Urban beauty, history, and a lively atmosphere. If you love that, you must take this trip. With this journey, you dive into (the history of) four world cities and Central Europe. We found Prague and Krakow magnificent, and Budapest and Berlin special. We extended the trip so that we stayed two days in each city. That was a good choice; it provides some relaxation during a trip packed with impressions, where you have to choose what to visit in each city. We also traveled first class, which is less tiring. Thanks to the Treinsreiswinkel, who had perfectly selected and arranged all the trains and chosen pleasant hotels.
We saw a lot. The hotels were good. Also at a good distance from the stations. If you compare this to the Swiss panoramas, there were no extra train trips included here. Consequently, we only saw cities. Nature only along the way. // Response TRW: Thank you for your review! The stay in nature or cities can indeed vary somewhat per trip. This trip is primarily aimed at visiting the cities in Austria and being able to view the beautiful landscapes along the way from the train and from the boat. Of course, you are free to make excursions outside the city on your own.
We spread the 7 travel days over 21 days, including an added ferry to Tunis. This made the trip more balanced. Just sitting on a train or a boat isn't that special. // Tip TRW: Thank you for your review! To see more of the places where you are staying, we indeed recommend booking a longer travel option or extension nights. The shorter options are mainly intended for the true train enthusiast.
Breathtaking, that well-organized train tour, which also sometimes involved crossing by boat or taking a bus. First class was a good choice, especially in Germany.
A varied and impressive train journey through Switzerland with good accommodations within walking distance of the station. All travel documents were correct. Some mobile phone skills are required to activate, for example, the Interrail pass per trip and per day. The advantage of this, however, is that you can also arrange minor changes to trips yourself. Contact with Treinreiswinkel was pleasant and efficient throughout the entire process.
I chose the Grand Scandinavia trip. What a beautiful journey. Everything I needed to travel arrived on time. All train journeys, hotels, and other accommodations were great. Hotels were close to the stations. The part on the Hurtigruten is also highly recommended. The suggested apps for international train services were also very helpful. Traveling this way was new to me in any case, but definitely worth repeating. I had a few questions beforehand, which were answered quickly via chat or email. As far as I am concerned, the support from the train shop was excellent.
