Nice to Paris | . | 2 April 2019
"Thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Seats were comfy, train was quiet, platform information easy to follow. So much of France we want to see but not enough time, at least we got to see more from the train. Book in advance - highly recommended "

Great way to travel | . | 2 April 2019
"The TGV train is a great way to travel, comfortable and great price. The only issue we had was working out where to go at the station, as they have numerous halls and the signage wasn't easy to distinguish, and with many staff not being able to speak English this didn't help. But overall, we were extremely happy. "

The TGV Experience | . | 2 April 2019
"The trip was fantastic and it was the best way to see the beautiful natural and historical countryside of France. The train was clean and well presented. The only criticism is that there could have been some English-speakers around at the time of departure. I made an attempt at French which was appreciated, however, ran into 1 cranky french station master. My dilemma was saved by a quick thinking English speaking security guard who professionally, politely and efficiently resolved the issue and successfully translated for me. Otherwise the TGV was a magnificent experience, you should be proud of this train, and we in Australia NEED THEM NOW!!!! Thank you Dr Andrew McFadzean "

Honeymoon trip in europe | . | 2 April 2019
"Me and my husband were gonna travel from London to Paris with Euro Star, however that day was snowing really bad in Paris. All trains were cancelled and we had to wait until next day to continue our trip. We were lucky that a man borrowed us his cell phone so that we could call the hotline to save two seats. I understand there was nothing we can do about the weather, but we were not happy with that because we had to pay extra money to rent hotel in London. Other than that, everything is fine. "
