I took the train in 2014, and it was a fantastic trip. Who knew that riding again in 2018 would be even better?! This time, I rode in the Luxury Parlor Car. The food and drinks were the same as before, but the seating was so much better. There were couches and seats in this car, and with the car not being completely full, we had all kinds of room to stretch out if we wanted. Tina was our host, and she was very entertaining! As if Tina wasn't enough entertainment, there was an accordion player on the way to the Canyon and a guitar player on the way back! LOL!
Actually, both entertainers were good, but the guitar player did a great job of getting everyone in the car involved in the entertainment. We were able to go the back of the train and stand outside to view the landscape passing by us. There's plenty of time to view the Grand Canyon before boarding the train back to Williams. It was a great experience and truly made the Grand Canyon trip more relaxing. It was my girlfriend's first time visiting the Grand Canyon, and she said that it "made" the entire trip for her! She was very pleased with the entire day!
