Adam has been awesome in helping us plan our trip to Scotland. He’s been very receptive to our wishes, maintains clear communication, and prompt in responding to us despite the time difference. Plus there’s the awesome Scottish accent. I recommend him highly.
Joe is the best!
I have had the best time with Joe planning our dream trip to Ireland! He has been so helpful and a joy to talk to. Such a great personality! He has made us feel so secure in choosing Gorailtravel and the itinerary he set up for us couldn't be more perfect! Just knowing he will be there along the way up to and during our trip is such a comfort. I have a strong feeling we will be returning to Joe to help us with many more vacations throughout the years. So Joe if you are reading this and you are in any of the places we visit let us buy you a beer!
Sincerely, Leslie I.
Review after the tour
We just completed our trip of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland by Rail. Sean did a great job working with us on the itinerary. AND when a couple of issues came up during the trip, he was extremely responsive and they were resolved promptly.
Working with Sean- a delight!
Working with Sean has been delightful. He was receptive to our ideas, provided timely revisions, and selected lovely lodging. He picked up quickly on the kind of travel (a bit off the beaten path) we hope to experience. We three are looking forward to this once in a lifetime travel trip in Ireland, thanks to Sean's planning expertise and superb customer service. We chose gorailtravel after researching many travel companies, Irish and international. There was no comparison to their attention to detail and pleasant, patient demeanor.

Sean Wesson made my experience of planning a trip in Scotland very easy. He listened to what I said and made it happen right in the budget that I gave him too. Would use again.
Off to a good start!
We’ve only begun our journey with booking. However, Joe has been amazing. We provided info on our interests and abilities and he set us up with what looks like an amazing trip. He also ensured our booking didn’t get forgotten on our end with regular, helpful check-ins. My ADHD brain really appreciated the assist!
We are all looking forward to our Scotland adventure!
Happy 1st time customer
This is our first time working with Gorailtravel and Joe to create our itinerary for Switzerland this fall/winter. We chose Gorailtravel as our provider after comparing their reviews to similar providers and couldn't be happier. Our dates were flexible so we made multiple adjustments to the original itinerary and Joe was a great advisor to us on timing, hotel choices etc and got the new itineraries to us quickly. Now that we are confirmed we can't wait for our trip to begin with the continued support from Joe!
We have been looking at rail trips in Scotland
We have been looking at rail trips in Scotland and planning for next year. Sean was able to help us narrow exactly what it is that we want, and to recommend events and places of which we might never had thought.. He was very professional, and fun to deal with. We were very impressed, and would recommend him to anyone looking for travel advice.
Very attentive and patient customer service
What I first contacted GoRail, they responded right away. In fact, they responded so quickly I wasn't quite ready to discuss the trip with them. They followed up daily, and when I finally had the details I wanted for the trip, I worked with Joe. Joe was great! Professional, attentive, and very patient with our myriad of questions and itinerary changes. He was very reassuring regarding any unforeseen travel glitches that we might have and explained clearly the refund and rebooking policies. Excellent customer service even with the time zone difference. Also, when he was out of the office, his colleague Adam followed up to make sure plans were moving forward smoothly. We haven't taken the trip yet, but if the smoothness and professionalism of the travel planning is any indication, the trip should be fabulous.
RailTours - Ask for Adam

50th Wedding Anniversary Trip
Sean just finished finalizing our itinerary for our 50th Wedding Anniversary trip to Ireland. We are thrilled. My husband is hard to impress and even he was wowed with the video and itinerary Sean put together in minimum time. He treated us like family and seemed to know just what we wanted, knowing we are inexperienced travelers. Thank you for taking care of so many of our worries! We are so excited!

Easy booking for an exciting trip
Alex has been a fantastic support and advisor for my first visit to Scotland. She listened to my goals and interests for this trip and made a plan tailored just for me. I am so excited for this trip and cannot wait to share pictures with my friends and family after!
Ease of access to information needed
Ease of access to information needed! It was laid out in simple and easy to follow format! Peter, went through the details and made sure we were all on the same page! Great service and very courteous!
Peter was AMAZING
Peter was amazing. From day 1 of his contact with us thru the day we finalized and booked our travel, Peter patiently and expertly listened, worked with us, and made changes and scheduling adjustments to make the trip easy for us (four retired elderly folks traveling). He understood our limits and setup excursions and guided tours that would match our abilities.
We are excited about the trip and am sure Peter and GoRail Travels will be part of some of our future vacations.

Joe was very efficient in reaching out to prepare an itinerary for us when previous travel plans were disrupted. Joe made great suggestions and provided hassle free booking experience. Look forward to our trip this summer. Thanks Joe

A new adventure awaits!
We are so excited to be trying out a new type of travel - by rail. Joe has put together a very interesting agenda for our upcoming August trip - accommodating our prior travel commitments, event changes, dates and answering our list of pre-trip questions. Thoroughly professional!
