I usually don’t write reviews except to complain how bad it is. This app is one of the few that I wrote for positive. It’s so easy to use and made my two months travel in Europe less stressful. It paid attentions to so many details which was amazing! For example, the app updates the platform info once it’s available in the train system, the feature of locating the train station was especially useful for foreigners cause sometimes google map shows a different translation. Show all of tickets along with timeline made managing many tickets so much easier. The whole experience so far was smooth. Keep up with the good work!

Horrible customer service

Used this company to book two train trips. 3 days before my first trip, Omio sent me an email informing of a strike that would effect my travel. Being on vacation, I quickly booked flights to avoid dealing with any hassle of trip interruptions. A day before the strike was supposed to start, I had learned the strike had been called off. Omio informed me I needed to contact the train company to receive a refund. They blocked my credit card company from reissuing me my money. Omio customer service through email told me multiple times that the process for a refund can be done online, however, after asking multiple times for screen shots on how to do it, another agent told me it was not possible to do online and everything had to be physically mailed in. I had mailed my information in June to the train company and still have not received any word on if I will be getting a refund. Because of Omio’s email, they should have refunded me my money. The second trip I had booked through them went without a hitch. I would caution using Omio and book directly with the train company as much as possible.

Ok Travel

So it is easy to find and make train reservations, but when it comes to making changes… WOW! Omio is not user friendly. I had issues with my trip so I had to make changes for the trains and trying to figure out how to reach customer service was awful. They don’t have a chat services and then when I finally found how to email them it would give me an error that I couldn’t make changes to that confirmation which was frustrating but I could send the email anyway. Then, customer service doesn’t really until hours later. Just hope you don’t have to make changes on your trips because then it’s a mission and can’t get things done. I had to pay for all new tickets all over again. Just be careful if you decide to use Omio - if your for sure that your plans don’t change then go ahead but you can never plan for mishaps on the trip and changes but they don’t care.

This app saved our vacation!

We had booked a Mediterranean cruise that left out of Rome, however our connecting flight was 8 hours delayed because of mechanical problems. Which meant that we would just miss the boat. We asked the ticketing agent to rebook us on a flight part way thru the cruise so we could have some semblance of a vacation. The gate agent told us that no flights were available. With this app, I was able to book a flight to city that the boat made its first port while flying on my delayed flight. The tickets were actually really cheap for booking them literally 12 hours before the flight took off. This app saved our family vacation!! We didn’t miss any our our cruise! Thanks so much!!!

Easy to book

My first compliment is that this site is very easy to use and provides up to date comparisons between different modes of travel. A real life example happened to me while I was traveling in Germany. I missed boarding a train because the ticket booth had not yet opened and ticket machine was complicated to use and wouldn’t accept my credit card. So I unpacked my laptop to access this site to buy my ticket for the next train. The ticket was instantly sent to my iPhone. This incident taught me to check this site the night before travel.

Nonstop pop up notification asks ruins use

I don't turn notifications on, unless I want to. Unfortunately, while trying to simply search routes, this app asks you if you want to turn notifications on ...Every. Single. Time. Hitting the "maybe later" option doesn't work. It's like a child that asks for a cookie every two seconds. You hit "maybe later," and the second you enter your our journey, it pops up. You hit your return journey, it pops up. You hit your date, it pops up. On and on and on, everything becomes double the process because you have to keep turning the button that says "maybe later" off. Being bullied into turning on a notification button doesn't make me turn on the notification button. I have just deleted the app. There are too many apps that let you book your train journeys throughout Europe. This will not be the one I use.

10%

So I use this app ALL THE TIME to book tickets within Germany. I made the mistake of using it to book tickets for myself and two friends for a day trip. The app has a problem with changing the dates you’ve entered.. so I assumed the dates I entered would be the dates tickets showed up for, but it regressed to a previous search and they dates were mixed up. I ended up booking our 3 tickets for two weeks AFTER the dates I entered into the app. When I got to the station (less than 72hours after booking) I noticed the problem and immediately got on the phone with CS. The woman I spoke to (Olesia) said there was nothing they could do sine it was “my fault” for booking the wrong dates (even though it was a glitch in the app). So I spent an extra 50€ booking 3 new tickets at the ticket counter in the station. The customer service representative only offered me a 10% discount on my next trip booked through Omio but it only works for up to 300€.. so I spent 155€ on tickets that I will not be able to use myself, refund or transfer to someone else to use. BUT HEY! I save 10% on my next.. I’m not booking with you again.

