About a month ago, I took a trip from Munich to Freiburg with Deutsche Bahn. The train arrived in Freiburg very punctually. There were few changes of trains, which made my journey much easier. The price of the ticket was excellent. It was very cheap in my opinion. The seats were not very comfortable and not well maintained. The volume on the train was unfortunately not adequate. It was very loud! The staff were not very friendly either. Overall, a satisfactory journey.

I really enjoyed the journey and only have positive things to say. The train was on time and I had made sure when booking that I didn't have to change trains, as this made the journey much more relaxed for me. During the journey I had a good view of the passing landscape. The seats were very comfortable and there was working wifi. The train was also well cleaned. Very good value for money!

A few months ago, I travelled from Munich to Freiburg by train. I personally found the price of the ticket very fair. It was neither too expensive nor too cheap. The staff were very friendly and took a great deal of interest in clarifying my concerns. The journey time was also quick. However, there were a lot of transfers, which made the journey a bit tiring. In addition, the toilets were not cleaned and maintained and smelled bad. The wifi connection was also slow. Overall, a satisfactory journey.
