Customer Reviews Competition

Great Rail Journeys' Customer Reviews Competition

We know that our holidays provide a wonderful experience and represent unbeatable value for money…and our customers agree!

As well as filling in a detailed questionnaire, we invite our customers to send in a few words to describe their experience. We publish the reviews alongside the itineraries on our website allowing future travellers to get a true feel for Great Rail Journeys' tours.

Every review we receive is entered into our monthly prize draw for an Amazon Kindle. December's winners were Brenda and Norman Newman, who went on our Bavarian Christmas Wonderland tour. Their review is published below.

"We wanted snowy mountains, a good hotel, and a relaxing Christmas without the UK consumerism. We wanted to avoid queues and hassle at airports. Our trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen (such a pretty town) was exactly what we had hoped for. A really good and caring Tour Manager, Beverley, was the icing on the cake. And talking of cakes - those at the patisserie near the hotel were wonderful!"

"Reindl's Partenkirchnerhof Hotel lived up to its 5* rating and made us very welcome. A warm and friendly family hotel with high standards and good food. We visited the stunning Partnach Gorge, with frozen waterfalls and icicles hanging over rushing water. My photos don't do justice to the scenery; mountains all around, a beautiful day visiting Bavarian castles, a horse-drawn sleigh-ride on Christmas morning, Innsbruck for the Christmas market (much gluhwein and sausages!) and the high-spot (literally) was the train ride to the top of the Zugspitze on a clear, sunny day - you could see forever."

"If you go in winter, take boots with grips for the ice and layers of light, warm clothing. As you might expect in Germany, dress in the evening is smart but understated. We loved it all! Thank you Great Rail Journeys for another good trip!"
