Got ourselves a 7-day Global Pass and travelled through 5 countries. Buying the pass was easy but how to use the app for activating the pass will need some time to learn. However, fear not as there are many experienced people out willing to share. Do some readings and join some fb travel groups and you will surprised by the information available. The pass was flexible but the train schedule can be unpredictable which means you need to be updated requently to stay on course of your journey. We only experienced one hicccup on one of the trips at Berlin due to seat reservation issue and missing the connecting train due to delay of the first train. The other trips were as planned.

Easy to use, just need to activate before you take the train and scan the QR code on the gate. Britrail pass is the solution for multi-city journey, as train can change schedule anytime or gone (no more that timing). Keep checking on the hanging screen to see whether your train change platform / change timing / gone

The whole trip was very comfortable, and this pass was a great value. I visited many cities in the UK and had a perfect vacation. I would definitely buy this pass again if I have the chance to come to the UK in the future.

Having a great 10 days stay. A safe place to move around even during late night. Very accessible and easy to travel around with the public transport. Students moving in for their unis freshers week makes the area lively. People here are friendly and helpful. Food wise is great and at a reasonable price. House keeping staff - Olesia is friendly and have help keep our room clean and tidy at all time. Great job.

The itinerary for the day was perfect! The tour guide was also the driver. He admitted that he had only been employed for two months and this was his first time leading a tour alone. But he performed superbly, explained clearly and vividly, and explained the history of Manchester clearly during the itinerary. He drove steadily, ensuring our safety throughout the journey, and always took care of everyone, constantly sharing all kinds of knowledge. I really like this tour guide, I have to give him 100 points, perfect! The scenery along the way was also beautiful, and the whole itinerary was impeccable, it was amazing.
