Winter & Spring Escorted Rail Journeys

Fresh snow blankets the landscape, transforming it into a serene wonderland on guided winter rail journeys. Icicles hang from the trees like sparkling ornaments and bustling town squares take on a hushed allure that invites peaceful strolling and quiet introspection.

As spring comes and the snow melts in our favourite Alpine destinations, the scenery is transformed and nature comes to life - revealing glorious flower-filled meadows and lush hills. It's the perfect time to travel on spring rail journeys in the Mediterranean and Morocco to experience sunshine and pleasant temperatures.

Winter rail journeys and spring rail journeys are one of the best ways to avoid over crowding from tourists. All of our itineraries are carefully plotted to unveil the hidden depths of a destination, by combining both major attractions and little known sights with the intimate knowledge of a local guide. The draw of the most stunning and culturally interesting attractions is obvious all year round but travelling in spring is a fabulous way to see the spring blossoming of life after winter and enjoy unrivalled access to some of the world's finest destinations on our winter rail journeys.

Classic Glacier Express

15/May

John Weiss

“For a mini immersion in the beauty and variety of Switzerland, you'd be hard pressed to find a better travel alternative or a better travel bargain. Swiss trains provide a level of comfort and flexibility that's uncommon in public transit, and the tour's hotel choices offer quaint, comfortable rooms and surprisingly excellent cuisine. Pair that with an experienced escort like Richard Hare, whose nuanced local knowledge, subtle humor, personal attention, and detailed delivery, combine to make transfers and stopovers all the more enjoyable. Of course, you can expect to do a fair bit of walking on hard surfaces, and Swiss exchange rates can make meals and souvenirs expensive, but the character of the towns and the population's general knowledge of basic English also make for many unexpected delights. We were blessed to have cool, sunny weather and a small, congenial group early in the Spring shoulder season when crowds were manageable and sites readily accessible, so our vivid memories and overall experience rates an easy five-star recommendation.

“The train tour itself was amazing and memorable. I just wish our tour manager used any of the languages in their bio that would’ve helped the group or people that didn’t speak that language. I also wish we were informed if sending your luggage ahead was an option. Lastly, I would’ve preferred the hotel in some places to have been closer to the train station if we didn’t have a shuttle. But the trains were lovely.
