Modern trainComfortAtmosphereNice staffPunctualityI really enjoyed the journey from Hamburg to Paris in second class, changing from the ICE to the TGV. Even in Hamburg I found a decent seat on the ICE, which was also comfortable. The transfer time at the station was well calculated, so there was no stress. In the TGV, I immediately noticed that it looked very modern and was clean. The seats were comfortable and the atmosphere was relaxed. There was a selection of snacks during the journey and the on-board staff were helpful. The connection worked smoothly and both trains were on time. When I arrived in Paris, I was more than satisfied with the journey. A clear recommendation.

The TGV itself offered a modern, very comfortable travelling experience with spacious seats and an overall high-quality impression. During the journey through France, you could watch the beautiful countryside pass by, while at the same time the train was pleasantly quiet and fast. I arrived in Paris on time and relaxed, so the whole journey was punctual and pleasant and I can recommend it to others.

The carriages were clean and in good condition, and the seats were comfortable enough for the duration of the journey. On a positive note, I noticed that despite the distance, many travellers were relaxed and there were no unpleasant disturbances. The staff seemed professional and endeavoured to make the service pleasant, even though the train was sometimes very busy. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to have enough space to myself during the journey and simply switch off or do things in peace. It was not only very clean on the train, but also in the toilets. The connection offers a pleasant alternative to flying and I would consider using it again for a relaxed journey between Hamburg and Paris. Everything ran on time

Place foundGood planningCleanlinessWe travelled from Hamburg to Mannheim on the ICE. The train was on time, the second class was decent, the seats and luggage racks were perfectly adequate. The journey was quiet and I was able to find a seat even though I didn't have a reservation. The announcements were understandable and helpful. In Mannheim I changed to the TGV to Paris. The train looked modern and pleasant as soon as I boarded. My seat was comfortable, with a surprising amount of legroom. During the journey you hardly noticed the speed, the train ran very quietly and smoothly. The staff made it through with one carriage and there were snacks and drinks without much fuss. The cleanliness in the carriage and toilets was also impeccable. Arrival in Paris was on time. Overall a relaxed, reliable journey that I would happily do again.
