Personalized service from Anita Brooks

Anita took the time to get things correct. She did not rush through getting an answer to my problem which so often seems to happen. It was also very nice to not be talking to a foreign call center.

Rep Anita Brooks was fantastic!

Rep Anita Brooks was fantastic! She was patient and took time to listen and understand my concern. She thoroughly researched my issue, while I was on hold, and once she ensured the itinerary’s accuracy, she encouraged me to review it while she was on the line. Ms. Brooks did not end the call until reviewing the corrected itinerary with me, making sure I was satisfied. She was affable, professional and helpful. Thank you.

Railbookers - the people make the difference

Kelli Ringler
Customer Support Specialist

Went above and beyond to help me. I explained my problem and she composed a letter to help us receive a refund due to my husband's serious illness while traveling. I received this document within minutes (via email) and forwarded it to our travel insurance company for reimbursement. I highly recommend Railbookers!

Guest Experience with Anita

Despite the long hold time, Anita was quite helpful and very professional.
As a travel agent, it would have been helpful to know that any changes on the booking had to go through the guest experience desk, before hand.