Used it frequently, still needs more direct simplicity

I used this app extensively for travel in Europe. I found it very convenient to book trains directly in Italy, France, Spain and Germany. However with the rest of the railways and all the airlines in Europe, they don’t provide any “direct” ticketing. That feature is great. I think they are on the right track but Ned to expand their “direct ticketing” feature extensively. If nothing else it gives a great overview of all the available bus, train and plane schedule and prices all in one place. That was the most convenient and helpful part of the app.

For the traveler

If you’re not using this app, you’re missing out, or, you have really bad friends for not telling you about it. It was my first excursion into Europe. If I could do it over, I would not have purchased a Eurail pass and planned everything through flights and used local rail for short connections. What I spent on the rail pass, I could have flown much easier with much less headache, and had time to see twice as many places.

Be Aware! Trying with Omio in emergencies is a nightmare.

It’s not trusting, I bought 2 tickets Valencia to Madrid more than a month before Covid19 emergency happened. When I tried to cancel before my trip because of Covid19 restrictions, I couldn’t do it because the app was saturated, when I tried to do it through costumer service emails, I got no answer, I tried from their Facebook page and just got a general message from a machine, when I tried to call it didn’t work either. So the week of restrictions came up and I couldn’t cancel nor contact any assistance from Omio. I spent $223 and one month and a half after they just refunded $88. So I’m deleting the app and unlike Facebook page, and I’m gonna leave all the worst reviews anywhere I see Omio, so they won’t do the same to other costumers.

You’re better off buying directly from vendors

This is an incredibly shady app that takes advantages of its users in every single way possible. If you’re trying to change your ticket or request a refund they ask that you purchase tickets to the change you want to make then share that with them. If the pricing is not the exact same, they will not make the change for you and the will only give you a 45% off voucher (keeping 55% of your money). If by chance the ticket is cheaper, they may grant you that change but pocket the additional fees you paid but again, you need to run the risk of going in the hole of buying from them again and losing even more money.

Gives unrealistically short transfer times

Struggled for a long time trying to get round trip ticket from Florence to 5terre . Kept insisting on giving 5 minutes to transfer at La Spezia, even though that isn’t really possible with trains usually late. Going there wasn’t a big issue as one can just get the next train , but coming back that is a big problem. Decided to by each leg separately. Got first leg, tried to buy second and popped up error at end saying ticket purchase failed. Credit card was charged anyway. Tried again and again and app kept crashing back to search. Gave up and went to sleep and ticket from failed purchase arrived in the morning.

Incomplete Information

I was given 4 tickets for a 3-train ride from Paris to Bayeux which apparently were for the whole ride. When I went to scan them at the station, they did not work, and I was asked for the tickets for the first ride. It was only after I had boarded (after asking for help) and looked further into the app that I found the document with tickets for each leg of the ride, which weren’t in order. The fact that all I was given was 4 tickets that didn’t work (even when asking a train representative) is why I have given 2 stars. I will not be using this app again for international travel.

Be aware - Seat selections are the worst

Using this app has been very easy - we travelled all around Spain without a single problem. The one thing that has become apparent however is that the train operators must reserve only the least desirable seats for those who book through third party apps like this. At no time we’re we given a chance to select seats and every time without fail we either got seats with no window or center seats (where forward facing and rearwards facing seats meet) where we competed for knee space with another couple facing us (And of course the only seats without a table). Forewarned is forearmed.

Terrible Customer Service

Application changed ALL of my buses to completely different times upon purchase and immediately brought the issue to customer service. Was responded to days later (after dealing with the issue myself) and told what happened was a lie. Friends were stranded alone in cities as a result of this issue—a result of something I was told was impossible. The application also provides the incorrect customer service number and I had to hunt through google for the correct one. Omio is dangerous to rely on while traveling and I highly recommend buying directly from the train/bus companies rather than this terrible app and rude customer service.

