Not worth the money

No fall colours while they say that there would be a lot of colour. The website sais if you don't want to share a table with other couples then you could buy an extra ticket, but in the train you can sit where ever you...More

Quite a disappointing train ride

From the pictures and description I had higher expectations for this train ride. It definitely disappointed - it was nothing like the description. There were kids running up and down the train car and no one seemed to care. Total disappointment and waste of money.

Fall Foilage

Great time! We got to view the fall foliage on this trip through the mountains in Vermont. The narration was informative and humorous. The food and beverage service was nice( limited because it was the last trip of the year). I would recommend this trip...More

Not what I expected

I booked this train ride for my mother and I based on the Green Mountain Railroad website. I thought it looked like fun and quaint and would allow us to have a beautiful view of Vermont, which was the main reason for our trip. We...More

Train ride boring!

Very boring, could not see much foliage except for what was by the side of the train. The other guests looked so bored, sleeping or on their phones. The announcer talked a little bit on the ride up but nothing on the way back. Bathrooms...More

What a fun adventure

Rode the Green Mountain Railroad Fall Foliage train last week and had a great experience. Comfortable seating (we sat in a car with lounge seats rather than in cars with tables), beautiful scenery, and very friendly staff. A great experience all the way around.

Skip the steep ticket prices and just go for a drive

Pretty fall foliage but the views were no better than from our car windows. Limited narration by crew and speakers was hard to hear where we were sitting. Much of the seating on board is uncomfortable for the long ride, though we lucked out with...More

Sightseeing

Boring train ride. No information given by staff. The rails went through trees so even if there had been scenery you couldn’t have seen it.

Beautiful Vermont fall foliage trip! (3 Replies)

Hi Everyone, We are coming over to USA in Sep/October next year for a very exciting holiday! We are staying in Burlington from 1st Oct to the 5th October. I realise this may not be ideal fall foliage colours but it was all we could do with the timings we had. I am very keen to take a train ride to see the scenery and had looked into Green Mountain Railroad but it's 2 hours drive from Burlington so I'm worried it's taking so much out of the limited days we have. We will have a...More

Response fromAdm_VT|

You'll be better off doing day trips in your car from Burlington to cover more ground and see more sights. Typically, on those dates if you head up through Stowe and over Smuggler's Notch (Route 108) and to points North and East --Eden, Lowell, Newport, Lake Willoughby, Craftsbury, Elmore -- you'll find foliage at that time of year. You'll also enjoy Burlington a lot on those dates as there's always a lot going on and it's a beautiful small city on the shore of Lake Champlain with beautiful...More
