Ella to Nanuoya Scenic Train Journey with Reserved Seats Ticket
Ella train trip
The train trip was amazing, comfortable with ability to buy local foods and drinks. However, buying out tickets through TripAdvisor was a fail!!! The tickets sent were not useable on the train and it took considerable negotiation and discussion with the officials, us and our guide to rectify. TripAdvisor needs to really pick up its game! This was not a user error at our end and we were finally issues “correct and official” tickets very close to departure time. We also tried to follow through the day before as the local guide was concerned we didn’t have the correct tickets- we were resent the same information and advised this was all correct! Buyer beware!
