Whether your perfect summer break entails taking in some of the best festivals, experiencing the freedom of the great outdoors, reclining on a beach or immersing yourself in the history and culture of somewhere new, a summer rail tour with Rail Discoveries promises a host of memorable sights, activities and experiences for everyone.

Puglia All Inclusive

Mr Clive Hawkins
5 stars
“Excellent & relaxing holiday. Resort was extremely good with very well kept gardens and beach area. Only one of the three pools was open when we went in May but it was very clean and tidy with lovely sunloungers and umbrellas and access to the bar area. Accommodation was very good and very clean with towels changed daily and bedding half way through our weeks stay. The food in the restaurant was superb. So much on offer for anyones tastes. Staff were happy and very friendly. We visited some beautiful places which were part of the holiday. Timings for the trips, train journeys and coaches was very good. Our tour guide was very helpful and he made sure that everything ran smoothly for us all. In all a great holiday which we would recommend if you like both walking, sightseeing and relaxing.

“Firstly the guide was knowledgeable & personable which is half the battle on this type of trip. The scenery is second to none even in poor light. Each day was something different train, coach & boat. Returning each day to the same base hotel, which was very good, with good food also, saved lugging luggage around or living out of a suit case. Altogether a lovey trip. Oh the others in the party were great too.
