Holiday Review

16-Nov-2022

Wow what a trip! So I have never been solo travelling before and wanted to be blown away and get the bug to do more. And I sure did. I blew me away!!! I went on the 4 week ‘Golden Ticket’ trip and it was the best thing I ever done. Not only did the company take all the stress out of finding good hostels but handle all my train tickets for me. The app is an absolute masterclass In guiding you on your adventure. Many times I relied on the app and it never let me down. The countries I visited were all beautiful in their own right and captured the true essence of travelling. This experience I shall never forget and I came back a different person. One with more confidence, less fear and more braver than ever. And the company took all the fear of the booking and unknown and boosted my ability to explore. So thank you. The 24 hr helpline and WhatsApp group is again another master stroke of this company looking after you. And to all those that helped me, thank you. I shall be recommending and booking another trip very soon. See you soon Interrailingpackages. Many thanks. Ross x

Amazing Experience

25-Nov-2022

It was a surreal experience to see most of the sites we usually see in movies or read about in books. From London to Amsterdam to Berlin to Prague to Budapest to Venice to Rome to Paris and back to London, it was amazing!

It was my first experience...

06-Sep-2023

It was my first experience with Interrail. I'm enthusiatic! The hotels were in a well centered position. The app helped me a lot for the trains, it is clear. I'm pretty sure that it won't be my last trip with Interrail!

Helpful advice & Assistance

21-Oct-2022

We explored and enjoyed each of the cities visited and wished we could stay longer. Prague, Berlin and Amsterdam in seven days was perhaps too compressed but our hotels were great - good locations, great breakfasts and their staff were very helpful with advice and assistance.

08-Apr-2024

I recently used Interrailing Packages for my family vacation, and I must say, it was an absolute game-changer. From the moment I reached out to them, their customer service was exceptional. They listened attentively to our preferences, budget, and travel style, and crafted a personalized itinerary that catered to our needs. The best part? I didn't have to lift a finger when it came to planning. Their team took care of everything – from booking flights and accommodations to arranging local tours and activities. The entire experience was seamless, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the destinations without worrying about the logistics. Throughout our trip, their support was unwavering. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, their representatives were just a phone call away, providing prompt and knowledgeable responses. It was like having a personal travel concierge by our side. Overall, Interrailing Packages exceeded our expectations. They took the stress out of travel planning, allowing us to focus on creating cherished memories. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a hassle-free and personalized travel experience.

Exactly as planned

08-Sep-2022

Interrailing Packages handled our two-week tour of Europe, and everything went exactly as planned. During the planning phase, they answered our questions very patiently and were very flexible. Most surprising was the quality of the hotels they booked for us - they were all perfectly located and very well-priced. We highly recommend their services and will definitely use them again. Special kudos go to Donal for patiently rescuing us, long after closing time, from being stranded in Rome during an air traffic controllers strike!

WOW!

01-Oct-2022

One word. Wow. Myself and a friend have always wanted to inter-rail and we were determined to find somewhere which would book it and plan everything for us. However that proved difficult with many company’s , until we came across these guys!!. The best. The amazing help and consistent contact from these guys made it possible we could do our trip. The team a special mention to Lauren who we pestered for months deciding on which cities and countries we would visit really accommodated us to ensure we stayed within budget but to also ensure we received the best experience possible. Furthermore, the rest of the staff donal, Lisa and Co were such a great help to me and Ella we arranged to head to their office and meet to have a chat before we headed off to ease our worries about train times etc. This trip wouldn’t have been as smooth without the guys. Thankyou again Donal and team. Ella & Emma x

Knowing our train seats were...

12-Apr-2024

Knowing our train seats were booked for the big days was so helpful and took away lots of stress - and our seat bookings were great! It was a fabulous way to travel. Also our Hotels were all pretty good - even our "shoebox" in London! We were close to train stations/underground/public transport and close to sightseeing via foot as well. It was evident that much thought had gone into our bookings. Could not have asked for a better experience!

15-Jul-2023

We planned our own 4-week trip and Interrailing Packages made it a reality. We loved the trains, the accommodation and everything else they booked for us, making everything so simple and stress free. We would definitely book with Interrailing Packages again in the future and recommend them to everyone else. Great communication, friendly staff and top notch travel arrangements. Thanks guys - we had a fabulous time :-)

It was a great experience....

19-Jun-2023

It was a great experience. The hostels were a new experience for me. I was also not used to all the public transportation. Plan on $150 - $200 extra for it. Some countries were cheaper than others. The Interrailing people were great about solving issues that we ran into.
