Friendly and helpful staff

Knowledgeable and very helpful staff.

Booking made easily and efficiently. Member of staff was friendly and helpful.

Highlights of the Glacier Express.
Amazing experience helped by great Rail Journeys great admin and organization of the tour to cram in as much as possible, without being uncomfortable. So many delightful sights and experiences. Hotels as expected for the price point.
Aubrey, the tour manager was exceptional. Frequent WhatsApp messages kept us fully informed, with daily reminders and advice for free time. Aubrey was so good natured, helpful and supportive of all members of the group. He went above and beyond his job description!

We were warned to only have small bags we could carry and manage ourselves on the trains. Many ignored this request and came with big heavy bags. Aubrey willingly helped with all the bags.

Booking was very efficient & very quick

The person doing our telephone booking was very professional, friendly, efficient and organised.

Very polite telephone communication, and very helpful service. The staff seemed genuinely interested in getting a good result for the customer.

Helen was very knowledgeable and helpful, and advised us as to the suitability of our choice of holiday, and the extras we could add to make the trip very special.

Straightforward booking process. Brochure and website adequately described the chosen holiday.

Fabulous friendly but professional member of staff. All our questions were answered and we felt that our needs had all been taken into consideration. Would definitely recommend.

Helpful and well informed staff as always

Do your homework. I recently completed a tour with Great Rail journeys and unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. While the itinerary had potential, the execution was lacking in two major areas:
• The Hotels: one being below the standard promised. For the price paid, I expected much better quality and comfort. We had paper cups in our rooms to make hot drinks which was a serious health hazard.
• Restaurant: Below standard expected. Raw chicken was served.
• Train Logistics: Prospective travelers should be aware that you are responsible for hauling your own luggage on and off trains. This became a significant issue due to the layout of the carriages; we were often booked in upper levels with very steep, narrow stairs.
• Group Pace: With a large group, the 'slowest person' rule applies. Between the heavy bags and the difficult stairs, transitions were stressful and slow. We ended up helping those who were struggling.
If you have mobility concerns or expect a certain level of hotel quality, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

This is our first time booking a fly & rail trip. We booked for a trip in June, but the booking & customer service has been excellent.
And only recently have booked another trip to Florence Italy for September.
We will certainly tell you about our experiences once we return.

I was quite surprised but very glad to be able to speak to someone at your office yesterday Sunday 19thApril. (Helen)who very professionally was able to make the reservation for the Italian Lakes holiday which my wife and I had chosen to go on in October. Looking forward to the continuation of your excellent service Thank You. James Haslett.

I always get to talk to someone quickly. Nice manner and the assistant made the booking seem easy and straightforward.
