Great ride in a beautiful city - The history was very interesting to learn, and I enjoyed the ride. There was a bit of bad weather and I was glad to have a covered place to view the sights.

Love a road train - Interesting commentary. Lovely buildings and some very nice views. A good way to see the Petrusse valley for those unable to walk down and back up.

First class - If you’re going to do this. Do it early in your trip. It’s a great way of getting around and getting your bearings. Very informative, the driver was great and very enthusiastic.

DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAPS! - Overall - it was OK, definitely could've skipped. Go only if you're bored and want to sit down for 35mins.
Note: Google maps took us to about 5 minutes away waaay down the hill. Search for the name instead, don't use the address.

Nice break from walking up and down hills. - Cute ‘train’ with narrow openings into the seats, narrow seats and not much leg room especially for a 6’5” tall husband and even me at 5’3”. While the website will offer you time slots for tickets, just get there and you can buy tickets directly and trains are every 1/2 hour. Headphones allow you to listen to your native language, however the stories didn’t match where you were in the tour. While it says there are two stops during the trip our train mentioned it however didn’t stop to let anyone off or pick up anyone. I think we saw areas of the city we would never have seen on our own and heard about the history of the city so that was of value.
