😠 Ashamed! We went to the pick-up location of this little train on a Sunday two weeks ago at 6 p.m. The driver, after dropping off the previous group, was rude and told us that if we came for the visit he would be very surprised that it would take place because it required a minimum of ten people ......

    (Translated by Google) Ashamed! We went to the pick-up location of this little train on a Sunday two weeks ago at 6 p.m. The driver, after dropping off the previous group, was rude and told us that if we came for the visit he would be very surprised that it would take place because it required a minimum of ten people ... However, we were only only 6 including a couple of English tourists. The driver did not want to know anything, despite the presence of two very disappointed children, and it was with a small disdainful smile and 'after waiting for the cathedral chime to ring at 6 p.m. that he announced to us without even a word of apology that the visit would not take place. Really pitiful and heartbreaking! (Original) Honteux ! Nous sommes allés au lieu de ramassage de ce petit train un dimanche il y a deux semaines à 18h. Le chauffeur, après avoir déposé le groupe précédent, a été désagréable et nous a dit que si on venait pour la visite il serait très surpris qu'elle ait lieu car il fallait un minimum de dix personnes...Or, nous n'étions que 6 dont un couple de touristes anglais. Le chauffeur n'a rien voulu savoir, malgré la présence de deux enfants très déçus, et c'est avec un petit sourire dédaigneux et 'après avoir attendu que le carillon de la cathédrale sonne les 18h qu'il nous a annoncé sans même un mot d'excuse que la visite n'aurait pas lieu. Vraiment pitoyable et navrant !

    A great way to see the main sights of Metz. Book online or pay the driver on the day.

    Booked tickets online. Waited for the train. Just to find it's booked out and the next available tour would be in 4 hours. Tried to do a direct refund as we were only spending the day here ..... Even that seems complicated. So my 1 star is not a review of their service, but lack thereof.

    (Translated by Google) Avoid for your safety The worst tour of my life !! Unpleasant driver as possible !!! Do not hesitate to shift in the left lane so as not to let the cars pass, and suddenly balance the passengers while taking risks !! How the city can let such a driver hit the road !! A real shame! (Original) A eviter pour votre securité !Le pire tour de ma vie !! Chauffeur desagreable au possible!!! N hesite pas a deboiter sur la voie de gauche pour ne pas laisser passer les voitures, et balance pour le coup tout les passagers en prenant des risques!! Comment la ville peut laisser un chauffard pareil prendre la route!! Une vraie honte!

    (Translated by Google) You can get to know Metz quite well with the little train. We sit here in the little wagons and gamble through the city. And we pass all the major sights of this city. It's fun and very convenient if you've walked around a lot beforehand. Let's go! (Original) Mit dem kleinen Zug kann man Metz ganz gut kennenlernen. Wir sitzen hier in den kleinen Waggons und zockeln durch die Stadt. Und wir fahren an allen bedeutenden Sehenswürdigkeiten dieser Stadt vorbei. Das macht Spaß und ist sehr bequem, wenn man schon vorher viel rumgelaufen ist. Also los!

    (Translated by Google) Perfect way to discover the city. Tour is too long for small children. Takes about an hour. You can pay the moment you board. Driver was very friendly and drove well. Truly an experience not to be soon forgotten (Original) Perfecte manier om de stad te ontdekken. Tour is wel te lang voor kleine kinderen. Duurt ongeveer een uur. Je kunt betalen op het moment dat je instapt. Chauffeur was heel vriendelijk en reed netjes. Echt een ervaring om niet snel te vergeten 😁

    (Translated by Google) What a desappointment !!! I am messin and I am disgusted to see what we propose to tourists! Home deplorable, if we do not like the customer must do another job! When at the circuit, do not even go to the door of the Germans, nor to the water, for example ... Ashamed !!! Not to mention the customers who are waiting at Pompidou and can not climb due to lack of space ... A beautiful masquerade !!!! (Original) Quelle déception !!! Je suis messin et je suis dégouté de voir ce que l'on propose aux touristes !!! Accueil déplorable, si on n'aime pas la clientèle il faut faire un autre boulot !!! Quand au circuit, ne passe même pas à la Porte des Allemands ,ni au plan d'eau, par exemple... Honteux !!! Sans compter les clients qui attendent au Pompidou et ne peuvent monter faute de place... Une belle mascarade !!!!

