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

Julie and Maria miss the best bit
Loved the trip up to Pukerangi and were looking forward to enjoying the trip back especially the rocky gorge as we hoped to be outside,, while we were waiting on the return trip for food, we were in the buffet car and on return to our seats realised the best bit was already past. We felt like a couple of dolts but laughed. Well worth the money. Thank you. Just a suggestion for the food and coffee service. a supply of Nescafe coffee sticks would have been most welcome in place of a barista coffee (which wasn't on offer) and easy enough. Otherwise 10 out of 10

Cosy train, well structured , it was difficult to understand what the guide was saying but the trip was pleasant and the view was awesome. We strong recommend.
