Eurostar says it has become the first European rail company to feature TripAdvisor’s user-generated content.

This agreement will allow all passengers travelling with the cross-Channel rail service to benefit from user reviews and ratings from TripAdvisor.

TripAdvisor content is integrated into more than 18,000 pre-trip emails sent each month by Eurostar to passengers travelling on its high-speed services. TripAdvisor also offers passengers a “Best of” overview of their chosen Eurostar destination, including details of the city's top-rated attractions and restaurants, as well as access to a downloadable guide packed with tips.

TripAdvisor hotel reviews have also been incorporated across the rail operator’s trip planning site, http://www.eurostartripplanner.com to help travellers select the best hotel for their needs. This trip planning service sits within Eurostar Plus, Eurostar’s recently launched collection of special offers and discounts for travellers, helping them get even more from their Eurostar ticket.
