Super voyage
Superbes vues. Quand le train n'est pas complet, on peut changer de siège et profiter de toutes les meilleures vues.

Magnifique
Excellent trajet de 4h, personnel très sympathique dans le train et à l'accueil, vous pouvez acheter à manger ainsi qu'à boire. Les paysages tout au long du trajet sont incroyablement beau et vous avez 2 arrêts pour pouvoir bien photographié ? Je recommende

Beaux paysages
Jolie après-midi dans ce train d'époque. Très beaux paysages. Commentaires sympathiques du conducteur. Quelques bémols : - nourriture et boissons du café à bord de piètre qualité. - des passages avaient leurs pieds chaussés sur les fauteuils et les accoudoirs durant tour le voyage, aucune remarque du personnel. - prix plein surévalué

Superbe itinéraire
Très beau parcours dans un train confortable. Un bar bien achalandé propose des sandwichs de qualité, gâteaux, boissons. Il faut juste payer en espèces ou en carte à la fin du voyage. L'aller et retour ne m'ont pas parus longs car j 'ai pu apercevoir au retour des viaducs que je n 'avais pas eu le temps de voir. Superbe arrêt avant un magnifique pont très très ancien, marche sur la voir pour prendre des photos et le train nous récupère de l'autre côté. Au retour, un arrêt aussi très sympa à une toute petite gare . des explications, un wagon et une statue d'un chien. Vraiment une excursion à faire ! Equipe très sympathique, malgré leur peu d'expérience avec les fauteuils roulants.
