  • 1/5 Courtney C. 4 years ago on Google
    I would highly recommend not spending your money here. We had purchased a ticket for the 2:40pm. We got in line as one of the first people and about 5 min. after, a group of loud and obnoxious people crowd the entry way of where we were standing. They continued to inch closer and closer as if the closer they got the better chance they would at getting seats, yet we had been there first. That would not have been that big of a deal and I could of let that go until the group started yelling at us to go to the back of the line say their group was first. First off they did not have tickets, a lady was still standing at the counter purchasing their tickets. Second we had arrived first. Then the cake was topped with a cherry when the train conductor ushered us and the couple in front of us back to the tickets counter letting all the group people board the train first. As they departed the group waved back and laughed as if to rub it in our faces that they had gotten on the train before us. I was shocked at the disrespect and the fact the people of the company let it happen. I proceeded to go to the ticket counter to ask what had happened, he said back to us you can get on the next train or get a refund. No explanation, no apology. Not to us or the couple who had been screwed over as well. We decided to get a refund and not give this company our money for how we were treated. The couple in front of as did the same.

    Useful thing to do in Nice, if you have about one hour to spend you should take this train so you can reach the most beautiful viewpoint in the city without do effort climbing the city's hill.

    Really nice experience. You will spent around 1 hour visiting some of the most suggestive and fascinating Nice's places. Along the entire track a voice will guide you explaining something about the main historical events characterizing the place (you can select from 8 different languages). We paid 10 euro but childrens under 8 are for free. Absolutely suggested.

    Well worth the money. Headphones provided to listen to interesting commentary in one of several languages.

  • 5/5 Katarina C. 4 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed this experience. Would highly recommend this tour if you do not have much time to explore Nice. We went at 2pm on a Sunday and the train was half empty and we had no difficulty buying tickets. We were also offered student tickets for €8.

    (Translated by Google) We wanted to try the tourist train experience despite the negative opinions about the driver, we should have listened to them. He was rude to all the passengers and even addressed aggressively to an elderly couple. In short, 24 € for 2 for a smashed visit (Original) Nous avons voulu tenter l’expérience du train touristique malgré les avis négatifs sur le conducteur, nous aurions dû les écouter. Il a été désagréable avec l’ensemble des passagers et s’est même adressé de manière agressive à un couple de personnes âgées. En bref, 24€ pour 2 pour une visite claquée

  • 1/5 charlotte p. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We took the little train on September 12 at 2 p.m. for the panoramic tour to Castle Hill and we ran into a more than unfriendly driver. He spoke very badly to us and to the other guests. It might be wise to remind him that he works in the field of tourism and that kindness is one of the prerequisites in this field. The visit was magnificent (Original) Nous avons pris le petit train le 12 septembre à 14h pour le circuit panoramique vers la colline du Château et nous sommes tombés sur un chauffeur plus que mal aimable. Il nous a parlé très mal ainsi qu'aux autres clients. Il serait peut-être judicieux de lui rappeler qu'il travail dans le domaine du tourisme et que l'amabilité faire partie des pré requis dans ce domaine La visite quant a elle était magnifique

    Highly recommend the 'Castle Circuit' tour. Great commentary and easier than walking to visit Colline du Chateau. You have 10 minutes at viewing point. On the day I visited, the cascade was not in operation ☹️ Suggest getting to ticket office early to avoid disappointment during peak times, also check website for timetable updates. Good value.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice visit with memories in the eyes magnificent panorama (Original) Très belle visite avec des souvenirs plein les yeux magnifique panorama

  • 5/5 Elaudy 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Taken for the descent from the castle hill: fast, breathtaking view. Adequate price. I recommend ! (Original) Pris pour la descente depuis la coline du château : rapide, vue imprenable. Tarif convenable. Je recommande !

  • 4/5 Emma A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice walk, interesting anecdotes and explanations but not easy to visualize during the upper part. The little train allows us to take a break at the castle. (Original) Balade sympathique, anecdotes et explications interessantes mais pas facile à visualiser pendant la partie haute. Le petit train nous permet de faire une pause au niveau du château.

  • 2/5 Asma B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We paid 12 euros per person for a 55 min ride so we did 45 min, I didn't really like (Original) On a payé 12 euros par personne pour un tour de 55 min alors on a fait 45 min, j'ai pas trop aimé

  • 2/5 Marco R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A small disappointment. The audio is not very synchronized with the journey and, for the tourist route, only English or French can be selected (we had been advised previously). We went up during a period not yet covid free (compulsory mask in the premises), we saw that a hygiene of the handles was carried out at the end of the journey but no cleaning or replacement of the earphones (which are in common use, do not use and throws as in other tour buses). If you want to do this experience to reach the castle, know that when you reach the top (beautiful view of Nice) you will have 10 minutes before it starts again (with or without you). I recommend bringing a pair of headphones from your home. Personally, given the cost (€ 12) I recommend it only to those with very young children who do not want to walk, otherwise you can rent a bicycle and enjoy the same tour for a tenth of the price! (Original) Una piccola delusione. L'audio è poco sincronizzato con il tragitto e, per il tragitto turistico, si può selezionare solo la lingua inglese o francese (eravamo stati avvisati in precedenza). Siamo saliti durante un periodo non ancora covid free ( mascherina obbligatoria nei locali), abbiamo visto che è stata eseguita una igiene delle maniglie al termine del tragitto ma non è stata eseguita alcuna pulizia o sostituzione degli auricolari (che sono di uso comune, non usa e getta come in altri pullman turistici). Se volete fare questa esperienza per raggiungere il castello sappiate che arrivati in cima (bellissima vista di Nizza) avrete a disposizione 10 minuti prima che riparta (con o senza di voi). Consiglio di portare un paio di auricolari da casa vostra. Personalmente, visto il costo (12€) lo consiglio solo a chi ha dei bambini molto piccoli non vuole camminare, altrimenti potete noleggiare una bicicletta e godervi lo stesso tour ad un decimo del prezzo!

