  Fabulous experience!

  We enjoyed an incredible time on this ride. The scenery was beautiful, and it was a unique experience. We would definitely participate again. A note for future travelers: the description on the website aims to assess effort levels for everyone, but we found the Pudding Creek rail bike ride to be quite easy and short. With the electric-powered bikes, pedaling isn't necessary if you prefer not to. Next time, we intend to try the longer and more challenging tour on Noyo Creek.

  Double-charge scam

  We booked a railbike ride for January 6, 2025, and upon arrival, discovered we had been charged twice. The staff member who checked us in mentioned that this happens often and advised us to call a number for a refund, but that number doesn’t accept calls from my caller ID. I attempted to contact them through their website for six days without response. Despite receiving multiple requests to review, my experience has been marred by their lack of professionalism.

  Update your TripAdvisor profile if you want better reviews to grow your business

  I am still waiting for a full refund, as there was no mention in the ticket, description, or email about needing to arrive 30 minutes early. I pointed this out to the staff at their reception, but my confirmation did not indicate this requirement. I will update my review if I receive a complete refund.

  Unique experience

  This was a truly unique experience that was also easy to navigate. My mother and grandmother would have thoroughly enjoyed it. We spotted turkeys, coyotes, walnut trees, cacti, and aloe vera plants.

  This would be a one time experience.

  The experience was brief considering the cost. There weren't any notable views, and while it provided something new, I wouldn't repeat it, especially not at that same place.

  Hidden Gem

  This excursion was incredible, offering about an hour of fun on a former interurban train line my father used in the 1930s, covering roughly 10 miles. The views of the Sacramento River and surrounding farmland are ones you won't find from local roads. We spotted wild turkeys and rabbits, and enjoyed the sight of lush farms. There were two other couples with us, and both our lead and rear guides were attentive and friendly. The ride was easy, thanks to the option of electric assistance. I'm glad I wore sunglasses with my contacts as it was a bit breezy, so comfortable clothing is advisable. Be cautious with phone photos because it can get bumpy. I noticed many water bottles on the path, which was amusing. While it’s not cheap, it’s definitely a worthwhile experience. Jessica was an excellent hostess, and I would highly recommend this tour group.

  Good

  It was a neat experience. We spotted wild turkeys and a few bunnies. The weather was ideal. I only wish it had been longer, around 20 miles instead of just 10 miles.

  Great for kids! Safe!

  It was a very relaxing experience, and everyone was extremely welcoming. Our grandchildren, who are 7 and 5, really enjoyed it. Ideal for families!

  Bad equipment

  The bike was inoperable. Although the staff were friendly, they attributed the issues to upper management. I found it difficult to obtain a refund using the third-party app.

  The staff is amazing

  Everything was fantastic. Though it was quite cold, the staff ensured we were all cheerful and made the experience enjoyable. The ride itself was lovely and pleasant.
