On a cold rainy day, this train tour was by far the highlight of our trip. From the heated cars to onboard restrooms it was perfect. The narrator and in car personnel were so informative. I highly recommend this tour for guests of all ages.

Had a wonderful time on the train. The views were great! I especially liked that we could go outside the train and take photos on the viewing platform at the back of the car. The commentary was also good and pointed out things I would not have known about.
