We booked an Alaskan vacation through Vacations By Rail. Everything from customizing the itinerary, booking the vacation and the vacation itself went so smoothly. We were so impressed with the trains and their staff. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. The trains were comfortable and the meals very good. It was absolutely amazing to be in the glass dome cars and watch the scenery and wildlife. Our vacation was so stress free as everything was so organized. We never had to worry about our luggage. It was always where it was supposed to be! We were spoiled and I want to book all future vacations through Vacations by Rail and travel by train!! We cannot say enough good things.

We felt everything was well organized and so pleased with the excursions we had. We were a group of six and everyone enjoyed every minute. Our trip was booked by Hilary and she was so friendly and helpful that we definitely would consider trips in the future.

The scenery was spectacular, especially with the investment in Gold Star Service. Alaska Railroad personnel were professional, personal and highly knowledgeable. They were all about friendly personal service.
