Grand Canyon Railway Rails to the Rim Adventure

RONALD LEE NEAL
5 stars
“This was the first time we’ve traveled by Amtrak. The first leg from Portland to Seattle it was 2 hours late. The second leg from Seattle to Vancouver it broke down and we had to take the bus there. Eric’s team did a good job of rebooking us on Grayhound although we were able to get a ride on another bus line that got us there earlier. As totally unreliable as Amtrak was we did enjoy scenic views and are considering booking another. We loved the Theodore Hotel. They gave us an upgraded room and the hotel was beautiful. We liked the Hilton the least. The prices were incredible $24 for a shot of tequila and $19 for a glass of the worst Chardonnay ever. Plus it was a short pour. The Seattle tour was the worst. On that trip the driver had no speaker so you couldn’t understand half what she said. Stops were very brief and it was all about the history and not much else. If we hadn’t got off at the Space Needle we would have missed that and the very beautiful Chihuly exhibit. Next to the Butchart garden were highlights of our trip.

DORINDA UY
5 stars
“The first class accommodation at the lounge was perfect with the shower room ( complete with towels and toiletries), snacks and comfortable chairs. The meals in the train were savory and hot. Enjoyed every one of them. The train ride from Chicago to New Orleans went by pretty quickly with views of the Midwest towns. The hotels provided in Chicago and New Orleans were right in the center of downtown where you could walk to most places. Overall, all 4 of us enjoyed our experience!
