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 truly great experience. Aside from the beautiful scenery, the trip was extremely well run by Tracey Richards. The buses were spotless and comfortable, the trains all enjoyable. I thought each of the hotels and meals were superb.......well done by Great Rail. When weather forced some changes in mode os transportation, Tracey made it all appear seamless and an improvement. I felt she balnced her handling of a very diverse group so well. My hats off to Tracey. Thank you Great Rail. Mike and Bonnie Slein Newport, RI USA

“Amazing quality & quantity of sights fitted in, very good guide manager ‘Charles’, excellent 4* hotels. Only real down was a port wine trip to ‘Taylor’s’ the guide here was useless- a video & TV would have better & NO wine tasting, hence no sales!

“We very much enjoyed this mini adventure, The hotel was typically Austrian - good food and comfortable. We liked the tour manager and delighted in the wonderful hotels in Mannheim and Cologne on the journeys. We think that it was a very busy holiday; we realised this I’m advance but good to know.

“We had our best holiday with you and have done this holiday twice. The hotel Albadraba is wonderfully situated, the food and staff exceptional. We can’t understand why you have dropped this hotel for next year. It was bad timing to do this while we were staying there. Very short-sighted of you.
