The trip on the Railroad, is worth the cost. Take the upgrade to First Class. Depot Staff and folks on the train know their stuff. Make sure you spend a lot of time taking in the Canyon on arrival, and not in the gift shops-which are very nice also. The Kachina has the best Native American gifts, go upstairs for... More

The adults only glass domed upper deck is the way to go! On our trip we saw a large herd of elk and a herd of antelope. They have great entertainment during the train ride and nice refreshments including adult beverages. My only regret is not staying overnight at the lodge before taking the train back to Williams.

After experiencing the congested roads and parking at the Grand Canyon in early March, I just knew that the train had to be the better option for our May trip. And I was right! We splurged and bought top of the line luxury parlor class tickets and yes, it was expensive but well worth it. Interesting people, big clean bathroom,... More

Great people and pleasant trip aboard the train. I would recommend to any age group. The staff is friendly and enjoy their work and working with each other. Very pleasant experience.

Yes it's expensive (unless you go in the regular coach), yes it can be cheesy but it's certainly great fun and as we'd already done lots of driving on a long road trip it was a great, relaxing way to get to the most amazing natural wonder on the planet. There is a cowboy show and shoot-out at the station... More

We had a great time on this, our first time visit to the Grand Canyon, we decided to do it in style and travelled in the panorama carriage. ( it was well worth the extra money ) Our hostess was very informative and entertaining, the free snacks and drinks were good and the view was great. The shoot out show... More

Like other mentioned while visiting Sedona we decided that we want to finally go see the Grand Canyon and looked into many different options. We deciding on the one day trip on the Grand Canyon Railroad from Williams. When we booked the trip we looked into the various options, regular coach, dome car, first class car and decided on the...

We took the train from Williams to the Park in the premium panorama car. We greatly enjoyed the kid-free environment and the views and amenities. Our hostess, Lorraine, was enthusiastic and welcoming, and Lorraine's Bloody Mary's are not to be missed. We also enjoyed the on board entertainment. Our return trip was serenaded by two very young and talented musicians.... More

We reserved spots in the "domed" observation level of the train, which provides panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. It was just a few dollars more, and well worth it for a once-in-a-lifetime trip. There were snacks and drinks available, and the dome level had a complimentary champagne (or fizzy cider) toast on the return trip. We were told that... More
