Welcome to the new home for Rail Discoveries. Here at Great Rail Journeys, we are marking a significant milestone as we merge our two sister brands. All the same great tours are exclusively available here on our Great Rail Journeys website and will be called our Discoveries collection.

Our commitment to delivering exceptional travel experiences is stronger than ever and we see this as an exciting new chapter. The knowledgeable Tour Managers, award-winning Customer Service team and transportation services you've come to trust with Rail Discoveries will continue seamlessly.

Glorious beaches, flamenco dancing, mouthwatering tapas and refreshing wines are just the tip of the iceberg in Spain and Portugal. Look a little closer and you'll see a different side to this crowd-pleasing destination. Step back in time as we explore the Moorish architecture in Catalonia, and explore the Duoro Valley of Portugal via beautiful rail journeys. Discover a new favourite dish in a rustic tavern, and gaze across the striking Pyrenees from scenic railways. Let Great Rail Journeys and Rail Discoveries introduce you to a sun-kissed land that is bursting with passion, culture, history and natural beauty on a fabulous escorted rail tour of Spain.

As always, our expert team in York is on hand, whether that is a tour you have booked, deciding on your next holiday with us or any other questions you may have.
