You have to do this! A brilliant, relaxing and fun way to get to the Grand Canyon. Go to Williams and before you board take in the free Wild West show which is a lot of fun. The trip itself is at a leisurely pace - so plenty of time to see all of the scenery, plus there are free... more

I can't believe all of the complaints about this package. We just returned from the trip package which included 2 nights in Williams and one at the Grand Canyon. We had a fantastic time. Yes, the food was buffet food, but so what? Our rooms in Williams were incredibly clean and well-appointed. All of the staff we met during our... more

The train itself is clean and comfortable, while giving you the experience of traveling in a different era. Everyone is able to watch the scenery from the windows, without being distracted by trying to keep a car on an unfamiliar road. During the trip, the staff points out historically interesting sights that you would not otherwise be aware of. They... more

Last weekend, we rode on the Grand Canyon railway to the Grand Canyon. The hostess in our coach car, Cathy, was extremely helpful and acted like she loved her job! The train trip was a wonderful experience for my husband and I who have never seen the Grand Canyon before. I am so glad that the Grand Canyon railway is... more

I booked this trip for the Train, Hotel & Canyon Bus and lunch. I should have paid more attention to the reviews that were posted here. First, the good part - The train is beautiful. If you enjoy poking along at 30 mph you will enjoy this. The restroom on the Dome Car that we overpaid for was filthy!!! The... more

The train ride is wonderful. We traveled coach and had plenty of room. Great air conditioning also. The attendant was very knowledgeable, and performers/entertainers were great for the kids. The train ride does have a staged robbery on the return to Williams from The Grand Canyon, so prepare your younger children. Great experience and alternative to our typical theme park... more

We booked a package with the train with one night at Grand Canyon Railway Hotel in Williams including dinner and breakfast buffet and one night in the Canyon at the Maswik Lodge including a Motorcoach Tour of the Rim upon arrival to the Grand Canyon. We did this package three years ago and really enjoyed it, so we decided to... more

I booked the 3 day luxury trip based on the info stated on the web site. On the site it state that the “Best” rooms at the canyon are reserved for Luxury and first class passengers. When we arrived at the canyon, following our tour we went to the Maswik to check in. Some of the guests were told the... more

Yes, it is a slow ride and the scenery is less than spectacular, but it is enjoyable and relaxing. I'm glad we didn't try to do it in a day. One day up, overnight and the next day back made for a better trip than almost a whole day on the train would have. We did not upgrade at all... more
