  • "clean "    
    very clean and comfortable but wifi wasn't good    Convenience
  • "Christmas Vacation from USA"    
    The train ride was very good except for the luggage aspect. If you have multiple bags (which people from the US on a long trip may have) then it's difficult to find space to store your luggage and no one is assigned to help out. There were many people who didn't have seats. Thankfully, my wife and I booked assigned seats.    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Straightforward trip"    
    The tickets came on time although you may wish to consider online tickets :) The train was fairly easy to find. It was a busy service but fairly comfortable. The wifi was terrible and it stopped at one station for so long, I think I could have walked the entire length of the train a few times!    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Fantastic"    
    The only way to travel in Europe, no security checks, no arriving two hours before departing, comfortable seats, fantastic service. Fares were very reasonable for first class travel. We wish it was that easy to travel in Canada.    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Best way to travel in Europe"    
    Train carraige clean and comfortable, Quality of food and service very good. Most important it runs on time to schedule.    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Budapest- Vienna trip review"    
    all in all a very enjoyable experience.    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Business trip"    
    A very quiet and comfortable ride, beautiful scenery along the way. The seating are well organised. Seats are clean and seat no is easy to find. Very pleasant ambient.    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Europe trip"    
    The biggest difficulty was with luggage. My wife said she traveled first class on another carrier and though this was comfortable, it didn't seem so first class. Seemed more like comfortable business class.    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Amazing service"    
    I travelled from Zurich to salzburg. It was amazing conveniance as well as comfort. Scenery was great as well. However I used first class train that should have been more spacious and reclining seats should have been with leg cusioning as well    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Convenient,clean and reliable"    
    This trip of about 2 hours    Value for money  Convenience
  • "The better option for tourists"    
    The train service was very comfortable, clean and with excellent service for breakfast served at one's seat in the first class coach.Picture windows afford a wonderful view of the passing countryside while free wifi keeps you connected to the world ! would definitely recommend this is an option.    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Comfortable "    
    Had a wonderful experience    Value for money  Convenience
  • "Vienna_salzburg"    
    No issues. Train very nice. Spacious seating. On time  
  • "Convenient. Trouble boarding. "    
    My cousin and I arrived at the platform about 20 minutes prior to departure. We reserved our seats when we purchased our tickets, which I recommend! Boarding was very difficult. There are no rail attendants or cart attendants so tourists are helping one another figure out what to do. The carts are not noticeably marked but luckily, we boarded the cart our reserved seats were on. Many people have luggage and there isn't much space so people were literally pushed up against one another, in the walkways etc. trying to find their seats and a place for luggage. After about 15 or so minutes of craziness, everyone had a seat and it was calm.    Value for money  Convenience
  • "comfortable scenic travel"    
    Would help to have information with the tickets re: availability of restaurant car for each leg (there was none on the 2nd leg) exact location of the initial train station The change of trains at Villach was very short. So, as it was between separate platforms, it was not friendly to the old or less mobile. Also, the information given by loud speaker on the train was no easy to understand, and no immediate information was given on the arrival platform that was easy to access for those not used to the local signs and systems.    Value for money  Convenience
