Itinerary
We meet at our Departure Office in London St Pancras and board the Eurostar to Brussels. In the Belgian capital, we change trains for Cologne and continue to Munich or Ulm for the night.
After a relaxed morning on Day 2, we continue our journey across beautiful Bavaria, through Austria and the mighty Austrian Alps into Slovenia. We arrive in Bled, an enchanting town set on the shimmering, turquoise waters of the glacial lake bearing the same name. Surrounded by forested slopes and the jagged summits of the Julian Alps, the lake is crowned by Bled Castle. On arrival, we check into our hotel for three nights.
Day 3 is free for you to explore Bled and the surrounding area. Perhaps take a boat to the delightful island near the lake's centre or visit Bled Castle. This thousand-year-old building looks like a fairytale castle and houses collections of weaponry and ancient jewellery.

Problems with first class rail on 2nd day. Train late and then stopped part way through journey. Meant connection was missed. Tour manager did a brilliant job but very tiring day.

The GRJ choice of sights to visit was excellent, as were hotels. Our tour manager, Tim Neep, was THE BEST! He shepherded us professionally and cheerfully, kept personally connected to each and every one of us. He expertly handled an unforeseen train complication and a group member's serious fall. And he went beyond service in making sure we only two Americans, delayed by a long Immigration line, collected our bags at Gatwick Airport--after all the others were headed home--and got us to a taxi.

Arrangements generally good, but disappointed with location and standard of hotel in Dubrovnik, and visit to Kotor.

The scenery, the trains, the hotels, the tour manager and the whole experience made a journey to remember and treasure.
