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

Amazing Company who plan everything in detail

29-Nov-2022

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

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

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

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
