    Great trip with superb...

    Great trip with superb views especially when climbing the mountain pass. Lovely market at the far end with an excellent choice of food and other items. Staff on the train were courteous, knowledgeable and helpful throughout.
    Nice experience

    It was a nice experience to travel a bit back in time. I luckily read reviews about possible delays and was expecting it. We were at the station at 7:30am and only arrived back in town around 6pm. Which is a very long day and brace yourself for no fans or air-conditioning at the market itself. The staff is lovely on the train and so was the people at the market, the market has a lot of food stalls and amazing Variety to chose from, well priced too. But nothing much in terms of activities once you are at the market. Lovely experience but check the weather before otherwise you going to be sweating bullets in the heat.
    Fantastic rail journey

    A trip that will stay close to my heart. Wonderful vibe, great staff and would highly recommend. It’s a trip that takes you away from the worries of the world. The views are stunning and it’s an adventure that every member of the family will enjoy. If you visit Cape Town it’s a trip that is highly recommended.
    Steam Train is a must do while in Capetown
    Dean_I, Feb 2023
    The steam train trip from Capetown to Elgin was a truly wonderful day trip. My wife and I met a family from Capetown on the train that consisted of three generations. They were a delight to talk with and shared a lot about their lives in South Africa and we look foward to them coming to visit with us in Washington State. The scenery on the trip was beautiful especially the part going over Sir Lowery Pass. Lunch in Elgin was great. We shared wood fired pizza and local beer. Would definitely say this is a must do while in Capetown.
