Sadly our holiday felt more like an endurance race due to delayed and cancelled trains causing real problems. Not Rail Discoveries fault in any way, and our guide, Garrath, did a superb job trying to resolve very difficult situations. Austria was stunningly beautiful. The tour guides we had on individual excursions were excellent. Personally, I felt we spent too long on coaches, maybe more free time could be factored in for future trips. The weather turned exceptionally hot too, which meant we were all trying to keep in the shade, rather than be keen to explore. Again, not Rail Discoveries fault. The food at the hotel during the week wasn't brilliant, though the exception to this was our last night, spent in Cologne. Beautiful hotel and excellent food.

Our tour manager Gareth was the best ever. Hotel was good but breakfast arrangements were a muddle with ineffectual and sometimes gruff waitresses. Some of the daytrips were too rushed and not enough time at some locations'

The tour manager was excellent, the hotel looked beautiful and the rooms were clean but the food served was diabolical, no choice apart from the day before you had to choose either meat or a vegetarian meal. Evening meal was obviously made up of frozen food, no local delicacies were offered, one evening was a thin dried up pork chop with 3 croquette potatoes and frozen cauliflower and broccoli, no gravy or sauce. It was supposed to be all inclusive but it wasn’t, you could have as much beer.or wine as you liked, but if you wanted anything else you had to pay, coffee and tea were never offered after the meal. A pudding offered was 2 slices of very dry Swiss roll, no ice cream or cream offered with it. We even paid on the last night for their al la carte menu thinking we would get a better meal, but no, didn't get what we ordered , asked to pay before we had even finished eating and no discount even though we had already paid for an evening meal. Service and staff were fine unless you wanted something else.
