We came from Florida to visit family and wanted to experience some Colorado history. This tour was great! We did the train ride, mine exploration and panning for gold. The scenery was beautiful, it was educational and a day well spent!

Very beautiful place to visit. The train ride was nice with a lot of amazing views with a small river running through the area. I would love to return at least once for each season. We went in autumn and got to see the colorful trees. All of the staff were cheerful and happy.

It was our first time visiting a railroad in winter, and Georgetown Loop Railroad couldn’t have been a better place to start. It will be hard to find another experience like this one. The Lights Train was incredible from the very beginning. As soon as you arrive at the station, you can feel the magic. This is an experience for everyone, no matter their age. A must see, and make sure to visit the town as well.

Came here on my honeymoon with my husband, and it was truly everything we wanted! Cory was our conductor, I believe, and he was one of many of the incredible team members we met here. Not only that, but the views were breathtaking. Highly recommend for anyone and everyone, and we can’t wait to go back!
