Ofertren's rating on Google Maps is 4.7/5 - Based on 95 real reviews published.
A platform I wasn't familiar with, and although it failed me the first time I paid for a train ticket and the tickets didn't arrive in my email, a very kind person called me in less than 12 hours and confirmed my problem and sent the tickets to my email. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I had a free ticket for a cultural activity for my visit to Almería. The second time I bought my ticket, I got another free ticket for a cultural activity on my return to Madrid. I'm very happy with their service, their kindness, and their speed in responding to an incident that I didn't even have time to call to complain about. They deserve my 5 stars, and they can't do any more.
