In Europe, venture through the glamorous French Riviera, soaking up the glamour that so epitomised Hollywood in the 1950's, or discover the stately elegance of the Imperial cities of Vienna, Prague, and Berlin, uncovering the often turbulent history of these gorgeous cities.

Alternatively, a holiday in a more natural atmosphere might be more your pace, meandering down the shimmering ribbon of the Dordogne river as it cuts through the verdant French landscape, or relaxing by one of Italy's beautiful lakes in the north of the country.

Prefer to stay closer to home? We have a plethora of fabulous tours right on our doorstep, from the wilds of the highlands of Scotland to the almost Mediterranean feel of the Unspoilt Isles of Scilly.

Of course, on our tours there are a wide selection of fantastic rail journeys that will help you to see the best of your chosen destination. Venture on the trains of the Pyrenees in Spain, or explore Switzerland on board the Jungfrau Express or the Glacier Express. In England, cut through the Yorkshire countryside on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, or climb up the side of the Isle of Man's only mountain on board the Snaefell Mountain Railway.

Glacier Express All Inclusive

2/Oct

Stephen Piper

“Glacier Express All-Inclusive - 6th - 14th September 2023. We booked by phone to the call centre in February; that was well-handled by the adviser. We were pleased that all travel was by train, with no coach journeys (except Paris transfers). The holiday content was excellent, with wall-to-wall stunning scenery; the highlight in our opinion was the Bernina Express, but that doesn't demean the other excursions. We skipped the visit to St.Moritz, though, in favour of a stunning hiking trail between Preda and Bergun. The hotel Albula & Julier was comfortable. Breakfast was typical Continental offer and fully satisfactory; evening meals were varied, well-prepared and tasty fare on a fixed menu - there was no choice, but that wasn't a problem for us. The included drinks were welcome and refills were offered during the course of the meal. We approved of the location.Tiefencastel is little more than a village, with nothing much for night-owls to do after dinner apart from a gentle walk, but we were too tired for nightlife anyway! Our tour manager, Andy, did a sterling job keeping or group of 44 people together, getting on and off all the trains, sometimes with very short connection times, as well as sorting out many individual minor problems. He is not there to shift peoples luggage (some on the tour appeared to have glossed-over the advice on the website about being able to cope with your own bags), but the group gelled very quickly and the more able of us helped the others where needed. Andy was always there when needed, but does not have a parallel role as a 'tour guide'. Nevertheless he was ready to provide information when requested. Downsides? Very little. Our room in the 'annex' of the hotel overlooked the Albula River rushing past the window; that lulled me to sleep but Mrs P found it a little intrusive as she prefers complete quiet. The schedule meant a couple of evening meals were a bit late for our personal needs. I understand certain members of the group were unhappy with some aspects of the trip; Great Rail Journeys' premium offer would probably have suited them better. Given the eye-watering prices of everything in Switzerland, I think our Rail Discoveries trip represented very good value for money and would not hesitate to book with them again.

“Enjoyed our trip mid August which more than delivered on the advertised holiday made even better by having great travelling companions within a group of approx 35 people of all ages. Everything exceeded our expectations such that we'll certainly consider this type of holiday again as we've always arranged our own in the past. Would certainly recommend.

Each day was well planned out to maximise time to see the islands charming scenery and places of interest such as The Needles, Carisbrooke Castle, Yarmouth, Osbourne House, The Isle of Wight Steam Railway etc., mainly done by coach (driver had excellent knowledge of the island) as well as by the local train.
