Les menhirs sont bien plus impressionnants qu'on ne le pense, et le cadre est magnifique. Le commentaire audio est bien construit et instructif. Plus d'une heure vraiment bien passée.
Walter H.
C'était une expérience existentielle et hors du commun. Tout était assez banal jusqu'à ce que nous atteignions les mégalithes, où j'ai été envahi par un sentiment d'émerveillement et de bien-être. À un moment, j'ai été baigné d'une lumière blanche et j'ai senti mon âme quitter mon corps. Tout ça pour 8,50 euros — ça vaut vraiment le coup.
Dom L.
Nous avons effectué une merveilleuse visite avec le Petit Train des Menhirs. À notre grande surprise, le guide audio était également disponible en néerlandais, avec une voix flamande — ce qui rendait l'écoute bien plus agréable !
Carine V.
Une excellente façon de voir les mégalithes, avec en prime un commentaire audio en anglais vraiment apprécié, pour que tout prenne sens... très bon rapport qualité-prix et vraiment incontournable.

Des personnes vraiment chaleureuses à la tête de ce petit train. Nous nous étions séparés et ils ont tout fait pour aider mon mari à nous rejoindre. La visite est intéressante, le train est confortable et les options linguistiques sont nombreuses.

Charmant petit train ! Nos enfants ont adoré chaque instant et ont tellement appris sur les pierres levées. Le guide audio est clair et captivant. Nous reviendrons certainement l'été prochain.
