This incredible selection of tours are customers favourites for a reason. Year after year, we enjoy comments from our customers proclaiming their enjoyment for the hotels, the meals, the cultural experiences and, of course, the magnificent railway journeys these holidays encompass.

In the glorious south of Europe, discover Italy and Spain. Two countries simply bursting with vibrant traditions, here, you can find some of the most iconic sights in Europe, from the canals of Venice to the Moorish palace of Granada. Enjoy informative guided tours, sample food and wine in authentic settings, and truly immerse yourself in cultures that are renowned for their erachanging art and delicious food.

For those who appreciate the splendours of nature, there can be no place better than stunning Switzerland. A destination where the towns and cities spill over into the incomparable countryside with astonishing effects, this is certainly a country that has to be seen by rail. And on board the Glacier Express, the 'slowest express train in the world', is a fine way to do it, as the leisurely pace allows passengers to truly absorb the awe-inspiring Alpine landscape in all seasons.

Austria and Germany are home to some of the Imperial capitals established by the Hapsburg empire. Vienna with its elegant, artistic style, and Berlin with its turbulent history and resilient monuments both offer an inspiring insight into the changes of mainland Europe throughout the ages.

Just beyond your front door, you can enjoy the very best that the United Kingdom has to offer. Climb aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, the most visited heritage railway in England thanks to it's breathtaking scenery, and picturesque railway stations along the way. On the Isle of Man, uncover an incredible amount of history that still comes alive on the island, with horse-drawn trams, steam railways, and castles that are beloved by visitors from all around the world.

“A great way to get a taste of Provence. Having a tour manager that knew the area well was a plus as she provided lots of additional info. The official tours each day were well organised and interesting. Some involved lots of walking on varied terrain, that along with the fabulous local wine meant that we slept well!! The walking left us fitter & has peaked our interest in going on weekly walks again when we returned home. The hotel was quirky which meant that the room was small. Having said that the bed was comfy & it didn’t affect our holiday….it was clean & had all that we needed. The hotels central location means that shops, places to eat & music venues are very close by…we were disturbed by music, partying people & cars roaring through the streets on a couple of nights. Closing the window reduced the noise. The buffet breakfasts at the hotel were fab with a huge range so allow plenty of time to stoke up!!! The price also included 2 evening meals at a local restaurant which was lovely. However we found that France doesn’t cater well for food intolerance or varied diets. The name Great Rail Journeys implies lots of train journeys, however once at the hotel the travelling is on foot, coach or boat. Whilst the complimentary luggage service offered by Sherpr is a bit confusing to use and it forces you to underestimate the value of the clothes it was useful. It meant that we could take more clothes with us without having to lug them around as we travelled to and from France. We would definitely use this company again and visit another part of the world.

Highlights of Tuscany

“The countryside of Tuscany is beautiful. The rail trips to Pisa, Lucca, and Florence from our base in Montecatini Terme were well organised. Our first hotel in Turin was fabulous, the NH Lingotto Congress, go up to the test track on the roof where the mini cars raced in The Italian Job. Coach visits to Sienna and San Gimignano were great. One of the highlights was the wine tasting at Castello Di Verrazzano. The hotel in Montecatini Terme was OK, but not really 4 star, I'm not sure why this hotel was chosen when there are many others in the town. Our return hotel in Nice was OK for an overnight stop, breakfast in the roof restaurant was amazing. The services of our tour manager was excellent. The guides in Sienna and Pisa were excellent, the one in Florence less so. You need to be fairly fit for this tour, but we can thoroughly recommend it.
