someone has to tell the truth of what can haopen to you on this "Day" trip because it happened to us. Try leaving in the morning on a school bus type seat (small) and in July in Arzonia with no air. It was inhumane after 2yrs my arm got sun poison just riding up because of the sun coming on window and there was no escaping it. THen WE'RE dropped off middle of nothing, NO BATHROOM'S and you cant even believe it but cant see grand canyon after 3 HR RIDE. 20 miniutes later in 108 degree heat. I.got sick, felt faint. We EVENTUALLY ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS find out that we have to cross over the railroad tracks to the ticket booth [also no air) to get to a hill we go up and then yes magnificant aweinspiring beauty of no parallel.
Its 118 degrees by now. We go to the restaurant to find some relief and bathroom,by this time its been almost 4 hrs since we left station and i really needed one. The stench of.the restroom was so bad it sent us back to the ticket booth were there was a line for the 2 dirty bathrooms there but there was airflow. We asked about a uber for return trip because theres noway I'm getting back into a tin metal car at 118 degrees and was told the the return trip would be in a differnt car with air. It seems we were in the 1928 "pullman" car which I guess is less than coach and thats why it has no air. It did have electric outlets so???
Anyway I know you get what you pay for so I didnt pay for the luxury train but no where did.it.say without.air.in 108 degree heat. You see nothing on the way up of.the grand canyon so is just the transportation. Yes they had some.very amateur and I mean very, entertainment on the train but it seemed to be entirely focused on getting more money. They wanted tips for singing, then they rob you yes rob you for money you are pushed to give them. Then train attendant on the way back was very nice and gave alot of educational info about the area but dont have kids she wont put up with any foolishness. I mean how dare a child whine or get restless on a 3hr, slow bake trip back. I will never ever get on a train again just " in case" because I didn't know you could sell abuse so wel
