Every detail that could possibly have ben covered was and was done professionally and positively every single step of the way. The hotels were well located and first class. The staff was very helpful and patient. The drivers were punctual and informative, especially Leslie in Budapest. The tours were enough to get my bearings and add the farther out sites to my itinerary that I would not have gotten to without transportation. I didn't need more. I have already recommended VBR to others along the way and more since I've returned home. Thank you. Well done.

You guys did everything you said and more. The ground hosts were stellar, the hotels more than comfortable and the train rides were great. You even helped us out with an issue that had nothing to do with the package that we paid for.

Fabulous way to travel as all the travel and accommodation is looked after. We stayed at K + K in each city. Highly recommended as they are small, clean, friendly and most importantly to us centrally located in the old parts of the city. We walked everywhere.

Hotels in Prague and Budapest were excellent. Especially, Hotel Parlament. Tour in Budapest was excellent. Pegasus transfers were excellent. Train travel was very nice, but scheduled transfer times were tight. Tour in Prague was poorly conceived, disappointing in what it included, guide was uninspiring. Crowds everywhere. Communication from Vacations by Rail prior to the trip was repetitive and confusing at times.

Everything about the trip went very well. The hotels were comfortable and in good locations. The various transfers went very smoothly and I really enjoyed talking to the drivers. The train rides were quite relaxing. The city tours included in the package gave enough of an overview that I could decide what areas to return to and explore on my own. I especially liked the walking part of the Prague tour at the Castle. I would most definitely contact Vacations By Rail when I decide to travel by train again.