Buy directly through the train company

It's a good app to schedule trains but if you have cancellations your troubles begin because the train companies won't give you a direct refund on your ticket because of using omio. They make you fill out forms in their language and your request disappears into a black hole never to be seen again. Again it's great if you don't run into train strikes or all your trains are on time and don't miss a connection. It's not so great if any of that happens. Seems buying direct throgh the provider is more difficult but if you run into trouble it's easier to resolve.

Tons of info and options offered

This app is easy to use and is full of pertinent information. Various routes are offered via multiple train/tram companies, as well as air and bus options. It includes filters, number of stops, route numbers, timing of stops and length of trips & layovers. I don’t believe you can purchase tickets on this site, but it’s always the first place I go when considering my options for European travel.

So much easier than navigating the guidebook!

Traveling with my 13 y/o son and have never been to Germany. We planned our basic route before arriving from the US but did not have much other than hotel nights reserved. This app made traveling between cities and towns so much more manageable and gave us real time train schedules and prices. This made day trips slightly off the beaten path possible. Highly recommend!

WORST SERVICE THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY

This is the WORST service for tickets I’ve ever used! Worst client support, and worst solutions for refunds, 7 days to reply a miss informed email and never replied calls! they DONT refund the whole value you paid for, if you don’t want omio credits they will charge you even more! And the omio credits only come as individual discounts so if you want to use it all in one trip you have to buy separate tickets and PAY MORE service fees and PAY MORE for the rest of the ticket yourself even if you have money from another refund. They ROBBED me 7 euros now and a lot more, tying me to keep using this HORRIBLE SERVICE.

Navigating the South of France and Italy with ease!!!

I would’ve been lost without a few apps at my disposal during this trip...Omio is one of them! It made getting around for someone who speaks NONE of the languages common to this region, so easy!!! Destinations are clearly mapped and times/fares are accurate and very helpful when planning what you can squeeze of this lovely area into the time you have. I’ll never travel to Europe without it.

So easy!

As a young American who’s never traveled before, living in Europe and being able to get good deals on buses, trains, or planes literally anywhere around me (I get the student discount for the under-26 year-olds) it’s easier than the station tickets because it’s all in my language and it has every method of travel organized by cheaper or fastest, I love it.

Support is non existent

I bought train tickets for traveling in Italy. ITALO tickets are “exchangeable” I wanted to change departure times. They only have an app/online support form. It’s been a week and I haven’t heard back. Their “phone number” does not work. Otherwise getting tickets are easy just don’t expect any support from them.

Omio: If you want to be unhappy while traveling

Imagine setting the return date a week from the day you arrive, showing all the same train numbers and services, making it nearly indistinguishable from the prior week. When booking a day trip I bought a train ticket there, and when I bought it back, it was nearly indistinguishable between the same day and the week after (my friends got same day). I accidentally got the week after. The people on the train made me pay TWICE the normal price AND Omio wouldn’t give me a refund. I am currently fuming.

Creates unnecessary problems that made me miss my train

I bought tickets for the train online, then it made me download the app, but the app didn’t download in time because my service was bad so I couldn’t get the tickets. Then when the app finally downloaded, to get the tickets it takes me back to the website I was already on! Why did I have to download the app if it’s just gonna send me back to the website???? It’s wrong to create unnecessary issues that cost your users valuable time and money because you want to get a download.

Underwhelmed

Booking train in Italy. While it’s easy to find train schedules and book, the pricing when compared to the train’s website was $40 more for the exact same tickets. Seat assignment was so random, not according to our preferences and not together even though the train website shows multiple seats together. You cannot change seats after booking and cancelling forfeits $$. Wishing I would have researched before booking here but app was recommended by place we are staying.

DONT CHECK PRICES

Haha this is actually the worst app ever, if you look at any prices for trains the app will purposely sky rocket in price later during the week. For instance I’m looking at the exact same train on the exact same website online through safari but because I already looked at the prices before on the app it’s a lot more expensive

Customer Service Not Helpful

Inevitably there will be hiccups with travel and what you need in those cases are compassionate customer service reps. This is not the case with Omio. I missed a train due to a delay at heathrow but because I didn’t re-book my train before it departed (which I believe they didn’t get right because of time zone difference) they would not consider reapplying my funds to another ticket. Would not recommend this app if you don’t have money to lose. Just wait until you get to a train station and pay there.

