5.00The train experience was not what I expected. Staff was very friendly however our attendant talked for 2 1/2 hours while we were on the train, giving us a lecture on history. Our tour guide,Cat, for the Grand Canyon was amazing! The convenience of having someone pick you up, drive you through and into the experience, was worth the price in gold! But this was more than a convenience. She was kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable, not only of the Grand Canyon, but of the entire areas in Arizona. We felt that our experience was thorough and enjoyable! I would absolutely recommend visiting this area and the Grand Canyon, regardless of the current fire burning in the North end. The fires did not impact our vacation at all. Views were stunning. Cat shared information that you would not be able to get otherwise from the informational posts at each stop. I felt that she dove deep into the history of the surroundings that gave a us a better appreciation of the area.

4.00I had an amazing time with Sheldon on the grand canyon experience. He was very insightful and took us to some amazing spots to view the canyon. He knew how to keep everyone on track and had a ton of suggestions for other activities in the Sedona area. I would have given 4.4 starts if it were an option just bc the train ride didn't measure up to anyone in the tour expectations. I had a window seat but it was in-between two windows so I had an obstructed view. The seats were definitely"authentic" and refurbished to their original condition which translates to the most uncomfortable two hours. Especially for someone with back and neck problems. What happened after the one way train ride made up for the bad experience with the train. Also, FYI don't have the greasy tacos from the food court. Your stomach will thank me. If I could redo anything it would be to skip the train ride and just ride in the shuttle van. Sheldon and the rest of my tour group were pleasant and fun to spend the day with. I would take this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone. It's so much better when some else drives.
Fun!

5.00Matt N. was our tour guide, he took us from Sedona, to the train station in Williams and back to Sedona from the Grand Canyon. We traveled in a van with another family on board. Matt was extremely knowledgeable and full of stories regarding the Grand Canyon and Sedona. He also knew lots about the geology, history and present day Sedona. Matt was also very entertaining and hilarious, this would definitely be the best tour me and my father completed while on our Arizona trip!
