When my husband and I...

09-Jan-2025

When my husband and I were looking to book our European trip, there were so many options that were go-go-go packed and all involved bus travel; we wanted something that allowed for our own easygoing itinerary and the quintessential European travel element that is train transportation. The ease of Interrailing handling all the accommodation and booking our trains was such a weight off our shoulders. If you have preferred travel times (earlier trains/later trains), you can advise them and they’ll take that into account when booking for you. Our hotels were also a mix of modern conveniences and old European, which we loved in different ways. The only thing I’d comment on is the app doesn’t seem the most user-friendly to someone who may not be tech-savvy (the arrangements could be designed better/simpler, but that’s just me), but it had everything needed in one place and that was just so convenient. Thank you to the whole team for providing such a smooth experience. I would book again a thousand times over. ...more ...less

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 ...more ...less

Great variety--palm trees to glacial caves as well as lots of food options along the way. :-) The prearranged excursions as well as those we reserved ourselves were interesting and enjoyable. The InterRailing tour gave us a good taste of what could be called the heart of Switzerland...which gave us a desire to see much more of that beautiful country. ...more ...less

It was the best experience....

19-Jul-2024

It was the best experience. Took all the hassle out of organising, booked all the trains and accommodation, was brilliant. The app was so easy to use, had all the information required. What trains and metros to get, directions to each accommodation and google maps links embedded. Highly recommend using this company and will definitely be using them again myself. ...more ...less

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!

27-Jul-2024

The planning was really good, allowing us time to get trains and enjoy destinations. We found the apps for train tickets, hotels and the itinerary straight forward and reliable. We also had flexibility to do things we wanted, like lake cruises, cable cars up mountains and to explore towns and villages. We had a wonderful experience. ...more ...less

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. ...more ...less

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. ...more ...less

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. ...more ...less
