The little train trips were either cancelled or curtailed. Despite a great tour leader we were disappointed.

Little Yellow Train not running with Montserrat Railway not offered as replacement. Little Red Train reduced to less than 1 hour when should have been 3 hours. Only 32 tickets booked for 35 passengers on return TGV. I was upset to have to vacate my seat which had not been covered by Rail Discoveries. Long bus journeys but very good hotel too far away from the trains.

Unfortunately one the trips still identified in the itinerary did not materialise apparently because of a closure by SNCF. Additionally there was confusion over platforms at Paris Gare de Lyons and another closure of a cable car ride in Nuria. It was known in advance that the yello train would not be available so that could have been notified to group members, but the rest was outside of anyone's control. It was nonetheless an enjoyable experience, helped by good weather, albeit long periods of sitting on a coach or train.

Fantastic hotel fabulous scenery however a lot of travelling on coach and little trains didn’t reach my expectations some weren’t even running. On the other hand I did see parts of countries I’d never see in my lifetime.
