Verde Canyon Railroad Adventure Package

Anthony and Aiden were great guides. Very informative and fun. Sites were good. Ecological facts were great. Ruins and bridges were not the most impressive for us coming from CO. Train atmosphere was great. Clean, but the two people table top's chairs could have been more comfortable but should have been more secured; were a hallway hazard. The length and admission price was appropriate. In train food and cocktails were very good. The lunch, huge salad not great, mostly leafy, not enough vegetables. Burger was good. Overall good and fun! The fall may be beautiful 😍

Absolutely beautiful train ride through the canyon. The guides were extremely informative and answered all of our questions.

It is excellent! It’s very well managed in every respect. The entire process is a smooth operation. The employees are great and seem to really enjoy working there. The food is really good and generous. Everything is clean and neat and picked up after. Very comfortable train cars and amazing scenery, with knowledgeable narration.

Our recent experience on the Verde Canyon Railway was outstanding from start to finish and exceeded our expectations in every way. The entire operation is incredibly well organized, making the process smooth and enjoyable from arrival through departure. We especially enjoyed the delicious food at the depot restaurant before boarding — it was the perfect way to begin the adventure. What truly set this experience apart was the people. Every member of the staff was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and enthusiastic. The team (Josh and Ryan) assigned to our train car was knowledgeable, attentive, engaging, and full of energy throughout the journey. Their stories, insights, and interaction added so much to the overall experience and made the trip both entertaining and educational. The train cars themselves were extremely comfortable, with excellent air conditioning that made the ride pleasant even on a warm Arizona day. The charcuterie offerings were also a very nice touch and far exceeded our expectations. The only suggestion we would offer for improvement involves the guide in the outdoor viewing car. He shared a tremendous amount of fascinating information and wonderful stories, but unless you were standing or seated very close to him, it was difficult to hear what he was saying. A cordless microphone would make a tremendous difference and allow all passengers to fully enjoy and appreciate the commentary. Overall, this was a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Arizona. We left with wonderful memories and would gladly do it again.

We had a great time seeing so much of the Arizona landscape and learning some of its’related history. Easy to make reservations and easy to find depot. The car staff/bartender was quite informative and we took away many historical details. Very pleasant staff with Romn and Eric. It was very relaxing it is highly recommended.

This trip was everything that others have said about it! It was an amazing, restful day! The scenery was beautiful and our people in the indoor car (Sapphire) and outside car (Matt) were amazing! Matt was super informative and entertained all our questions and Sapphine was the sweetest and funniest host! We would recommend it to everyone!!

Lunch and snacks were provided. You can go outside in the open air car if you desire or sit inside in the air conditioning.

Out experience was wonderful, food was great along with the train ride. The host Michelle, Christian were wonderful.

We checked in a little over an hour before departure, which was 1:00. We got back to the depot about 5:25. So plan for the excursion to take a good chunk of time. It was great! Between the meal voucher, the charcuterie on board, and the champagne, we were constantly full. The meal portions at the depot were large! You can buy drinks on board, and they are reasonable. I’m a wine drinker, so I will tell you that you have to buy wine by the bottle. The bottles are all $30, so nothing outrageous, and they have a cap, so if you don’t finish, you can take them off the train with you. As for the train ride experience, we all loved it. It was me, spouse, a 15 year old, and 17 year old. We were fortunate to have a slightly overcast day in late June, so it was definitely pleasant to sit/stand in the open air car to take in the scenery. The workers were fantastic—great customer service and knowledgeable about the things we would see. This whole experience was a highlight of our trip to the Sedona area.
