Lots of problems with the trains in Germany, cancelled trains overbooked and always delayed. The problems have been ongoing for some time so the company should have plans to help, not keep the group moving for over 18 hours on the first day. Hotel in Vienna is average Prague is good, Berlin the hotel is in a bad Location tiny rooms and unhelpfully staff. L can't understand why the hotel is used, To sum up trains hard work, hotels average. The three cities are wonderful, Rail Discoveries need to look at the people who are on the tour and make the whole things better run and a different hotel in Berlin.

The cities were wonderful and the accommodation very good throughout. Two of the guides were very good but the guide in Prague was not so good. The big but about this trip was the unreliability of the German train system. Cancelled trains, delays and reserved seat allocation mixed up. I now know this is not unusual!
