It was a bit too touristy for my liking. Very predictable and scripted. The train trip itself was really nice and relaxing but the entertainment wasn't really good. The singers were good and the "cowboys" were okay but as I said, it was very scripted. I don't think kids would enjoy the trip at all, and I was glad there were no children in our car. I took the first class car with really comfortable, wide seats. The windows were wide and the views were good but you only see the canyon for literally 5 seconds so it doesn't go along the canyon at all.
