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.

Many of our scenic tours include journeys on  steam trains or narrow-gauge railways, which explore regions that are often inaccessible to other forms of transport. These routes wind around mountains, loop over valleys and take you incredibly close to stunning flora, providing an unforgettable feast for the eyes. Choose from our wide range of destinations which includes  short breaks and longer, more comprehensive holidays that explore the heart of Europe and beyond.
