Trip and travel
A customer arrives after quite a long way. I want to ask about how he
has travelled.
What could I say?
How was the trip?
How have you travelled?
I'd like to have two alternatives: one with a noun (like 'trip') and one with
a verb (like 'travel').
Tank you.
P.S. By the way: Have I used the verb 'arrive' correctly here?

AnonymousA verbal form: Did you enjoy travelling?; Have you enjoyed travelling?These are certainly questions using the verb 'travel', but I don't think they are sufficiently synonymous with "How was the trip?" or sufficiently idiomatic to satisfy the conditions specified by the OP. Of course, in the final analysis, that's up to the OP to decide.
