we travelled. She also was always careful to be sure we were safe and informed. The Grand Canyon train was a blast. Catherine, on the train, was quite funny and informative. Fun and slow ride. Cat met us at the canyon after the train trip ended and took us to multiple viewpoints on the South Rim. Spectacular views! Gave advice on where to eat lunch and was right there for anything we needed. Great guide! It was a long day, yet will remain in our memories for life.
Grand Canyon by Train

5.00The tour guide, Cat, was terrific. She shared a lot of educational information. She was great about keeping the team on schedule. She clearly has a warm relationship with her counterparts. The views were unimaginable and breathtaking. The train ride is very VERY slow, so be patient. For anyone with mobility challenges, be aware of the many opportunities throughout the day for viewing the Grand Canyon that require getting in and out of the tour bus (shuttle van). The day was very long but also very worthwhile.
