Has anyone used this company for rail trips/hotels for their Glacier Express/Bernia Express tour? We are late booking and are hoping this company may have seats available.
Second question..how terrible are the aisle seats on the panoramic trains.
Thanks

Many of us here, who have traveled a great deal, suggest you stick with booking direct rather than using a third party.
If all that's available are the aisle seats, go for them. Both of these trains have larger than normal windows so you won't miss much from either side. of the train.

Don't use third party vendors- too much can go wrong.
You can ride the regional trains that run on the exact same tracks and don't require seat reservations. It's the trains the locals use. We rode the regionals and loved it! These trains aren't crowded, the windows open, which is great for taking pix, and you usually can jump across the aisles as the scenery changes.
Enjoy this beautiful country!

Please do some searches for reviews on Railbookers, which is a travel agency. There are quite a few threads across Trip Advisor with stories of terrible service with this company. I do not have personal experience with them.

Why use a third party at all? And as was said, the "normal" priced trains run on the same tracks and see the same things.
