awful. Views Speed-slow. Constant talking and entertaining and tipping begging from the staff. Zero peace. Would never do it again. Recommend for those 65 + only.

What a fantastic day we had!!! we really enjoyed our trip on the Grand Canyon Railroad, and the western show before the train left… definitely worth doing.

We enjoyed our time round trip in the observation dome. I would highly recommend booking a bus tour in the package as it is a great way to see different stops at the canyon in the short amount of time you get at there. We would have loved some overhead narration or light music through the speakers as at times our train guide was a little much and too frequent. The violinist was fantastic and funny and had the whole car singing and clapping. The rock guitarist we could have done without. It did not fit the train ride and we got tired of hearing about his partying and rock lifestyle. The bandits were a fantastic touch. Overall facilities of the train station were great! Everything was perfect about the Fred Harvey restaurant except the food. Fred Harvey would be rolling in his grave. If there was one thing we could change would be to speed up the train to take off 15-20 minutes each way. We would do this experience again if the opportunity arises.

Highly recommend it. Everything is very well planned out and on time. Snacks and refreshments on board. The staff on the train are wonderful and attentive. The train robbers was a great highlight. But most of all Tyrel a lovely lady who worked the train fascinated us with her knowledge of the history and is one of greatest storytellers. We couldve stayed on the train and simply listened to her all day long.

Started off from the train depot raining, snow and sleet. Thought this is not going to go so well but, by the time we reached the Grand Canyon, we had a break in the weather. We had lunch at the lodge then Michael guided us on a bus tour with stops to view the canyon from different points along the rim. Our train guide Mary Ellen on the train ride up and back was absolutely the best. El Tovar was beautiful and the Hopi House was so amazingly authentic. I would highly recommend this tour. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

This AAA rail/lodging/tour package was a GREAT deal and best way to see the Grand Canyon. Our rail car hostess, Noel, was beyond fantastic in the PARLOR CAR, which was one option offered on the train part. The Harvey hotel at beginning and end of the package was extremely well coordinated and they are the ones doing all the logistics for this entire package. They facilitated everything to perfection!!! The Maswik lodge, which is an option if you prefer to stay overnight in the park, is a two star PARK LODGE; not a Marriott hotel. But for one or two nights most adequate. And, remember, inside national parks you have very few options! Overall, this package deal was excellent!!!

We booked a package that included the Grand Canyon Railroad Hotel and train combination. We did not add the meals and bus tour. My husband and I booked the luxury parlor level for our CG train trip. We went up and back in the same day. The train ride was really fun and a bucket list item for us. Passengers in these cars need to be age 12 and up if you plan to book. Our hostess with the mostess was Jenny. She's a dynamo and handled 2 luxury cars due to staffing shortages. She genuinely loves her job, and it shows. Her personality made the trip fabulously fun. There is also some live entertainment while you travel. There were traveling musicians and actors portraying cowboys, robbers, and a U.S. Marshall in pursuit. Please have extra tip money because gratuities are not included in your package. You'll want to tip your train attendants, musicians, and other entertainment. The whole logistics of the train ride were easy to follow, and you are well prepared. Ensure you are prepared for the Grand Canyon weather. We went during late March when the weather was wild and unpredictable. We had our winter coats with us and were very glad. Wind speeds were 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph that day. The temperature was in the 50s, but the varying cloud cover and winds made it chilly. The train dumps you off right at the south rim of the GC. We had a great time exploring what we could in our time there. The GC is spectacular. The train ride back was just as fun! The Grand Canyon Railway Hotel was a convenient place to sleep for 2 nights. Don't expect a lot of amenities. There aren't many. If you want convenience, book here. If you want amenities, don't. Most rooms don't have refrigerators or microwaves. This is extra. There is no included breakfast or free coffee bar area. To be honest, there is plenty of lodging within a short walking distance of the train. Do your research and decide what you really want in lodging. Our room was clean and comfortable. There are plenty of eateries in Williams. Just plan accordingly for time.

Had a very nice time taking a leisurely train ride to the Grand Canyon. Then having a guided bus tour to a few spots and being able to get some nice shots of the canyon. On the train ride back we had the pleasure of being "robbed" by bandits. We openly hid money for them to "steal". Met some nice people on the train and laughed a lot. It was a very nice and memorable day.

Susan U

Had "Jenny" on our train. She was the best & that day had to do our train plus the one in front of us. She was hopping! The trip was very informative & relaxing. We were entertained by guitar players on the way there & back. The lunch was delicious! And the bus ride to the south rim was informative also. We had "Mandy" driving the bus and she was great too. Next time we would stay overnight & take the train back the next day, when we have more time.
