Lakes Escorted Tours

Away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, nature takes centre stage - and our lakes holidays showcase scenes that will take your breath away.

The great lakes of the world provide no less scenic wonders, but offer a more sedate experience. Discover waters that dance between shades of emerald and blue, where shores are dotted with elegant villas, ancient towns, and leafy vineyards. From beautiful Garda and Como in Italy, to the often overlooked beauty of Austria's Lake Zell and, further afield, the unparalleled drama found in Canada's national parks.

Wherever you go, discover a wealth of extraordinary scenery perfectly suited to explorations by rail.

“Good holiday but quite active. Sirmione is a brilliant place to visit as is Lake Garda. So much to see, but two long days travel to get there was a bit much for some folks. A smaller group would have been better.
