1 / 2Hudson River Rail Excursions
đ Manhattan, NY
Vintage train excursions aboard restored 1940s railroad cars along the Hudson River. Best for families seeking a nostalgic rail experience, though communication issues may occur.
We had a wonderful experience on this magical train ride from New York to Chicago and two days later from Chicago to New York. From the moment we arrived to the train station, we were attended by Kevin, the program director, with the onboarding and upon boarding the train, we are welcomed by the wonderful staff, Lou the main ring leader, who is super informative about the train route and interesting landmarks along the railway and accompanied by Brianne, who assisted with serving our meals, dinner and breakfast, that were prepared with love by Sarah the Chef. We highly recommend the Hudson River Rail Excursions, which you will not soon forget. Sincerely, Nelson and Karen Zaldivar
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families seeking a nostalgic train adventure who can overlook operational hiccups. The experience itself appears magical with knowledgeable staff, but be prepared for potential communication issues and limited dietary options. Consider this for older children who can appreciate the historical aspect.