  • 2/5 anais t. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great walk, have discovered very pretty nice places. On the other hand, the reception spoiled the moment. No formula of politeness and courtesy. (Original) Super promenade, ont découvre de tres jolis endroits de nice. En revanche l'accueil nous à gâché le moment. Aucune formule de politesse et de courtoisie.

  • 3/5 Michel B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Always a cool way to visit spots in a city. Just a little disappointed with the lightness of the tour of the old town. (Original) Toujours une manière sympa de visiter les spots d'une ville. Juste un peu déçu par la légèreté du tour de la vieille ville.

  • 4/5 Laura M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting little tour of Nice and its old town to learn about its history and that of the monuments (Original) Intéressant petit tour de la Nice et sa vielle ville pour connaître son histoire et celle des monuments

  • 4/5 G it's m. 3 years ago on Google
    At around 10€ per adult, it’s a relaxing way for less able people and families with you children to see the promenade part of the old town and the chateau

  • 4/5 Phil D. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice way to go around Nice

  • 4/5 sylvie L. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 J. P. 7 years ago on Google
    a lot of different attractions during the whole year and always a nice place to visit

  • 5/5 BVCA C. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a cheapest alternative to Hop-on Hop-off. Excelente option for children. You can pass by the main Nice's sightseeings.

  • 5/5 Nadine A. 1 year ago on Google
    we had a very pleasant and friendly tour of the castle with the audio. salim the driver showed us the castle waterfall. very nice driver! if you are in Nice don’t hesitate to take the train my children loved it

  • 2/5 M L. 1 year ago on Google
    As soon as we set off we returned to the 'station' due to a puncture/flat tyre. All later services were cancelled so we never got to experience Nice from the train.

  • 1/5 Lala K. 10 months ago on Google
    Pity that the staff is providing a poor customer service and does not know how to apply the price list. A child as of 12 years old apparently costs like an adult and is not even classed as student. Pupil is not student but a normal adult. In addition a family with one kid is not a family as you need two kids for the price for family (2 adult +2 children) to be applied. So we decided not to take the train as the young lady at the counter just wasnt able to charge us correctly as per price list. Remember, the tourists might be annoying but they provide business and jobs for the town.

  • 1/5 Ayse Gul K. 11 months ago on Google
    We went to have the tour. Eventhough they mention that they do the tour hourly, we could not. As shown in the picture the take offs were cancelled. There was no explanation for reasoning either, neither on the website nor in front if the kiosk. So I suggest to call or confirm with them before making any plans.

  • 3/5 Jools C. 6 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Rainy day ride up to the castle and back. We were unimpressed by the ride and the commentary as we had already walked to all the spots covered by the train ride prior to the ride and had learned more about them from Google. But we did discover the castle, learned more than we already knew and discovered parts of the city that we didn’t know existed. Up to you to decide whether this is worth the €12.

  • 5/5 Adel B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting (Original) Intéressant

  • 5/5 John H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great way to see the more interesting parts of the city in one go. Do this on the first day and then pick out what you want to spend more time seeing later.

  • 3/5 B D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Disappointed, a large part of the course is of no particular interest, all with a poorly functioning helmet and in very basic comfort on the pavements! People with back pain beware .... (Original) Déçue, une grosse partie du parcours ne présente pas d'intérêt particulier tout cela avec un casque fonctionnant mal et dans un confort très sommaire sur les pavets ! Personnes souffrant du dos attention....

  • 2/5 Lady D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Visit which allowed us to see the city of Nice from above. However, having opted for the last visit at 6 p.m., the driver drove very quickly and quite brutally, not making the visit necessarily pleasant and not leaving us time to admire the landscape (the aim of the visit, however). (Original) Visite qui nous a permis de voir en hauteur la ville de Nice. Cependant, ayant opté pour la dernière visite de 18h, le conducteur conduisait très vite et de façon assez brutale ne rendant pas la visite forcément agréable et ne nous laissant pas le temps d'admirer le paysage (but de la visite pourtant).

But overall it's great without regret. (Original) Super balade vue panoramique incroyable petit bémol sur la visite un peu trop courte de plus le chauffeur est sympathique mais roule super vite dommage.

    (Translated by Google) There is no preferential route so little train, so most of the way we did it in a queue in traffic. The function of the other languages ​​in the audio guide does not work. (Original) Non esiste percorso preferenziale perciò trenino, quindi gran parte del tragitto lo abbiamo fatto in coda nel traffico. Non funziona la funzione delle altre lingue nell'audioguida.
