Gardens & Carnival Tours

Spring and summer have to be the absolute best time to enjoy a celebration. Whether it's surrounding yourself with the vibrancy of the seasons, enjoying the beautiful colours they produce in the form of flowers and trees, or discovering a more man made marvel, there is no reason why you shouldn't completely embrace the changing weather. Enjoy our array of incredible gardens and carnivals tours, we are sure you'll find something to tempt your festive tastebuds.

Among Great Rail Journeys' holiday itineraries there are unmissable carnivals to suit everyone. Few carnivals are as colourful and high-spirited as New Orleans' legendary Mardi Gras which lasts for a full fortnight each February or the dynamic Venice Carnival in the Floating City.
