France & Benelux

France is effortlessly chic, bursting with romantic cities, pavement cafés perfect for people watching, world-famous food and wine, and a southern coastline which epitomises Mediterranean glamour.

In Belgium we discover a perfect blend of French and German culture, Renaissance architecture, and medieval squares brimming with welcoming beer halls. Then there's the Netherlands. Get lost in an endless sea of blooming tulips in Keukenhof Gardens, and stroll alongside labyrinthine canals lined with characterful houses in Amsterdam. These destinations delight at every turn, and there is no better way to see them than by Europe's efficient, high-speed rail network.

The Beautiful Basque Country
28 Oct 2022
G Foulis
5 stars
“This trip offered something different every day. San Sebastián resort, Bilbao for Guggenheim museum, Rioja scenery and wine tasting, French coastal resorts, historical town as a base in the centuries-old Parador hotel which used to be a castle. Unfortunately the mountain railway is seasonal, so didn’t operate when we were there, but our guide made sure we saw similar scenery, and he did some lovely local walks with those who wanted.

“A very good tour exploring a beautiful part of France. Excellent tour manager and interesting day trips. The Novotel rooms were spacious and comfortable, and though there were occasional breakfast blips (how can a hotel allow itself to run out of standard black tea when it knows there are British guests staying?!), that did not mar the overall experience. My father had a lovely time too.

The Majestic Rhine (Basel-Amsterdam) Rail and Cruise

Mr Howells
5 stars
“An excellent rail/cruise. The Tour Guides were extremely helpful and supported the tour without a hitch, The Amadeus boat could not be faulted, and the on-board crew and staff were first rate. The tour was well thought out and it was well worth the trip.

Gillie
5 stars
“Wonderful holiday - staff on barge excellent. Food (except the meat) very French and delicious. Places interesting and unusual 'Course Camarguaise' (bulls in arena), olive oil making farm and Roman ruins (Arles) Transfer thro' Paris once again a shambles - Gt Rail need to sort this out - but ride in a Parisian taxi was much more exciting than a coach! More barge holidays will be booked!

Carcassonne and Cathar Castles of France
15 Nov 2022
C Munday
4 stars
“This was a really enjoyable holiday for us. We found the train journey to be far more relaxing than air travel. The trips were varied and interesting and the guide was very in-tune with our group and dealt with a range of unforeseen circumstances with good humour and efficiency. The hotel was in a lovely location just by the river with a good view of Carcassone and the breakfasts were very good although being on the wrong side of 60 we did have problems working out how to manage the shower and the hot water generally in our bathroom. I would recommend this holiday.

The Majestic Rhine (Fly and Cruise)
13 Oct 2022
James McNeil
4 stars
“We had a little bit of an issue with BA cancelling our outward flight at short notice but the GRJ managed to get things sorted out. From boarding the boat to us flying back from Amsterdam, the service was great from both the GRJ team and boat crew. God's balance of cruising and choices of excursions.
