Since writing my initial review of my… Since writing my initial review of my experience with Rail Bookers, I can't fault their response and the efforts they had to make to contact me. I have received reassurances that the glitch in their system has been rectified. That is the result I wanted.

Failure to provide quote or communicate I rang Railbookers a week ago to book rail travel London-Prague-Linz-London plus a hotel in Linz. I have used Railbookers several times in the past and been pleased with the service. However, on this occasion I was promised a same day call back with the quote - it didn’t happen. I chased it two days later and was sent a partial quote for the outward journey only. I have now been absolutely promised a callback on three more days, including today, when I was told that, if the responsible person didn’t call back, then someone else would do so. As a result, one week after my initial call I still don’t have a quote for this simple European trip. I don’t want to give up on Railbookers but no-one will contact me! Update: Since my post, Railbookers contacted me and I finally was able to confirm the booking just over a week after requesting a quote. Unfortunately, fares went up during the week's delay so the cost was higher; they couldn't book an international train from Czechia to Austria (I did it in 5 mins online); and then when the tickets were delivered, my name was wrong on two of them! That took another 24 hours to sort out. I am sticking with Railbookers based on previous good experiences, but I will post an update on here after the trip in July. Oh, and I am still looking out for the promised email from the Customer Services Manager but no sign of that yet...

Agreement and resolution After a prompt response from Railbookers and several followup conversations I'm editing my review. I specifically want to thank AJ. We agreed that mistakes were made during the booking process and also agreed to a satisfactory resolution.

AJ Lifshits is THE BEST My 30 years in Travel, there have been challenging times, as everyone would agree. I want to commend A.J. Lifshits for his exemplary work on an issue that caused me needless stress. I cannot thank him enough. He took care of the issue in a timely and efficient manner. KUDOS to A.J.

Our booking agent took particular care… Our booking agent took particular care to find hotels that catered for Coeliacs and provided additional information on other suitable restaurants. All of our journeys were trouble free. The QR code for the City Tour booked for us did not work and we hope they will refund for having to pay twice. Our only other comment is that we travelled by rail from San Sebastian to Bilbao, a very scenic route but the bus would have taken 3 hours less.
