The train experience was not what I expected. Staff was very friendly however our attendant talked for 2 1/2 hours while we were on the train, giving us a lecture on history. Our tour guide,Cat, for the Grand Canyon was amazing! The convenience of having someone pick you up, drive you through and into the experience, was worth the price in gold! But this was more than a convenience. She was kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable, not only of the Grand Canyon, but of the entire areas in Arizona. We felt that our experience was thorough and enjoyable! I would absolutely recommend visiting this area and the Grand Canyon, regardless of the current fire burning in the North end. The fires did not impact our vacation at all. Views were stunning. Cat shared information that you would not be able to get otherwise from the informational posts at each stop. I felt that she dove deep into the history of the surroundings that gave a us a better appreciation of the area.
