Relaxing

5.00It is a slow moving train where we could enjoy the amazing beauty of the area. There were options for drinks & snacks, although we never went back to that car, there was a lot of people coming & going from there. Just a relaxing way to get to the Grand Canyon.
Excellent tour

4.00Great canyon is magnificent, and Cat our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, definitely worth it. But the train ride is meh. It took two and a half hour on the train to move from flagstaff to great canyon village, while driving you needs one hour less. This season there’s no wildlife to observe, so not recommended. Go for those drive only tours.
Highly recommend

3.00Tour guide was very informative but could have been friendlier. Train trip was a waste of time. Grand Canyon views made it all worthwhile.

5.00I originally thought the price was high for this experience—but now that we experienced our day, we are happy we booked this. If we had gone on our own, we wouldn’t have experienced all the great stops that our excellent guide Brian took us to. We also really enjoyed the nostalgic train ride on the way to the canyon. It was a relaxing ride, but we were fine with it being just one way. We had a bit longer to tour the canyon with our guide. One thing we would recommend is to purchase your lunch in advance OR wait to purchase at the market deli (less options, longer lines). For a first time experience—this was a great option!
