European Escorted Rail Holidays - Places and tour types

It's no secret that we're huge rail fans; quintessential elegance, soothing rhythms and views you'd miss travelling by any other mode of transport. Exploring the world by rail is a tradition that's been around since the 19th century, when young aristocrats would be sent off to Europe to gain some much-needed perspective on life before beginning their adult lives, and is one which we endeavour to keep alive as long as there's coal in the engine and new destinations to explore. So whether you're looking to escape the pressures of everyday life or try something new, we're guaranteed to have the ideal rail journey for you.

Extra leg room, a bar car open for the duration of your journey, the option to stretch your legs anytime you like without having to wait for the seatbelt sign to turn off, avoiding airport security; these are just some of the quantifiable benefits of rail travel, and alongside all this, you can also relax knowing that you're keeping your carbon footprint in check too.
