Great Rail Journeys is the leading operator of holidays by rail from the UK and have been organizing outstanding tours for three decades. They offer a wide selection of train escorted tours holidays that guide the traveler to unique destinations to sample the culture and authentic flavors of the world. Most guided tours are by motor coach or with air travel. But for anyone who’s sat on a bus for a week may recognize the value of traveling by train. There are some motor coaches involved, but the trip is primarily by rail, offering the most and comfortable mode of long-haul transportation, as well as offering the most social opportunities.
On a train you can get up and move around at your ease, or just sit and relax, watching the ever changing scenery pass by the large windows. In fact, on a train, every seat is pretty much a window seat, even the ones on the aisle. Enjoy conversations with new traveling acquaintances, form friendships, and stretch out. Discover fabulous towns and cities with arrival right in the heart of town as well as view the countryside vistas.
Most of the Great Rail Journeys to the European continent start out with departures on the Eurostar Chunnel Train London to Paris from St Pancras International Train Terminal. Obviously, if you’re coming from the U.S. or Canada, you have to fly to England to take a Great Rail Journey’s Tour of Europe, but an excellent opportunity to include London, with its own festive holiday time with Germany, France, Belgium and Holland.
Many meals are included with the price of the tour, served in the hotel or are a special local restaurant. Hotels range from 3 stars to 5 stars, chosen with experience and near to the attractions of the cities visited. The tours include a full program of sightseeing, excursions and guided tours.
