I was told that we would be touring from 12-5:30 and would return to Johnstown at 10:30 Not even close . The traffic in DC was horrible. Our tour guide was terrible. We had to listen about the history of DC which nobody was interested in. My tour of the Cherry Blossom was 13 minutes and was herded on the bus by 4:20 and pulling out at 4:51. NOT OK!!! My friend reached out to the company and got a crappy response from Tracy basically telling us so what. Customer service was horrible. Our complaint was not taken seriously.

Everything is ridiculously vague. The pick up location indicated one area outside the Fairmont Hotel, but there was no signage and a very helpful valet pointed us to the pickup location. We were in place over 10 min early with one person still monitoring the other designated stop just in case, but that didn't mean anything because the "pickup times are approximate." We waited about 25 minutes and figured that the bus running over 15 minutes late seemed a bit extreme, so my SIL called the company. Apparently the bus came and left from who knows where and we never even saw it despite being able to see clearly down five different streets. Our next option was to wait over an hour for the next bus, but the person on the phone couldn't provide the exact bus pick up location, which made waiting pointless if the bus was not going to be at the advertised location. We ended up sightseeing on our own.

Saw so many eagles & it was fun seeing everyone get excited about it. A young George Washington was spotted in the woods & boarded our train to tell us about his time surveying the area. He walked to each car, posing for photos & answering questions. Interesting to learn he was the one who named the Trough. Basic cars to very fancy ones but I enjoyed the time in the open car the most. If planning on staying in your seat I would recommend getting the river side seats. Views are beautiful. There is a little gift shop on the train as well as a bigger one at the station. Also a snack bar on the train. I enjoyed the dining experience, food was okay. Only negative comment is the narrator was very monotone and hard to understand.

My husband, Sister, and I took the Potomac Eagle All Day Petersburg trip on June 27, 2026. For my…read morehusband and myself, this was our second "Ride to the End of the Line" and although our first trip was great, this one exceeded any expectations we had; it was a wonderful all-around experience. There are three reasons this Potomac Eagle experience is worth repeating, and why the value is exceptional: 1. First and Foremost: The Potomac Railroad Employees From first contact to disembarking upon return to Wapacomo Station the employees made us feel welcome and valued. Although all of the employees were great, three young men stood out among their peers...Lucas, Carlos and Kalib made our trip a truly memorable experience. Immediately upon boarding, they offered us coffee or tea and throughout the day, they not only checked-in to see how we were doing, they stopped by and talked to us. I watched them treat other guests in our car the same. When we learned these young men were working their first jobs, we were amazed; they truly epitomized superior customer service. In today's world, I rarely see such outstanding care and service. Potomac Eagle is doing something right; other service providers could learn from the Potomac Eagle version of excellence. 2. Second: Superior Food throughout the trip Since we were on the all day trip, our reservation included breakfast and lunch appetizers with a small treat before we disembarked at Petersburg. Upon reboarding, Lucas and Carlos immediately welcomed us back with coffee and Arnold Palmer (lemonade-sweet tea) drinks. They kept our cups and glasses full for the entire return trip. The true value from our trip, however, was our Superior Dining experience. Chef William prepared a four-star, four-course dinner (Superior Dining class) that will bring me back later this summer for another excursion. We had beef tenderloin and Chilean Sea Bass w/Lemon for our main courses with appetizers, salads, and desserts. I felt like I gained 3 pounds from the outstanding dinner alone!! 3. Third but not least important: The Trough Canyon Experience Approximately mid-way to Petersburg, the train stops to allow passengers into their open-air gondola car for a 45-minute unobstructed view. While the train goes through the Trough Canyon, passengers see eagles soaring, dear foraging, and other natural wonders. The trip offers an opportunity only available via the Potomac Eagle...driving a car wouldn't be the same. For all the great things I can say about the Potomac Eagle experience, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the opportunities and people in Petersburg. The trip offers an additional excursion to Smoke Hole Caverns. For those who do not go to Smoke Hole, there are small vintage shops, museums, restaurants, and/or a chance to sit back, relax and to just be in the moment. It's a day away from the normal grind...Ride the Potomac Eagle to the End of the Line. Take a step back in time and enjoy!

I was surprised at the cursory mention of the Hill District given the other rich neighborhood histories provided. 3 quick facts that could be added (less than 10 secs) Home of America's first EMT service, "Freedom House", which other cities used as a model. Home of August Wilson (mentioned earlier) and where "Fences" was filmed. Made Pittsburgh a real incubator for jazz innovation in the early 20th century. These could easily be added when mentioning the neighborhood while driving by. Would take this tour again for sure. Highly recommended.
