Helpful, efficient service

May 2019

I went on the City Slickers Plus package back in May 2019. I was in Final Year of medical school and wanted to go on a big trip but just did not have the time to plan and book everything. The package was a great way to circumvent all of that! I loved the flexibility also, when I decided to stay an extra few days in London at the end of the trip, Interrailing Packages offered to make those reservations for me! The app with all of the itinerary was also fantastic. Everything planned out for you, hassle-free. Great discounts off city tours and sightseeing events through the company. The accompanying app included directions on how to get from each train to each accommodation etc. Even when minor potential issues arose, IP were so quick to get back to me and get it sorted. Zero issues with any of the trains or hostel check-in. Helpful, efficient service. Overall, a really fantastic experience and zero regrets! ...more ...less

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. ...more ...less

The best trip!!

31-Aug-2023

From our initial contact with Interrailling Packages to our last train home we had the best experience with this company! Every step of the planning and travelling was made so easy, stress free and everything was covered by Interrailing Packages! We had the best experience and saw so much during our trip! It truly is such a great way to see Europe and being able to customise a package enabled us to plan our dream trip! Donal and all the team really did do everything they possibly could to make our trip seamless and fun! Could not recommend them more😊 ...more ...less

Amazing Company who plan everything in detail

Amazing company who plan every detail out regarding routes and accommodation. And when needed they are always a email or call away if there is any issue! My interrailing journey was perfect and could not have been achieved with Interrailingpackages! 10/10 service! ...more ...less

Baltic Honeymoon

17-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. ...more ...less

Fabulous

July 2019

Just came back from a 2 week hotel package with my partner. What an absolutely amazing experience but most importantly how helpful the team at interailling packages were. They take ALL of the stress from traveling off your shoulders you pretty much just need to follow the instructions they give you and you’ll be fine. Everything is taken care of, from hotel directions, times of trains, phrase documents, itinerary, currency guide. The whole lot. Me and my partner will definitely be using this company again as well as telling friends and family about it. ...more ...less

Naoise Finnegan  

Great Trip

June 2019

I found it handy to have everything organised for me and the app was really helpful for planning my journey. All the hostels were nice and safe. The only issue I had was with the company thello for the overnight train. Any issue I had, didn’t have anything to do with interrailing packages. I felt booking through this company took a lot of stress out of the trip. ...more ...less

Patrick Allitt  

Super Job

31-Oct-2022

You took a lot of the hard work out of it by finding suitable trains for every leg of the travel and suitable hotels close to the stations. Once I had learned how to use the app, I found it adaptable and easy to use. It was particularly good that I could make quick, last-minute changes and still get on trains to places that I had not earlier planned to use. ...more ...less

Wonderful and Helpful team at Intertailing Packages!

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! ...more ...less

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 Wats app and had a reply instantly to help us with our questions. Highly recommend this company! ...more ...less
