I felt like I needed to add this... as reading my review back, I left it out and it needs to be said: I went for the whole hog & it was the best thing I've ever done. The hostels were brilliant, you even get breakfast in some and one even had a pool!! Everything is written down for you, including instructions on how to fill out your interrail pass & this honestly was such a piece of mind for someone who's never travelled before. The location of the hostels were spot on and the train journeys even enjoyable! I met some awesome people and we're even looking at where we can go to next year! Karis & Catherine were amazing. Their service was exceptional and I felt like I could ask them anything and their replies were almost instant. If you're reading this not knowing whether to book, then I would highly recommend you do :) ... (One of the main reasons I booked my trip back in Feb, was by reading the 5 star reviews.) You won't be disappointed! Thank you again :) xx
