Too Many Reviews
every thing was good except this is the third time you have asked for a review.Dont you read them?
22. Januar 2026
Antwort von Railtrail Tours Ltd
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the frustration caused.
We do send a pre-holiday review request to understand how the booking experience was for our guests, whether they booked online or spoke with our team — this helps us monitor and improve our customer service.
However, you are absolutely right to be annoyed. You should not have received multiple review requests, particularly after already leaving a 5-star review and letting us know you did not wish to receive any further reminders. Unfortunately, these additional messages were triggered by an automated process, and this is something we are now reviewing internally to prevent it happening again.
We really appreciate you highlighting this and are sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Thank you – The Railtrail Team
