Love a road train - Interesting commentary. Lovely buildings and some very nice views. A good way to see the Petrusse valley for those unable to walk down and back up.

First class - If you’re going to do this. Do it early in your trip. It’s a great way of getting around and getting your bearings. Very informative, the driver was great and very enthusiastic.

Great tour, highly recomend it! - Fabulous tour!!
1/2the price of hop one-off bus tour but worth twice the price!
It was a great way to see the lower town and audio was very informative - loved the voice of a little boy. The 2 voices kept my attention.

First time and it was fun - We arrived at the 2nd spot of the train. The guide told us to move to the 1st spot and wait there. We waited 30+ min before the train arrive, they were 10 min later than de time on the board. That’s fine, because we understand the busy road.
We bought a ticket by card at the guide. He told us to wait another 20 min for the other train, his train didn’t ride..
We did wait and we got on board. The driver went slowly 25km/h. I had fun on board.
It was a long wait after all, but a fun tour.
They tell you about the history of the places and you’ll understand the name of Luxemburg and you’ll hear stories about the castle of the king and where he sent his stuff to (Madrid).
I liked it. It was fun.

Cute - Very cute little train. Suitable for the very young or adults and older. Go on a cool day. Driver/host was very friendly, helpful and could speak multiple languages. Walking tours are very strenuous here (you are either going up or down, not many flats.) This was a welcome break.

Waste of money - The train ride is through traffic and it smells awful. I would even mind, but the guide you listen to is totally off, randomly stops in the middle of the story . Overall we didn't like it.
Plus the expensive parking, horrible traffic to get there and a traffic ticket for speeding 3 km ending up costing us 80Euro, since the rental car company charges on top of the 50euro ticket. You can't see the evidence unless you are personally present at the police station.
Luxemburg is not worth the trip. Go to Germany or France
