Reviews From Travellers On This Tour

Glenda Wall

Interrailingpackages is superior

11-Oct-2022

Interrailing Packages is a superior company to deal with. They were always very responsive & timely. Our 2+ week trip to Europe was well planned and all our trains & transfers were as reserved by Interrailing Packages. I would highly recommend using them for your travel needs. The app had all of our hotels and how to get to them from the train stations; things to do and see; and a wealth of additional information.

Chloe Mullins

I couldn't reccommend Interrailing enough

2-Nov-2022

I couldn’t recommend interrailing packages enough! It was so easy and efficient and takes all the hassle out of trying organise the trains and hostels and route yourself. All the hostels we stayed in were brilliant and in close proximity to the train stations which was ideal. The Tineri app has the whole trips itinerary downloaded along with any documents that were needed. We had no issues whatsoever and whenever we had any questions during the trip the team were very quick to reply to us. I couldn’t recommend them enough, we had the trip of a lifetime with no stress trying to plan it, it all ran very smoothly.

London to 7 European Cities in 14 Days

12-Aug-2022

We took a 2-week Europe tour with Interrailing Packages Ltd. They arranged for our train tickets and the hotels in 7 cities. Despite the hectic schedule, everything went smoothly. We especially would like to thank Donal for his immediate response for the issues we have encountered. This holiday is everything we imagined it would be. An absolutely brilliant experience with memories that will last a lifetime. We highly recommend this team!

Russ

Once in a lifetime trip

13-Jul-2022

Would definitely recommend to anyone considering doing an interrailing trip of their own. The train tickets and accommodation that were pre-booked all worked smoothly when boarding a train/checking in. It was also good that we had the option to change the interrailing package if we wanted to switch cities (even though we didn't). The only issue was with train cancellations and not being able to get a refund or exchange our tickets because it was booked via interrailing and not us. 4/5
