1377 miles from Seattle to L.A. We had a sleeper room and nice large window. It was so relaxing watching the towns go by. Our room was clean, the staff helpful and friendly. The food was fresh and delicious.

Vacations by Rail was great to deal with. Our travel advisor was Suzanne who was both personable & knowledgeable. Our issues were not with Vacations, but rather with Amtrak.We did 2 trips back to back, which included hotel stays. The hotels were high end & wonderful. We would not hesitate to deal with V by R again, & have already recommended them.

One of the better vacation, if not the best, I've had. I had great time at the train and the best views. Surely would recommend Vacations By Rail.

We had a great time, enjoyed lots of new friends, and can't wait to do the next trip. We have told many of our friends about the good time we had and I expect they will call you. Incidentally, I run a large company with several hundred employees with a real focus on customer service. You get an A plus for this trip and your great service.
