MariamD64 gave you the best advice. Although there is a lot to do in Chattanooga itself, there is much more in areas surrounding the city. But it all depends on your length of stay, ages to accommodate, and personal preferences. Also, check for any events during your stay. If you do the Hiwassee Loop, book the dome car. It is worth every penny. Tennessee is a beautiful state and has much to offer whatever your tastes.

We always do. The servers are paid like regular restaurants. Your service is much more attentive on the train rides. Therefore, we generously tip to Thank them for such great care. They know us by name now & even remember my wife has some special needs. Of course, if you don’t get good service, either lower the tip or cut it out altogether. I’m sure that TVRR would appreciate knowing if one of their servers isn’t performing up to their standards. We hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day & meal. I’ll bet you go home well satisfied.
