My husband and I (early 60's) did the 3 night, two days in Canyon thru the adventure package. First night stay at the Railway Hotel was a great stopping point from the ride in from Phoenix. Food at the hotel was good (not five star, it is after all a buffet), but the staff and entertainment were excellent. The train ride the next morning was relaxing and a lot of information that was given was extremely helpful. When we arrived, we boarded a tour bus (1 1/2 hour, not the lunch tour), which also gave great information on the bus schedule and restaurants. Our suitcases were in our room when we got there (Maswik lodge, separate review). It was also nice they went to room on last day and picked up our luggage, so we did not have to worry about that either. I would recommend, with or without children, this package. It was enjoyable, relaxing and a great way to see the South Rim. We did pay extra for the dome car, it was comfortable and quiet (no kids were in the dome car at this time).
