Scenic Tours

Witness some of the most magnificent scenery of the world on a rail tour that explores Europe's natural beauty. From the wild moorlands to idyllic lakeside settings, the diversity of the continent provides a striking backdrop to our scenic train tours. Every holiday that features in this specialist group of tours has been chosen because it visits locations that are abundant in dramatic panoramas.

Many of our scenic tours include journeys on steam trains or narrow-gauge railways, which explore regions that are often inaccessible to other forms of transport. These routes wind around mountains, loop over valleys and take you incredibly close to stunning flora, providing an unforgettable feast for the eyes. Choose from our wide range of destinations which includes short breaks and longer, more comprehensive holidays that explore the heart of Europe.

Summer Travelling with Rail Discoveries

All of our scenic train tours are escorted by a courteous and professional Tour Manager who will ensure that you have the best possible experience during your time with us. Every detail of your scenic train tour will be planned months before your departure and it is your Tour Manager's job to ensure that everything runs as planned.

If you prefer to explore independently they will happily fade into the background, only offering assistance when needed. Full details of what is included in each of our scenic rail tours can be found in the individual tour itineraries above. If you require additional information or have any queries please do not hesitate to contact our Tour Advisors.
