Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Paul BMonflanquin, France147 contributionsIf you are going to use the Metro, research where you need to go first to familiarise yourself. There's nothing worse than arriving somewhere and not knowing where you need to go. The Metro lines can be seen on Google maps and while it might not appear very direct, they are quick and the trains are frequent. The train stock is old and it shows, but it works. You have to open the doors yourself, both to enter and exit. The lines operate on a colour and number system. Tickets have to be bought before you get onto the platform. The machines have an English option, as well as German and Spanish, but English didn't work. Fortunately, we are reasonably competent, but still had to go through it two or three times to get the ticket. There are staff there to help, or you can go to a ticket office if it is open. You can buy a single, one journey ticket for two euros. Or, if planning multiple journeys, for another two euros, have a reusable plastic ticket with the amount of journeys required. This can be topped up.
There are stairs and escalators at the entrance/exit. We didn't notice lifts to help disabled, but might have missed them. We arrived at Paris-Montparnasse and the signs were easy to follow to our Metro line.
Toilets at Montparnasse cost one euro to use and were clean, but busy. You can use coins or card.Written 24 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Although strictly speaking not a funicular anymore it remains a lovely historic form of transport with good views and save a lot of effort climbing the stairs. We had learned from last year when the ticket machine was a nightmare and simply bought an extra metro ticket when travelling to Montmartre.Written 9 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoelAmsterdam, The Netherlands584 contributionsTaking RER or metro from here is fine. For buses it’s not so convenient as the buses depart away from the main station. Inside there were ‘t any particularly interesting shops. I’ve been to better places, I’ve also been to much worse. Overall, it was OK.Written 17 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- saniya j5 contributionsExcellent. I would give Marc 7 stars if I could. You will not find a better service than his. He is a born and bred Parisien and knows the roads better than anyone I have ever come across. Simply outstanding.Written 17 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BluebellplasnewyddCardiff, UK2,053 contributionsWe used the RER to transfer between Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon. You can buy tickets on Eurostar avoiding the queues at the station. The entrance to the RER is at the end of the platform when you arrive in Paris. However when you get down to the basement area there is quite a lot of walking with your luggage. You follow the signs to the RER and eventually arrive at the trainlines but it is not clear which actual line you take. There are no network plans as on the London Underground so it is best to ask one of the helpful staff. The journey took only about 8 minutes but the trains are filthy and crowded so you may not enjoy the experience.Written 11 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zelenko F1 contributionEurolines/toks Vilnius - Minsk, January 3, departure at 6:40. The driver swore at an elderly woman who simply asked politely if there was Wi-Fi. He said, "They'll lock you in a coffin, you'll be still demanding Wi-Fi from there." Then, at the Belarusian border, he rudely insulted Ukrainian citizens (including elderly women), because they were taking long to get through the Belarusian border(none of their fault, just a usual procedure now that everyone is used to). He shouted obscenities at them, saying, "stay in Ukraine," etc. This should be unacceptable in a European company. In addition, he used his phone more than once - talking and checking messages - while driving.Written 3 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- QuatrefillesBristol, UK22 contributionsAbsolutely disgusting health hazardous hole. How Paris gets away with this is a disgrace. Stinks if urine, rats running everywhere; one ladies’ toilet with no seat. The whole place will make you gag.Written 22 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- marcela v14 contributionsParis train robbery.
After passing with all my family at the val de l'Europe station, I went through the baby stroller entrance with my little girl (because the stroller could not fit through another door), the door was bad but I swiped the card anyway (and the ticket was loaded).
When I got to the train I was fined 35€ because the card was not validated even though the ticket was on the card and all the others were validated. We explained everything but in a VERY BAD MANNER and with little education they fined us and threatened to call the police and fine us more money.
I think it is a shame that because the machine was bad I have to pay 35€ more and he refused to give his information to make the claim.
I have the attached ticket number.
It is a shame the lack of equation and how they treat tourism especially with children.Written 12 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
