Great Rail Journeys has a number of festive holidays and for
those who prefer to stay closer to home, our breaks to the England
Christmas markets are ideal. In addition to excellent shopping and
the opportunity to try some delicious regional produce, the
market's surroundings offer the ideal setting for some relaxing
sightseeing. Our tours aim to provide travellers with a variety of
experiences and include excursions of cultural, historical or
social merit to areas of interest or particular beauty. We also
like to include journeys on heritage or traditional narrow gauge
railways whenever possible, as not only do they give a fascinating
insight into the history of rail travel but also provide some of
the most beautifully scenic rural routes in the country. The
excursions included during our England Christmas markets tours are
not compulsory and if you would prefer to explore the local area
individually, then you are welcome to do so. There will also be
designated free mornings or afternoons where you can spend your
time finding local attractions or simply indulging in the excellent
facilities provided by your hotel. Chosen for its convenient
location, the accommodation that we use offers individual charm and
excellent customer service. All of the hotels featured on our
England Christmas markets breaks have a range of facilities from
comfortable lounges and bars to restaurants and bistros. Each
individual room provides an en suite and can include amenities such
as televisions, telephones, hairdryers and tea making
facilities.
With accommodation, excursions and certain meals all included
within your break to the England Christmas markets, all that is
left for you to do is relax and enjoy your festive surroundings.
Throughout your journey, a professional Tour Manager will be there
to guide you through the busy itinerary to ensure that everything
runs smoothly. Your friendly Tour Manager will also answer any
questions that may arise during your holiday and be ready to help
at a moment's notice or remain in the background whilst you shop
independently. For further information regarding our seasonal
breaks to the England Christmas markets or any of our other
escorted rail tours, there is a comprehensive itinerary provided
with each tour listing. With details of locations, routes,
services, meals and excursions, you can see exactly what you will
be doing and where you will be staying, ensuring that there are no
surprises or 'hidden extras' on your trip so that you can fully
enjoy your time at the England Christmas markets.
