Amtrak Goleta San Juan Capistrano recent customer reviews
My first Amtrak ride. It was awesome. Train was clean, seats are spacious and everyone was considerate. My girlfriend recommended I take it instead of driving to visit her. I was able to knit and comfortably read, which made the time fly. I see myself doing it again, next time I visit.