Glitch resulted in charges and no refund

I really liked goeuro and had been using it for about 6 months while living in Europe, but last month the app glitched and charged my card for a bunch of tickets I didn’t buy- customer service admitted to me that the iPhone app had glitched and the problem had been solved, but only refunded the most expensive tickets despite my own app showing me a bunch of archived trips for tickets i hadn’t used! I still have charges on my card that don’t make sense. If you download keep very careful track of the trips you are taking! I’ll be using Trainline now

Aerial Map Needed

So far it works great. However, when visiting from another country, and Italian is not your native language, and your not familiar with the location, it makes it challenging to trust the routes it is given you after you submitted your locations and times of arrival and departure. Side note, I’m English speaking from the United States of America and visiting Italy for the first time.

Found a last minute super cheap fare in Italy

Tried to book a train ride from Milan to Portofino on TrenItalia but it was sold out. Couldn’t believe the super cheap fare I found on GoEuro! And it also had the time I needed to travel. The same time was sold out on the TrenItalia site! I downloaded the app and pulled up my reservation. It was easy peasy. I just hope it works tomorrow at the station!

The only thing wrong with this app is that, the don’t explain a lot of how to read the ticket.

Doesn’t work on airplane mode!

Thank god I tested this before I left. It’s supposed to work offline, but it doesn’t. 1. You have to be online to make sure your tickets are there. 2. If you put it on airplane mode and try to open a ticket that you loaded ahead of time, the app crashes! You should download all your tickets/barcode ahead of time and save it locally on your phone. If you don’t have good data or Wi-Fi, this app will be useless to you on the road.

Excellent App.

The Omio app makes booking a train as easy as possible. And provides ongoing information and reminders about your travels. It’s so good that there there have been two occasions I was running late and bordered a train without a ticket and used the app to get a ticket just as the train was departing.

No support, again!

2 years ago I quit using Omio because they left me with zero support in an unpleasant situation. Gave them another chance for a current trip and low and behold support is MIA when I need it once again. It’s been over a week now that I’ve tried to get a response and all I received was an automated message about how valuable I am as a Customer. Once I use up the bookings I have made in the app, it’s goodbye forever this time, and making sure everyone in my area of travel industry avoids this garbage.

Does not accept any payment methods

This would be great if it allowed you to actually purchase tickets, but for some reason it doesn’t work with valid credit cards, Apple Pay, or PayPal, even if you provide the correct billing address and details. It also grays out the options once it doesn’t work, so you can’t even try a different card or fix an error. These are cards that I regularly use during international travel with no issue. Omio simply cannot process payments.

An Omio Employee Advised me To Buy Elsewhere

After two buses failed to arrive within 1-2 hours of their scheduled times, we called Omio asking for assistance and whether they could locate the second bus, and they weren’t sure of where it was or what to do, so they advised us to buy a ticket from the bus station instead.. Not only did this cost 5-10 hours, but a lot of money too. The best thing I got from this was indirect advice to use FlixBus instead.

After filling in all the passengers information, the app shows the train tickets I want to buy are sold out. Then when I go back to the search page, the tickets are available again.

But those same tickets are still showing as available on their website and mobile app. Total scam and it doesn’t work in US.

Best Train App

I’ve used the GoEuro app for train travel in Italy and Switzerland and find it very user friendly. I have also been able to frequently find cheaper fares than with the company sites. The only negative is that if you want to know the platform info, you need to get that info from the rail company sites.

Absolutely impossible to get support.

If your travel plans change and you need to talk to someone, it’s impossible to get hold of a person. Zero customer service. And they require you to physically PRINT out your ticket. Why? I ran around trying to find a printer and missed my train. And of course there’s no refund. It’s much much better to just buy from the train ticket counter. You get better deals, flexibility and refund up 30 mins prior to departure. Never again Omio

Had to cancel ticket with list of $60 and order new ticket 2.) on new ticket , first segment train DID NOT got to Milano Central, but end it trip on Milano Lamb. station.
