Reviews Summary

However, some have reported negative interactions with staff, impacting their overall impression. The city tour is praised for its multilingual commentary and family-friendly features, while the mountain train is lauded for its breathtaking Pyrenean views.

"It was a fun and beautiful experience with my friends. We enjoyed the natural scenery and listened to the explanation and music. It was very wonderful."

22420104 Rahaf Dawood Mohammad Qawasma

"0 STARS. NOT WORTH IT. The girl who served us spoke to us horribly the entire time, in a very bad mood. She looked at us with disdain while we waited for the train to depart. She put us all in separate seats when there were plenty of free seats. She laughed at people, talked, and looked at us in the wrong way."

Jaume Solร 

"A very enjoyable experience to discover the picturesque city of Perpignan, perfect with kids as it limits the walking sans there is a special recording for them. Nice local music along the comments. A few tips: arrive at least 20 min before departure to guarantee a spot, it's a popular attraction in the summer, and if you need to park a car, go on a Sunday as parking on the street is free on Sundays."
