About the tour
Some of the most impressive scenery in the continental United States beckons on this 10-day tour through Colorado. The state's rich history and storied views come to life through excursions aboard upgraded heritage railcars and extra services on five historic trains: the Georgetown Loop Railroad, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, Royal Gorge Route Railroad and the Pikes Peak Cog Railroad. Railway experts, overflowing with knowledge about the routes, rolling stock and regions the trains move through, offer invaluable insights throughout the tour, and the small group atmosphere afforded by this journey allows each experience to be enjoyed to the fullest extent.
Our railway adventure begins in Denver, where the Old West collides with modern luxuries. The tour continues on, with overnights in Palisades, Durango, Alamosa and Colorado Springs. Along the way, we enjoy deluxe motorcoach transportation between destinations and exciting experiences. With boarding in some of the region's most renowned hotels, first-class amenities and wonderful dining opportunities, immerse yourself in the beauty of Colorful Colorado. All aboard for this once-in-a-lifetime expedition of Colorado's railways.

The itinerary was excellent. The organization was very good. However, the guide was perhaps the best I have ever encountered; her engagement with the participants, her knowledge and - well - her great personality and style, really made every part of the trip worthwhile and enjoyable. There was excellent teamwork with the driver, who was also a great fellow.
