10/10 - 10/10 took this trip for Part of our anniversary and had the best time! Would recommend to anyone looking for a day out and something different. Worth every penny. Staff was AMAZING!

Just amazing! - It was an honour and a privilege to have the opportunity to go on this very special trip. Staff were very helpful and attentive at every point: booking, finding the parking and departure point, checking in, obtaining refreshments, boarding, during the journey and after the trip. The journey must take extensive planning, but it was as smooth as if they did it every day. There were many things to take in: the different communities as you travel along the line, the jaw-dropping scenery on both sides of the train and the charms and delights of the Elgin Railway Market! If you can get to Cape Town this should be high up on your list of things to do! Please do your best to try and experience this trip - you’ll never forget it!

Excellent steam train experience ❤️ - Such an amazing trip on a vintage steam train with a friendly crew, delicious coffee and stunning views along the route. Higlhy recommended!

A perfect way to soak in the beauty and have a really fun filled day out. Relaxing and great fun for all ages. - Highly recommend this outing! Staff are amazing! Well informed, friendly and accommodating. I was particularly charmed with several rubbish collection rounds performed by staff. I live in Cape Town and I am very familiar with the Elgin region, but this trip really allows one to fully enjoy the glorious views in a the most charming manner. The market is everything you would expect from an epicurean weekend market with live music and sleeping cats.

An experience to be remembered forever. - An outstanding day, meeting and beating all our expectations. My septuagenarian partner was beautifully childlike in her excitement on the wonderful train ride, enjoyed in our own old-fashioned carriage coupe. The railway market was a delight - so outstandingly created in art-deco style to resemble a train station from the early 1900s. Ceres Rail staff were beyond exceptional - helpfulness, attentiveness and friendliness personified. 1000% all round!

Anniversary treat. - Words cannot express what a wonderful, truly wonderful experience we had. Would do it again in a heartbeat. The train brought back memories and what an exceptional staff family who treat everyone with friendliness and care.

Mother's day treat - Amazing experience. Lovely views. Excellent service on train. I would highly recommend The day was a treat all around. Both on train and at market

Great steam trein memories to last a lifetime. - The trip was amazing, friendly staff and lots to eat and drink, we enjoyed every moment. Did bring back lots of good childhood memories with my family. My father was a train driver for his entire life.

Best experience in Cape Town - Kudos to the team, always a wonderful experience being on the train, pleasant staff, good coffee and drinks, and lots of opportunities for taking great photos. I cant wait to hop on the next one!

Great Experience - This was a very good experience. However it was disappointing to see people who have not paid for bar lounge sit there through out the trip. That should not be allowed. It's unfair that we paid R900 each and they paid half of that to enjoy the comfort. The bar was stocked well however, it would be nice to have other wines apart from only pinotage. The time at the market was too short. We barely had time to shop, it was only enough to buy food and eat
