I agree with the previous reviewer that the Verde Canyon RR is definitely not worth the time or money. We were in the 1st class "Flagstaff" car. The bartender/attendant was great, but my husband and I were disappointed with the overall experience. The views were not that great. We previously did the Pink Jeep Broken Arrow Tour, hiked Cathedral Rock... more

This is a 4 hour train ride, that cost $80+ for a "first class" car seat. The seating is quite comfortable. After about an hour, this 4 hour train ride becomes quite monotous. After four hours the train reverses itself and you return on the exact same route. The food is cheap and of low quality. They are constantly trying... more

On a beautiful day in early November we did this trip with a few hundred mainly American seniors. We rode coach as did most of the passengers and had a very enjoyable experience. The trip was worth it just to be able to ride outdoors on the open platform car - there are not any other railroad experiences I am... more

Went on a 98 degree day- if you stay in the car, be prepared for very cold temperatures- bring a jacket. Otherwise, the trip was beautiful, did not see much wildlife at this time of year, but the whole family enjoyed it, even the 4 year old we took with us. The trip is 4 hours, and the trip back... more

My wife and I took the "First Class" tour. The service aboard was great. Our attendant was not only attentive to our needs, she was also well informed on all aspects of the canyon, the railway, and the area. I felt like a Bulimic visionary attempting to gorge myself on all of the sights before they disappeared! This canyon ride... more

We did the Verde Canyon Railroad on Oct. 1st before heading into Sedona for a day. I had booked it a month in advance (which was good, because it was a sold out day) and we really enjoyed it. The scenery was beautiful and being in first class, we had our own viewing car, free water, small buffet (sub, wings,... more

We rode the train on September 26th and loved every minute of it. It was my wife's birthday and the attendant had everyone sing "happy birthday" to her, and she gave her a complimentary cocktail. The food was good and the drinks were great. We are planning to take the ride again during the winter months. We had a wonderful... more

Trip was way too long to see the wide open fields. The "complimentary drink" was half of a six ounce plastic cup of apple cider or champagne, but our attendant never got to our table. Food was terrible as well; it was cheap, frozen food that had been warmed over. Everyone I spoke to said the trip was at least... more

We traveled in 1st class which included a welcome glass of champagne or cider. I wish I had known that there would be so much food!!! DO NOT EAT LUNCH before you board the train if you are in 1st class!!!! There were chicken wings, sub sandwiches, caesar salad, veggie tray, chips, and brownies. There was an attendant for each... more
