Yes, for sure the meal was a rip off but I gotta say, when you where videotaping that train station I was almost in tears because it is so beautiful!!! What a beautiful spot in the world and thank you for sharing it with us. 😊
Oh, how nice! ❤ I was hoping to see some more trains on this channel. 😊 The others tend to show themselves more than the actual places. Thank you so much for putting in such an effort and creating really excellent content! 😊 And I agree with your comments about the "delicious meal" and the "gourmet meal". 😂
I took a train from Brussels to Bruges and I had to keep checking to see if we were still moving. The train was so fast and smooth. I took a train from Kingston to Toronto and by the time I got there I felt like I had been beaten up. Our trains here in Canada are horrible and it cost me $260.00 for a 2 and a half hour ride. You are so far ahead of us.
Brussels to Paris, I go 4-5 times a year, always pay 29 Euro, no need for 1st class. It gives no added value that 1st class the travel time is only 1hr 20min.
Your art is to conjure up an interesting, charming and informative film from an ordinary train journey!! Personally, I really like train travel. Looking out the window and watching the landscape rush by... just beautiful! Thank you❤
Beautiful... Antwerp station was like a movie set... Thank you for ur video.. Loved ur work.... These cities and towns and villages are master piece.. How to use money, land and resources in best way... It is a great example
I really enjoyed that video Doc. Although I enjoy air and train travel, I find on a train (even at 100mph+) you can still get a feel for a location that you cant at 38,000 feet. As always you cover everything (ps: Thanks for taking one for the team with that 'meal'. Made me laugh out loud when compared to dinner on Emirates or Singapore! Clearly Hobbit sized fare!)
Yes, the architecture of the train stations in Europe are so beautiful and grand!! I noticed when you were on the escalator in the Antwerp Station, you were going down and then you flatten out and moved like a moving sidewalk and went back to hoing down. That was on timing 21:03!! That was too cute for that escalator machine!! Also, you made me laugh at both times about the small tiny cute meal served in Premium Class!! ☺ Smile And then, I like you, would get up and go to the cafe!! Hahaha!! Yes, I saw the prices and I still would buy from. Yes, Europe's train systems are better than our here on the USA. And the biggest attraction is that the stations are locationed in the downtown city hubs. That is so nice!! I had that experience for me some years ago going from Paris, France to London, UK on the Eurostar!! If I would have flown it would have taken more time to and from airports and then to and from downtowns.
Finally, the sculptures in both Antwerp and there in Gare du Nord were really nice!! The first open hand sculptures in the color was very beautiful!! And the second red sculpture with the wings I guess was cute!!! Well, thank you as always for setting up your video trips!!! Your up coming trio of going to Africa on safari will be breath taking to see!!! From me, only my very best friend has been to Africa. He, Myron went to South Africa -Johannesburg back in 2018 I do believe. I told to us his points on OneWorld and he did for Business Class stopping in London and then continuing down. And I do have my Nigerian Uncle and cousins here in the states. So, now of my family members have done a safari!! I hope you and family were safe there in the wild!!!
Hello good sir! I have watched this and all your previous ones in a few day span as I haven't been able to keep up for a few weeks. Still loving the content and am greatly looking to see your upcoming safari trip. Stay safe !
I traveled with Eurostar from St. Pancras (where I spent a night at the beautiful Renaissance Hotel) to Bruxelles in Standard Premier and further on with Thalys in Premium last month. Experience in Eurostar was fine: Highly motivated crew, having fun and serving a simple, but really delicious meal, new and clean seats. Experience in Thalys was poor: One unmotivated crew member, serving a little cold something to eat in a wore out and dirty coach. I really hope, that Eurostar will bring their standards to run down Thalys in the merger...
👏👏👏 muchas GRACIAS , por permitirnos ver toda esta hermosura de CULTURA de otros países, desde mi bello país COLOMBIA le envío un saludo..... EXITOS y, SABIDURÍA...🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
I had been waited for train review from your channel for your time!! There are some other channels review few days train journey, and look forward to watch from your narrative!!
