Scenic Tours by Escorted Rail

Those who hear the call of the wild will find our scenic train tours to their taste. These tours, focused on beautiful scenery, are visual smörgåsbords. We enjoy unsurpassed views from our trains and our resorts are in some of the most magnificent locations. Our excursion programme continues to impress with a stunning range of scenery and wildlife on our guided scenic train tours.

The smörgåsbord is a perfect analogy for our scenic train tours. Each has its own theme, or flavour, which varies by region but they are bound together by a dedication to sample some of the world's finest scenes. Unlike other modes of transport, journeying by train allows travellers time to relax and focus on the view. In a car there are always distractions (like driving!) but the train is a perfect vehicle for enjoying the panoramic views, which makes our scenic train tours the perfect touring holiday.

“Brilliant trip & an excellent tour guide

The Sensational Isles of Scilly
1/Jun
Frances Williams
5 stars
“Well organised with good leadership. Itinerary had to be changed because of unforseen circumstances but we were always kept up to date with any changes. The Scilly Isles are beautiful and well worth a visit but you need to like small boats if you want to visit them all. Those who live there are friendly, helpful, kind and hospitable. Lots of opportunity to see wildlife. On St Martin's we saw 8 kites. We had a great holiday.

Secrets of Provence by Barge

Annette
5 stars
“This was a lovely holiday with delicious food and wonderful service from the crew. The tours were interesting and informative and I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys good food and wine. The only drawback was the very long journey to Sete where we met the barge but other than that it was as near perfect as possible.

Mr R Stallabrass
5 stars
“Very nice tour of Tuscany for 7 nights in mid-May. Stayed in pleasant Spa town with good rail connenctions to Florence, Lucca and Pisa. The other two day trips were by coach. A very nice evening on a family wine estate in the hills, with superb meal and variety of wines to have with. As always with Great Rail the Tour Manager was really excellent. Also good hotels for overnight there and back. Pick ups by coach where necessary all fine and on time, no trains missed and no one lost. This was my 12th trip with Great Rail, going as far back as 2006
