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.

Ofertren's rating on Google Maps is 4.7/5 - Based on 95 real reviews published.
A perfect 10/10 experience, not a single problem, everything was perfect, easy and 100% recommended.
Ver en Google →I've bought combined train tickets here twice recently, and both times everything was perfect and about ten euros cheaper than on other similar websites. No problems at all, and they even gave me free tickets to the sobao museum in my hometown, haha. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for your service and always great window seats. Highly recommended!