Ah Gare du Nord brings back memories of my train trip there. I was traveling from Luxembourg and I remembered on the ride into Paris I was wondering, “where is this train taking me?” 😂 Then I saw the station and wished I could explore it, but I had to run out to meet the car. Great video, again!
I loved the insight into the Amsterdam railway station and the lounge, and the premium class section looks incredibly comfortable. Your Eurostar first-class adventure from Amsterdam to Paris
It clearly indicates the focus of the content, highlighting the Eurostar first-class experience while also emphasizing the impressive speed of the journey at 300 km/h, making it Europe's fastest train. The use of capital letters and the exclamation mark adds excitement and grabs the reader's attention. Additionally, mentioning specific cities like Amsterdam and Paris appeals to travelers interested in these destinations. Overall, the title effectively conveys the key points and encourages potential readers to learn more about the Eurostar first-class service and the high-speed train experience between these two iconic European cities.
Brussel naar Parijs, ik ga 4-5 keer per jaar, betaal altijd 29 Euro, geen behoefte aan 1ste klas. Het geeft geen meerwaarde die 1ste klas de reistijd is maar 1uur 20min.
LTE now stands for Luxury Train Expert! ;) I have taken the Eurostar service once, from London to Paris. It was my first time on high speed rail and I had a wonderful trip.
Used them a lot for work trips - all business class seating, a more effective use of time than flying Amsterdam-Paris. The toilets are dirty fast without any cleaning effort to recover, and the wifi sucks for many years. The seats feel and look in need of replacement. One trip; you can buy quality sandwiches at the train station and ignore the food on the train - also saves you waiting on them to remove the services are use.
I really love when you visit Africa.... 10 toes down for me are the best trips and the views are breathtaking. We need you in Brasil in general and US(West coast/Alaska),and some Asians and middle east countries
oh thank you for showing me this wonderful architecture, really very beautiful, very classic😊and the information about the buildings is also very interesting🙏 But I don't think the Eurostar train is a luxury trip for a luxury Channel is it? it looks a bit simple. and I'm very surprised that the Eurostar train only stops in Aachen in Germany😢
fast train, but the service is soso...long ago I often travelled with the TEE 'Ile de France': excellent dinnerservice between Bruxelles and Paris-Nord but those trains took 5 hours from Rotterdam on towards Paris! may be the catering will become better with Eurostar: catering in the Amsterdam - London connexion is also better I found.
Greetings from Finland! I used this train on summer trip between Bruessels and Paris on the first class. Maybe next time Amsterdam-Paris because I would like visit on Holland and make another visit to Paris… I recommed to visit on Finland because our trains have space and temperatures are lower here…
Love the channel. Only thing I dislike is having to read so much text. And I end up missing out on enjoying the video because I'm busy reading. I'll take voice over text any day. Thanks for the cool video. Love trains.
Educational video. As usual in this channel I make a pause when each subtitle appears to read it and I resume the video because I can't read the text and watch simultaneously the video looking the details that I could miss.
Creo que tendría tambien una muy buena experiencia viajando desde Madrid a Sevilla en el tren AVE ( Alta Velocidad Española). España es uno de los paises con mas kilometros de vias de alta velocidad del mundo, sólo superrado por China. El viaje de Madrid a Sevilla se completa en 2 horas y media , recoriendo casi 500 Km.
Thalys trains need a bit of a face lift. Really worn out and grubby. I have travelled on Thalys Premium class a couple of times and from my personal experience, quality of service just keeps going downwards with every year. Few years ago a "delicious meal" at your seat used to be exactly that. A plentyful and delicious meal, good portions and quite the variety. Nowadays it's just not worth paying for Premium when you receive a standard light meal at your seat. The only advantage of Premium is still the lounge access (where you have), the flexible ticket conditions and the spacious /not so crowded cabin. Food as well as services on board need some improvement.
@@alexmcwhirter6602 true 😂 but then how you explain the service on the actual factual Eurostar where service is much better (food included). Those guys also hold monopoly. I think Thalys got a little lazy.
@@georgetoth55 Eurostar has always promoted itself as something more than a mundane train operator. In many ways it considers itself to be more like an airline. Its fares are high. It needs to offer a superior product.
