A Beginner's Guide to Europe - Rail Tours
At Great Rail Journeys we have been planning and running train holidays for over 25 years and we currently offer a wide selection of exceptional holidays throughout the world including Europe. Rail tour holidays are the perfect way to explore this amazing continent. On most tours the journey starts at St. Pancras International and guests are able to watch the landscape change before their eyes as they travel from the UK to mainland Europe. We offer cross country and even cross continent tours with some holidays crossing from Europe into Asia. There is no better way to explore another country than by train travel as you can sit back, relax and open your mind to new experiences while having the chance to enjoy the company of like-minded travellers. Below is a taste of some of our most popular types of tours.
Classic Rail Tours
We have a large range of classic rail holidays that visit Europe. Rail tours that we deem as 'classic' are the holidays that are firm favourites with our customers and have been run for many years. An example of a classic tour that we run is our Glacier Express holidays which is a famous narrow-gauge train that takes guests on an exploration of some of the most dramatic and engaging scenery in Europe.
Grand Tours
There are a variety of Grand Tours available to choose from that offer guests the trip of a lifetime on holidays that either comprehensively explore a smaller region or travel through a vast area of land, and sometimes sea, in lesser detail. An example of one of our multi-centre Grand Tours is the Slovenia, Croatia and the Adriatic tour which takes guests on a multi-centre journey of former Yugoslavia.

Touring Europe by Train
It has never been easier to travel around the world's continents, including Europe. Rail tour holidays make exploring the world fun and stress free with experienced Tour Managers accompanying all of our holidays. Our Tour Managers are there to ensure your holiday runs smoothly from start to finish. On some tours we also have local guides accompanying excursions to share their in depth knowledge of the place you are visiting, as they are locals they are also able to tell guests all the hidden gems of an area like the best restaurants, the best shops and the best bars. Our range of Europe rail tour holidays are filled with cultural, historical and sociable excursions to ensure all guests have a wonderful time.
