A relaxing way to see amazing scenery without the hassle of driving.

5.0A relaxing way to see amazing scenery without the hassle of driving. The train itself was very comfortable - large viewing windows, relatively quiet and with on-board catering/toilets available. We even saw seals and dolphins as we travelled along the coast!

4.0The views, especially along the coast, are wonderful. Friendly staff and fellow travelers were also a plus. And the open air car was fantastic. Unfortunately the commentary wasn’t functioning, which was quite a disappointment. And the food options could be better, though they were adequate.
Totally worth it!