    Le Capitaine du petit train (saison 2024) est particulièrement aimable. Merci à lui pour son attitude chaleureuse et déstressante.

  • 4/5 Mikhail R. 1 year ago on Google • 36 reviews
    Suitable option to see the city around if you only have 1 day for sightseeing. Sometimes get overcrowded and you may not fit into the train, better get in the line 40+ minutes before the train departs.

  • 5/5 Maeva P. 5 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    Visite très intéressante et complète ! Nous avons vu beaucoup de beaux monuments et le petit train est très agréable. Nous conseillons de réserver votre visite à l'avance ou de venir bien avant les heures de départs, le train se remplit vite !

  • 5/5 Elizabeth G. 2 years ago on Google • 25 reviews
    This little train took us on a fabulous ride all over town. The tour lasted about 40 minutes. You get to see all the highlights of this lovely town. You have language choices to hear the recording in your own language. It's great, do it if you're in the area. The cost is 8 euro per adult. They have discounts for families.

  • 3/5 Edward B. 1 year ago on Google • 16 reviews
    This is the longest one of these you’ll ever go on. 80% fascinating history, 20% pointless stats. Could be 20 mins shorter.

  • 3/5 Wolfram B. 1 year ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Don't bother buying tickets in advance at the tourism office, it didn't save us a place on the train (and we had to take the next one). Be there 30 min before and just take a seat. You can pay the driver directly. Apart from that inconvenience it was a relaxed drive around town with beautiful things to see. The audio guide is sometimes hard to understand. The music between the comments in the audio guide is kind of annoying(ly loud).

  • 3/5 Jannie P. 4 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Vermakelijk. Informatie over de vele verschillende steensoorten wordt afgewisseld met haperende deuntjes.

  • 5/5 Bastiaan 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Leuke en informatieve tour door Metz, op een ontspannende manier. Geeft een goed beeld van de stad Metz, niet alleen van het historische centrum, maar ook van de 19de-eeuwse wijken en de moderne wijk achter het station. Zelfs een goede audiotour in het Nederlands. Ik moest glimlachen dat de tour ook langs het handbalstadion gaat. Blijkbaar hoort handbal bij Metz en ik vind het leuk dat de tour ook een beeld geeft van het leven in het Metz van nu.

  • 4/5 Monika S. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) On the southeast side of the cathedral, right at the entrance, the city tour starts with the small train. There are explanations of the sights in 5 languages, No. 3 is German. (Also 1 = French, English, Dutch and Italian). In between music. So you can win in an hour for 7 euros an overview of the old town, the district, as Metz was German and the new quarters. Cash is collected in the train. (Original) An der Südostseite der Kathedrale, gleich bei dem Eingang, beginnt die Stadtrundfahrt mit dem kleinen Zug. In 5 Sprachen gibt es Erläuterungen zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten, Nr. 3 ist Deutsch. (Außerdem 1= Französisch, Englisch, Holländisch und Italienisch). Zwischendrin Musik. So gewinnt man in einer Stunde für 7 Euro einen Überblick über die Altstadt, die Viertel, als Metz Deutsch war und die neuen Quartiere. Kassiert wird im Zug.

    (Translated by Google) Some interesting elements but not to take Pompidou otherwise 1 / 2h stop at the cathedral, in full sun, without being able to leave the train at the risk of being stolen places. Classical music all the way that is not to the taste of the greatest number (Original) Quelques éléments intéressants mais ne pas prendre au Pompidou sinon 1/2h d'arrêt à la cathédrale, en plein soleil, sans pouvoir quitter le train au risque de se faire chiper les places. Musique classique sur tout le trajet qui n'est pas au goût du plus grand nombre

  • 5/5 Jw M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The train shows you sights that you would not think of yourself. The train offers the possibility to take the guided tour in 8 languages ​​so that you understand where and what Metz is.

    déçu par ce train touristique à Metz, plus cher qu'à Nancy. j'ai des appareils auditifs et à Nancy aucun souci, à Metz très difficile d'entendre les commentaires. en plus une roue du petit train a crevé donc encore plus difficile d'entendre. je déconseille désolé.
