A lovely holiday in Norwich staying in a good hotel. Went on 3 preserved train lines and also saw Sandringham estate. Could have had more time at Sandringham, but what I saw was worth seeing (including the beautiful church)

Good trip. Nice hotel and interesting excursions. Slightly spoiled by a dreadful coach-driver who seemed to think that he was a Standup Comedian. I'd rather coach-drivers concentrate on driving and let the Tour Manager give a short commentary.

Lovely holiday. This is the second rail discovery holiday we have had this year & I can thoroughly reccomend them.We stayed in a Holiday Inn on the outskirts of Nowich City next to the football stadium.We had a good buffet breakfast & waiter served 3 course dinner.The trips were excellent,apart from one slight disappointment where another train was sustituted for a steam train.The 2 hour sail on the Broads was excellent.Our rep Trevor was pleasant & well organised,as was the coach driver.
