Baltic Honeymoon
01-Sep-2023
Interrailing packages organized our honeymoon for us, we had an idea in our heads and they made it a hassle free reality by creating a custom package for us. We found the app useful, it was good to have all the information for our trip in one central place. It meant that we were able to just relax and enjoy it. The city guides were really helpful and informative, and we booked a lot of the suggested tours from the app and had amazing experiences. There were a broad range of things to see and do and really something for everyone. Interrailing packages paid attention to all the finer details for us, and we knew we were able to contact them at any time in an emergency, including when we lost our room key. Accommodation was always in a good location and to a high standard and it was helpful that they provided us directions for our transport and accommodation. Booking with interrailing packages is a great way to see less familiar places and to move between more than 1 location, following their recommendations. We were able to move between locations in Italy, Slovenia, and several places in Croatia over a period of 2 weeks and we found it to be great value for money. They have a friendly, trustworthy and reliable team. We would definitely recommend anyone to book with interrailing packages as they have something for everyone be it young or old, holiday or honeymoon.

Perfect blend of an organized tour and an on-your-own adventure. Staff were responsive, flexible and great to work with. We had no problems with anything booked by InterRailing (trains and accommodations). The app used to track our itinerary was very helpful. We'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

16-Sep-2023
Everyone at Interrailing Packages was so amazing and helpful! From the start of our trip planning, our plans and destinations changed multiple times prior to booking, and the team was so helpful in making our adjustments and giving us the best deals we could have asked for. They gave wonderful tips and instructions for our trip, which made everything a breeze! The hotel accommodations were all so charming and amazing, and we could not have asked for a better experience! The team was always so helpful and answered every question we could possibly have asked. Would definitely recommend using Interrailling packages!

Dream holiday
23-Aug-2023
Interrailing packages provided us with a fantastic holiday to celebrate our honeymoon. From start to finish the communication, planning and preparation was amazing. We felt ready for our adventure around Europe and knew that interrailing packages were at hand if we needed them. All of the rail passes and seat reservations worked and if we had a delayed train we were able to then change our reservations for the next train. We contacted the company via the out of hours number and Whats app and had a reply instantly to help us with our questions. Highly recommend this company!

London to 7 European Cities in 14 Days

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!

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.

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.

Trip of a Lifetime!
05-Sep-2023
We had a great trip, thanks to our custom interrail package! We had everything we needed, the trains were on time and ran very smoothly, and the hotels were good. The Tineri and Rail Planner apps were essential for keeping track of all of our documents, train times, and activities and the staff was super helpful answering all of my questions while planning for our trip.

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
