Gubbio Express is generally well-received as a fun and practical way to explore the hilly terrain of Gubbio without the physical strain of walking. Families with children particularly enjoy the 'little train' atmosphere and the educational audio commentary provided during the loop. However, opinions are divided regarding the route; while some find it a great overview, others criticize it for spending too much time on the outskirts rather than the historic center. Wait times can be significant during busy periods, sometimes exceeding 45 minutes, and the ticketing system does not always guarantee an immediate departure. Despite these logistical hurdles, many visitors find it a nostalgic and comfortable way to see the sights. Overall, it serves as a convenient introduction to the city's layout for those with limited mobility or young kids.
