Touring can be a rather useful and fun experience, someone else showing you all the best spots and telling you exactly where they came from and answering your every question, no more wondering and trying to get your phone to work while you look up obscure references in google, but have someone to help you along the way. Amtrak has partnered with various tour operators to offer you one such an experience offering a variety of places you can explore.
First off there is the Hearst Castle Package which allows you to visit the stunning heart Castle by Amtrak abroad the Coast Starlight. Its an amazing castle-like setting that happens to be atop a rather Enchanting Hill and to make the fairy tale even more mystical it overlooks the sea! Circled by many gardens and terraces there are pools and three palatial guesthouses, Hearst Castle welcomed Hollywood stars and high society members from around the world.
Monterey Overnight Holiday is another amazing option, this is a seaside
escape that features the Nations Number 1 aquarium for both kids and parents, and was rated so in the Parents Magazine and it was rated Number eight in best attraction in the U.S. by TripAdvisor. You can explore the Historic Cannery Row, which was immortalized by the writings of John Steinbeck and is now filled with shops, restaurants and of course, entertainment.
Don’t forget the Reno Fun Train and the Snow Train, which is a seasonal fun train party where you can dance your way from Northern California cities all the way down to the snowy Sierra mountainside for an entire weekend of fun and games in Reno, Nevada. Of course, on our way home we often find ourselves exhausted and this is no issue as you can easily relax and watch the scenery on your way home, they schedule around fun themes such as Mardi Gras and Country Westerday & Murder Mystery.
These are only a few of the amazing times you can be having on Amtrak deals, you can see more of their deals and information at their website.
Amtrak offers so many deals it makes my head spin looking them all up, one of the many deals they offer happen to be their Amtrak Vacations deal, and I don’t know about you but the moment I hear vacation my brain automatically responds “I need one of those, but such a hassle.” though in this case, I think you’ll find the perfect exception to get yourself going.
Amtrak Vacations makes it so planning gets easier and easier, all you need to do is give Amtrak Vacations a phone call and they will do it all. They arrange your train tickets for you, they arrange hotel accommodations, they get car rentals sorted out, all the way down to sightseeing and I am impressed. All you need to do is enjoy the scenery as you are on your way to your pick of vacation destinations. They even have it set up so if you are in a rush to get home you can take their Amtrak Air Rail tickets, so you will be flying home for a quick return.
They tell you planning is as easy at 1-2-3, simply go to their Amtrak Vacations websites and choose the destination you are going to from some of their many choices and they will customize the vacation just for you.
The second step is to decide how long you are going to stay, and the types of things you want to do as soon as you get there. If you are into sightseeing or any other types of adventures let them know so they can get it all set up.
Then for the last thing all you have to do is call 1-800-Amtrak-2 and they will have one of their trained specialists help you create the rail vacation you’ve been dreaming about, its as easy as paying and getting away.