The Antwerp train station is so beautiful. When I saw that delicious meal was in quotations, I thought “uh oh”. The meal looked like a unique snack. Lovely video nonetheless.
Would you ever do a video on a cruise ship, like one of the Royal Carribean ones? There's a lot of videos on cruise ships but none I've seen have the Luxury Travel Expert quality.
Thank you for sharing this well made and documented video. Who has the fastest trains France with their famous TGV from Paris to Nice, Spain with their AVE from Madrid to Barcelona, or The Netherlands with the Thylans aka EUROSTAR and/or Italy's TREN ITALIA Rome-Florence-Venice or Rome-Florence-Milan? What is the security on the train? You are right that premium meal is a rip off for what they charge on the train ticket and promote.
I like the way that you did not only show the train but also the most beautiful stations that it passes, like Amsterdam Central, Antwerp Central and Paris Gare du Nord. Some remarks though: the Gare du Nord is not the only station for fast trains. The trains to and from Germany stop at the almost adjacent Gare de l'Est. And the images of the surroundings the train passes were different from the route you describe: the train passed the station of Haarlem (also interesting though), at some point you show the part between Brussels Midi and Paris, but used the images from the part between Haarlem and Leiden. It seems to me that the train wore the name of Thalys, whereas nowadays the name on the old Thalys has also changed tot Eurostar, although the livery stayed the main colouring of Thalys. Nowadays most trains with that livery have a slightly different colouring and the interiorhas been refurbished.
Thank you once again for a nice Video, especially your well curated Music choice made me once again daydreaming. As for the "delicious meal"...well there's only one word. A totally joke... 😂 and a rip off. I assume a Ticket in Premium Class doesn't come cheap and one can expect a decent meal instead of that "nothing" they served on Board. I'm really looking forward to next weeks Video, because I just flew recently with Air France in Premium Economy and I was really impressed by them. We had one of the newer cabins and it was really comfy. Air France has really made a huge step forward within the past years.
your video, as always, is amazing, it's really well made and relaxing to watch (and makes me want to travel so much), but what a disappoinment this train! what kind of food is that?! and it seriously need a refurbishment 😓
well I am a former Flight Attendant here in the US. When I started flying in the 80’s we really had a nice First Class service , I Flew for the then USAir. But things kept getting worse as the decades went on so YES! That “Meal” is ridiculous but it’s a lot more then what you will get on a 3-4 hour fight in America today and it’s very sad what has happened to service, there just isn’t any service anymore… and I almost forgot! We don’t even have a real rail system in America. All we have is government subsidized Amtrak or AmTrash..it’s a joke
It's a pity that your ride was one of the old Thalys trainsets. they've been slowly retiring them as the newer generation of Thalys TGVs are put in service. Shame they don't let you know if it's going to be the old or new train, but I understand how difficult it would limit flexibility if they did. Still this one looked like it's longing for retirement, poor thing!
I really enjoy travelling by train. Both of those "meals" were disappointing, but at least there's the bar carriage if you need more food.....and beer.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a train and this reminds me why.. beautifully done video as always but the crowds and minimalistic amenities (not to mention “delicious meals”) put me off. At least when flying you avoid graffiti.
Hmm.. That Eurostar trip definitely doesn't look very premium. But at least efficient and quiet. Your safari looks amazing. I have been on quite a few but never seen leopard and hyenas so close and relaxed.
Yes, for sure the meal was a rip off but I gotta say, when you where videotaping that train station I was almost in tears because it is so beautiful!!! What a beautiful spot in the world and thank you for sharing it with us. 😊
If you were to visit Antwerp Central is the early 1990s it would have resembled London StPancras...just a decaying hulk (before restoration).
@@alexmcwhirter6602 well it sure is beautiful now 😊
@@andrea6421 Of course. As is StPancras.
This is a true taste and experience of good life, no any other heaven than this spectacular, elegant beautiful life

Antwerp Station, what a marvel! btw, also got curious about that stop at Haarlem.
Indeed, Haarlem was not right, that stop is not even on the speed track that Thalys travels on.. Must have been added because it's a noce station.
