Goos choice of trains and hotels

We gave the outline of the cities and dates we wished to travel, and they proposed trains and connections and hotels. The hotels were all very good (Germany and northern Italy), and train times worked well.

We enjoyed visting Germany and Netherlands by train. Franfurt, Dresden and Amsterdam were great but there was train travel every other day - needed longer between train days. The hotels used were variable two were good and two were average/poor.

Overall, the holiday was very good and interesting. We saw a lot of Germany from the train windows and stayed in fascinating towns. Most trains were 10 minutes or so late, though this never made us miss a connection. There were a couple of excellent added trips (Elbe valley and Cologne). On one day, our ticket had been dated incorrectly for the first train while the second train was missing our coach. Both these issues could have had serious consequences for us but luckily, local train staff were excellent in sorting out the problem. TMR was also excellent in its response to our 'complaint'. Hotels in Frankfurt and Dresden were excellent but the hotel in Dusseldorf was less good (very basic room with few extras, few extra facilities in reception). There was some lack of useful signage at Amsterdam Centraal station which might need some mention in TMR instructions, though it was good to have a short time to see Amsterdam again.

Loved the holiday. All trains were on time, clean and functional. The locations were great but we felt that the 3 day stay in Perugia was too long. 2 days would have been fine and perhaps an extra day in Rome.
The hotels in Zurich, Florence and Spoleto were excellent but the hotels in Perugia charged us for using pool and gym and the hotel was not walkable from the station as suggested. The hotel in Rome seemed to have a problem with the air conditioning and the room was tiny. The location was good.The final hotel in Nice certainly was not a 4 star. It was pretty seedy. A suggestion for future travellers might be to stay in Doubletrees at Nice ville station.
But on the whole, the train journeys through Switzerland to Italy were amazing and the coastal rail journey from Italy to France were sublime.
All cities and towns on this holiday were well chosen.
On the whole, this holiday was good value for money.

The company were great and always offered a personalised service

Right from the outset of us thinking about a rail trip to Istanbul, all our contact with Tailor Made Rail has been extremely helpful- they were very quickly able to put together a proposed itinerary including hotel bookings for us to consider, and were very happy to make alterations following helpful discussion with their staff, many of whom had made the trip themselves, and so were speaking from direct experience. Their recommendations all turned out as well as we could have expected - hotel choices were all good and conveniently located, and descriptions of the journey accurate with the exception of the fact that although we would be woken
Up at the border crossing from Bulgaria to Turkey we were not aware we would have to leave the train twice including taking all our luggage with us for one of the disembarkations. But overall, a very helpful team who clearly wanted us to have the best experience possible. Also, all the documentation they sent us with instructions on ticketing together with what to do and where to go with regard to the journey itself were very clear and helpful.

Great service from start to finish. This was our 2nd trip and we weren’t disappointed. Good hotel choices and great routing and the timings of transfers between trains was spot on
We have every confidence in the team who were quick to respond and picked up queries when others were absent.

First class service from beginning to end. Did a 10 day tour of Switzerland and it was a great holiday with excellent hotels and rail travel. All train connections worked perfectly and hotels with super rooms. We had an Inter Rail pass and no problems at all. Great itinerary and planning. Will use Tailer Made Rail again.

Tailor Made gave us exactly that, an excellent tailor made holiday to Spain by train... just what we hoped for. Good hotels in all the places we visited and the connecting trains and reservations all worked well. The staff were excellent, giving good advice and were very knowledgeable. We will use this company again.

We felt we received personal service. Nothing was too much trouble, we were able to customise our holiday to exactly what we wanted as part of the booking process. We were given really clear instructions for every leg of the journey - there was a set of instructions for each day giving travel, hotel and excursion details.

A well planned journey which did exactly what we asked.

Great holiday, everything was perfectly planned for us with very clear directions for every change in trains. When schedules were late they were on hand to resolve and advise on any fall out.
I would highly recommend Tailor Made Rail we have used them three times and they just keep getting better

Excellent advice and very well organised paperwork. A very well organised holiday from England to Istanbul by train .

I can’t recommend Tailor Made Rail highly enough! From start to finish, they arranged my train holiday absolutely perfectly.

Every detail was thoughtfully planned — from seamless connections to fantastic accommodation — which meant I could just relax and enjoy the journey. Their communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear they genuinely care about creating a stress-free and memorable experience.

What really stood out was how effortless everything felt. Travelling by rail can sometimes seem complicated, but they made it smooth and enjoyable

If you’re considering a rail holiday, this is definitely the company to trust. I’ll 100% be booking with them again!

Our train holiday to Switzerland via France and Italy was amazing. The way that the holiday itinerary was planned and dovetailed all the way was fantastic. The location of the hotels to the railway station was well thought out and all to a very high standard. The staff were all friendly and helpful at every destination. I couldn't praise Taylor Made Rail enough. Communication with them was friendly and helpful. Due to this we felt confident we were going to be able to journey via Eurostar and Interrailing in our mature years.
We travelled on 19 trains, including the Bernina express and journing on the Glacier route with 5 stops overs and a visit to Zermatt.
Thank you so much for helping us with this special holiday.

The organisation of the trip was first class before hand & the trip itself was perfect. Everything went like clockwork and we have no hesitation in recommending TMR to everyone we know. Thanks for a trip of a lifetime, David.

It was our first time booking with TMR but I can honestly say they were really easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions. They provided us with a detailed printed daily timetable/plan which was very user friendly. Our trip was to Germany, Frankfurt, Dresden and Düsseldorf. All journeys went to plan. Frankfurt was the only place where we felt uncomfortable due to the location of the hotel by the railway station. The area is very run down with people openly using drugs. We would recommend using a hotel in a better district but this would mean using a taxi. Frankfurt old town is lovely.
Dresden is a beautiful place and while there took advantage of the rail tickets included with the package to Pirna, another lovely place.
Düsseldorf is a lively place on the Rhine with lots of bars, restaurants and shops.
We had a great time exploring Germany.
We would definitely book through TMR again as we felt it was a very well organised independent holiday.

A great experience made all the better by the Tailor Made itinerary, great trains and lovely hotels in good locations near to the train stations. Would definitely recommend Tailor Made.
