Verde Canyon Railroad Train Tour (First Class) December 1, 2020What a great train excursion! The train was very nice and we enjoyed the open car on the first leg for the awesome scenery and the narrative of our host, Stacy I believe, who was very informative. The “snack” provided was actually a light meal. All in all an excellent experience! We’ll be back. I highly recommend the Verde Valley Railroad.

Bill C.
Verde Canyon Railroad Train Tour (First Class) November 17, 2019...Very pleased with the personal concern for purchasing tickets and reservations, etc.,.
Not happy that I was seperated from my group and could not move the the car they were in.
Audio did not work! Tour guides tried yelling our details, but i could only understand them when there were close to me.
Beautiful scenery and fresh air were worth the price. Would liked to have gotten off and visited the river edge.
Staff is outstanding!
Thank you! -
