Winter & Spring

Discover holiday magic on a winter or spring escape, and experience the world during some of the most beautiful seasons of the year. As snowflakes drop on rugged mountain peaks and glistening rivers freeze over into cool ice, many countries in Europe turn into winter wonderlands. Our winter rail journeys take you to some of the most picturesque areas in Europe, from the mountains and glaciers of Switzerland to the rivers and castles of Germany. With pure white snow crunching underfoot and a crisp and still atmosphere, it's hard not to become enchanted during winter.

As winter turns to spring, the landscapes of Europe awaken with pretty flowers, lush valleys and a new lease of life. Our spring rail journeys take you to the heart of some beautiful destinations as well as offering the chance to indulge in some unique cultural celebrations, like immersing yourself in world of colourful flora at Keukenhof Gardens.

Our customers love our Winter & Spring tours

The Outer Hebrides & The Highlands

11/Aug

Judith Sercombe

“A well organized trip with an exceptional tour manager. Plenty of interesting places to see along with amazing scenery. Hotels stays were very comfortable excluding the Murcure in Edinburgh. Several issues with the lift and plumbing. The walk from the station was prolonged and difficult. Otherwise a fantastic trip and thoroughly enjoyed.

The Netherlands in Springtime

21/May

Mr Michael Ventress

“An excellent tour but for one thing. You use public transport between Delft and Amsterdam. All the return trains from Amsterdam back to Rotterdam were cancelled leaving our group of 36 elderly people stranded. We had to pay from our own pockets taxi fares ((40 euros) to get back to Delft. Maybe better if you used private transport.

“It was a wonderful holiday, well organised but there were times when we had to rush to catch some of the trains. Long walk to the hotel. Tour manager was excellent. It would have been nice to know the cost of the extra trips & availability before leaving England

Huskies and the Northern Lights

24/Mar

Jojo

“Great trip, loved the huskies trip could do with that part being longer as it went too fast! Entrance to the Arctic Cathedral in Tromso should be included in the city tour as, having seen it before, the group missed out. A bit more choice upfront for the included set meals would have been appreciated. Tips on capturing the Northern Lights on other than an iPhone camera would be good as normal digital cameras and smartphones did not capture anything.

Nice Carnival & The French Riviera

S Cox

“Fantastic guide Deborah. Crowded hotel with enclosed space for breakfast. Last meal in hotel in the restaurant bore no resemblance to first meal in back room. No choice! Wine offered very very late bread came at end of first course. Did not enjoy it. Horrible smell throughout hotel one morning.

Glacier Express All Inclusive at Christmas

14/Jan

William Fyans

“Lovely places to see/be in, but too much time pressure and stress during travel. Took days to recover. Better for the young/fit. Everyone was very disappointed as the actual Glacier express we were on, being I believe a special extra train due to demand, offered no buffet or refreshments at all, all the way. Much cynical laughter at the lavish videos.
