    This trip was fun, enjoyable, and long day. However, the day many activities and things to do in a non-rushed, yet enjoyable manner. The staff/actors put their heart into everything they do. The conductors, brakeman, rodeo clowns, cowboys on horses broke up the day into segments allowing for fun, variety, and joy by everyone aboard. If you want to enjoy the best food make reservations in advance at the Grand Canyons El Tovar Restaurant, delicious food and drink (especially the prickly pear syrup mixed with fresh lemonade and free refills), great service, and reasonably priced.

    Relaxing, and very enjoyable! Plenty of time at the Grand Canyon to look around. We were in first class and enjoyed the beverages and food as well. Even if not in first class, could bring our own snacks. Would suggest this for a family adventure or a couples retreat. ~Sherry Wamba

    The train ride was awesome. We had such a great time. The singers in the train were great and the train robbery skit was so much fun. Riding through the country side was just beautiful. The service was fantastic. Williams is such a great town and the Grand Canyon was so beautiful. We look forward to coming back again. I highly recommend this venue. It is worth it.
