GBFailure 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...

NZAVOID THIS COMPANY AVOID THIS COMPANY Travelling from New Zealand ( thats 23 hour’s flying time people) for a trip of a lifetime We thought use a company with professional knowledge of Scotland Tours where organised that took us a whole day of travel, 12 hours, taking us back to within 20minutes of the previous day’s locations A sad and very upsetting experience. A company who know nothing about Scotlands geography A birthday ruined Money and time wasted After submitting the above posting I had an overnight response from Railbookers After sharing fully the double booking issues a refund was provided. In addition a customer care voucher in the amount of 150 pounds was also given by Railbookers. There were no delays to rectify my concerns A prompt and professional service was provided Well done Railbookers. Much appreciated.

GBGreat journey to, time in Cinque Terre, and journey home. This was a return visit to Cinque Terre & travelling there by rail was interesting. The villages are now very busy & you need to choose carefully where to go each day, remembering the paths can be very steep in the heat but the views are great. Many excellent bars and restaurants available. I can recommend the upgrade to first class for the longer rail journeys.

GBAgreement 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.

GBOur 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.
