We really enjoyed the train, the scenery was spectacular and the guide knowledgeable and had a pleasant voice. My husband feels refreshments would be a plus but I think delegated seats would be a plus. I would recommend this tour to other people.

Great Excursion

Sarah_G, Jul 2025

We were a little confused prior to boarding our train as the reservation was for 12:50 on loading platform 2. We watched another train with long lines of people waiting to board on platform 1 and it was 12:30. In hindsight I should have put two and two together finally asked at 12:45 and that was our train. Other than that it was perfect! We loved this excursion. It was comfortable and very informative.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Beautiful scenes - not...

JoAnne_H, Jun 2025

Beautiful scenes - not much time out of the train. Make sure you sit on the right side of the train for the best access to views

Response from Host, Jul 2025

We appreciate you mentioning the seating tip, as sitting on the right side does offer some fantastic views.

Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back one day for another scenic adventure!

Great afternoon out

Heather_M, Jun 2025

Great experience we absolutely loved the train journey it was a real highlight to our holiday, couldn’t fault that at all. Disappointed in communication at pick up point literally no one there to assist or tell us where to go, we were told to meet in the car park but no one showed up, we already had the tickets but we needed the golden ticket to alight the train, eventually we managed to find someone to help us (not from your company) and luckily got a seat together. If we’d waited where we were told to wait it could have been a different story! Nevertheless we sorted it out and the communication via email etc up to that point was spot on.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

We also really appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding the pick-up communication. We’re sorry for the confusion you experienced at the meeting point and understand how that could have been stressful. Your comments are very valuable, and we will definitely review our on-site coordination to ensure future guests have a smoother start to their experience. Thank you again for your kind words and for highlighting both the positive and areas where we can improve. We hope to welcome you back for another great adventure one day!

Golden train half the price of the cruise ship

Susan_E, Sep 2024

So east you step of your cruise ship and the station is there for the golden train just show your booking to a guard and on you hop very informative commentary on your journey I would get to the train at least 20 mins before departure because the people who booked with the ship will be trying to board and there will be loads infact they overbooked and some had to get off no seats left I would book with viator they are half the price

A great way to see the Rauma Valley.

William_R, Jun 2024

We were not able to get the regular Rauma Line train to Dombas but were able to get on the Golden Train to Bjorji and back. The scenery is amazing. The tour guide was hard to hear, but she did point out the major sites to see along the way. The right side of the train has better views, and it would be nice if there was a process to switch sides with other passengers so everyone got to see something different coming and going.
