Williams Station, Grand Canyon Railway - Williams, Arizona

It was a faster way to get to the Grand Canyon scenic view deck without driving 4 plus hours. Everyone can relax and enjoy the show inside the train. The tour guide gave a very informative narration of the important people that contributed in building the history of the railway and the hotels up on the mountain.

Totally enjoyed the train to the Grand Canyon. We were in the Parlor Car (Chief) and our PSA/host was Terrill. She did a great job with her history stories and ensuring that we had everything we needed to make the trip above expectations. This is the second time taking the train and both times have been a five star experience. Will definitely return.

Our PSA Sierra was amazing, she went the extra mile for our group. We traveled with a group of 56 people, raging in ages 5-75, they had something fun for everyone, we all had a great time! We traveled coach and it was enjoyable, the performers were also very entertaining.

Certainly an unusual and fun way to get to the Grand Canyon. Lots of nice scenery along the way in a very comfortable train car with good but hokey, service and theater. Beverages and snacks were a nice touch as was the music commentary and train robbery. Fun time was had by all!

The Grand Canyon train ride was an incredible experience! Rob the passenger service attendant was funny and informative! Really enjoyed the musicians and the train robbery! ? We rode first class. The seats were very comfortable and the snacks were good. Bathrooms were clean. A+ experience, one we will never forget!

This was an amazing place.. the Train ride was so much fun. I'm glad we did the first class tickets for the 60 mile trip that takes over a little 2 and a half hours to get to the Canyon. The staff that works the train are amazing... friendly and very informative. They made the trip fun and relaxing telling the first timers what to expect. The views leading up to the Grand Canyon are wonderful.. I took a few photos and included them to show the beauty of what you see when you get off the Rail Road. The Station in Williams has a restaurant and gift ?shops in 2 different buildings. They have all the souvenirs you could ever dream of or want. This trip was pretty fantastic and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this trip out to Williams to come do this Train ?ride ?.. We live in California and for my family it was a awesome & fantastic once in a lifetime experience. We all lead busy lives .. work hard and getting away can be difficult at times. This trip was so worth it and worth every penny to see the smiles on my family's faces. I will remember this trip for the rest of my life ... Such a beautiful awe inspiring place the Grand Canyon is .. What a blessing to see it in its magnificence. This place is Magical and Majestic truly one of the Great Wonders of our Planet. If you haven't been here you OWE it to yourself to witness the raw beauty of this place and everything it symbolizes...?
