Switzerland and Canada
I first used Railbookers to organise a trip to Switzerland in March 2026, Asheca was brilliant both on the phone and via emails. I have now organised a trip to Canada for July 2027 through Railbookers, who have made the experience so easy and pleasant. Due to me wishing to change the flight schedules from the original itinerary, I have had contact both by email, and telephone with members of Railbookers staff. All have been courteous, understanding, and professional in catering for my changes. Thanks Asheca, Mia, Katherine and Carley.

I wanted to take a moment to recognize…
I wanted to take a moment to recognize the outstanding customer service I’ve received from the Railbookers team.
Over the course of working with two different clients, I had the opportunity to speak with Samantha, Maxwell, Davis, and finally Kelli Lundquist. Every single interaction was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. It’s rare to call customer service multiple times and consistently receive that level of service from everyone you speak with.
I especially want to recognize Kelli Lundquist. I called to make a payment and also needed to change a hotel room from one bed to two beds. Not only did she immediately know the available options, but she also explained them in a way that gave me complete confidence in her recommendations. She found another hotel that not only met my client’s needs with two beds, but actually saved them money. Even more impressive, she took the time to explain why she preferred that property, noting it was in a much better location with restaurants and attractions within walking distance, while the original hotel was more isolated and would have required transportation to get into town.
Listening to Kelli describe Alaska, it honestly sounded like someone who had been there many times. That kind of firsthand knowledge and genuine enthusiasm is invaluable when you’re helping clients plan a vacation.
As a travel advisor, outstanding supplier partners make all the difference, and the Railbookers team has certainly earned my confidence. Thank you to Samantha, Maxwell, Davis, and especially Kelli for making every interaction a positive one. Please pass along my appreciation—they’re a tremendous asset to your company.
Thanks again for taking such great care of my clients and making my job easier. It’s truly appreciated.

Less support than I expected
I think i could have bought my train tickets and Hotel accommodation direct and it wouldn't have been any harder and would have saved me money but if you feel less confident then Railbookers is probably a good option.

Hello Anne,
Thank you, Anne, for taking the time to speak with me. We appreciate the opportunity to discuss your experience and better understand what occurred.
We are also glad we had the opportunity to review your concerns together and explain the circumstances surrounding the issues you encountered. We understand how concerning it can be when a driver is not immediately located upon arrival, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.
As discussed, the designated meeting point for the private transfer was clearly outlined in the detailed itinerary included with the Travel Documents. In the event the driver could not be located, both the local transfer provider's contact information and Railbookers' 24-hour emergency assistance numbers were also provided so immediate assistance could be arranged.
We regret the delay in locating the driver and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We are pleased the transfer was ultimately completed successfully and hope you enjoyed the remainder of your journey.
Kind regards,

Disappointed Customer
this is my third time booking with railbookers my first trip was Switzerland it was an amazing trip however as I was there I was checking my rail tickets and I was missing my last train I was able to contact them and they faxed over my ticket to the hotel with just minuets to spare, my next trip was last year in Canada again a great tip however they included a trip up to a sky resort from Lake Louise however there was no transportation from the hotel to the sky resort so I never got to go, I was about to attempt a walk it was about 2 miles however the hotel said no there are wild animals around and wouldn't recumbent it. my third and most defiantly last trip is coming up in August 2026 to Scotland I booked this trip last year May 2025 because I wanted to get the Harry Potter train first class which they confirmed last year, and just now a month before the trip they told me it was not available so I would be in standard class. this was very upsetting many because im a single traveler they bumped me for a couple I will never know the reason, so this is definitely my last trip with them.

Hello Harry,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It's disappointing to hear that, after enjoying your Switzerland vacation in 2018, your more recent experiences have left you feeling let down. While we're sorry your travels didn't unfold as you had hoped, we'd like to provide some additional context.
Regarding your Switzerland trip, we sincerely apologize that one of your rail tickets was inadvertently omitted from your travel documents. Thankfully, the missing ticket was provided before it affected your journey, allowing your travel plans to continue without interruption.
We're also sorry to hear about the transportation challenges you encountered in Canada. While the gondola excursion was included in your itinerary, transportation to and from the attraction was not part of the package. As outlined in the travel documents, some hotels may offer complimentary shuttle service, and guests are encouraged to check with the hotel directly regarding availability. Had we been made aware of the issue while you were traveling, we would have been happy to assist by contacting the hotel to help determine what options were available. Although transportation was outside the scope of your package, we were still pleased to extend a goodwill gesture in recognition of your disappointment.
We also understand your frustration regarding the Jacobite Steam Train on your upcoming Scotland vacation. This season was particularly challenging, as the operator delayed the start of service, resulting in an exceptionally high volume of guests attempting to secure reservations once tickets were released. Our team booked your seats as soon as inventory became available; however, First Class had already sold out. Rather than have you miss this iconic experience altogether, we secured Standard Class seating, adjusted your reservation to reflect the fare difference, and provided an additional goodwill gesture in acknowledgment of your disappointment.
We never want a guest to feel that their concerns have gone unheard. While some aspects of travel are outside of our control, we remain committed to being transparent, finding solutions whenever possible, and supporting our guests every step of the way. We appreciate your feedback, and we will continue using it to improve the experience we provide to future travelers.
Kind regards,

twice bitten!
This is the 2nd poor review i have posted about this company....we (my wife as a 70th birthday surprise) booked a very expensive trip but i was then sadly hospitalised before our departure...all we wanted to do was postpone but there was zero customer service apart from "please see out T & C's"...i then emailed the CEO's office but nothing!..so 100% loss!
Stop Press..my disappointment was picked up by customer services whose response was highly professional and has restored my faith … thank you

As an agent
As an agent, Railbookers is my go-to supplier for any custom rail trip I curate for my clients. Their inventory for rail, hotels, and excursions are far superior to others in the industry. My trusted Account Executive, Claudio Marin, truly is a mastermind - there is no trip too small or complex in which he doesn't come out the hero. His timeliness, attention to detail, and overall passion for travel comes through with every itinerary we collaborate on.

Fail even before we started
Inquired last week about a trip and worked with them on some customizations for Edinburgh return/departures, responded back Friday afternoon with email requesting a call to book the trip, no reply so I called back the following Monday morning only to find the flash sale over and our discount no longer on offer and management unwilling to honor the deal even though there was no mention of the sale ending on Monday or attempt to return our call before that. VERY poor form; I had my doubts about his company looking at reviews and the slow response to travelers with difficulty, but thought we might see how Railbookers worked in practice, well I guess we got our answer. They couldn't get it right even BEFORE the start.
UPDATE; After an hour I was called and informed Railbookers WOULD honor the discount. All this angst could have been avoided had the company informed me when the sale ended.
