This year in February I took a trip with Deutsche Bahn from Barcelona to Munich. The first thing to mention is that the staff were very friendly. The volume on the train was optimal. In addition, there were only a few changes of trains, so the journey was easy and pleasant. Unfortunately, the train did not arrive in Munich on time. The staff was unfriendly and you were not polite to your customers and very strict. The wifi on the train was very poor, which meant that my mobile phone such could not connect to the wifi at all.
