My journey from Milan to Nice was excellent. The price was very good, which is why I chose to travel by train rather than fly. The staff was extremely friendly, polite and respectful to all your guests. I was very impressed! In addition, the train arrived on time in Nice. However, I found that the reservation options were complicated and the volume was not appropriate. Unfortunately, no consideration was given to hygiene, as the toilets were not clean, hygienic or well-maintained. But overall a great and recommendable trip!
