Nice Train - It was a great help to be able to pick me up at my hotel. In terms of tour content, we would get a ticket, take a one-way train, get off at Lakeside, take a break at a cafe, and then take a bus back to the city. Tickets are hard to come by, so I’m sure we’re glad we signed up for the tour! It was a rare experience to get out in the wilderness together! I was so healed 😊 The female guide was also kind and took pictures of one person with care! Thank you very much.

10/10 - The tour was absolutely wonderful. I would do it again. Naomi was an amazing tour guide too. The train is a nice 1 hour ride and worth the money. Very scenic and its fun to let your feet hang from the sides. Naomi gave us a lot of history on the Puffing Bill and created such a energetic atmosphere for the tour. 10/10 recommend. Id request Naomi to be my guide again!!
