I booked the train tickets on the app between Bolzano and Venice 2 days before departure. It was my first time there, so I was unaware of scheduled strikes in Italy. When I showed up at the train station all the trains were cancelled how it was scheduled long before!
Omio failed to mention this crucial detail during purchase, didn’t send any emails about cancellation, which would have saved me money on a taxi, and should have never sold those tickets in the first place.
They refuse to help in any way with refund, saying I have to deal with it myself with Trenitalia, which proved to be extremely difficult, when you don’t live in Italy, and extra difficult because I booked it through Omio! If I’d have gotten tickets from Trenitalia, they’d be able to refund immediately at the station.
And this was not the only instance they refused to help.
It ruined my trip and I am still waiting for a refund 4 months later.
The tickets were also more expensive than if I just got them directly from Trenitalia, so don’t be a naive tourist like me. It might be convenient at first, but you’ll end up paying more and if you have any issues they won’t help you.
