Customer Reviews

Totally Worth It!

Took the legacy tour, don’t be fooled by the large price tag, it’s really worth it, the staff on the train are top notch, very friendly and make you feel like the center on the universe, think the food is going to be blah? Nope, I would happily pay $150 a person in a restaurant for the quality of the 4 course meal we got!
