Drachenfels Railway

Travel on the Drachenfels Cog Railway, that starts at the bottom of Königswinger and takes us up 722 feet to the top of Drachenfels Mountain, and past Schloss Drachenburg - a stunningly beautiful villa that is said to have inspired the castle in Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty'. On arrival at the top of the mountain, you will see the ruins of Burg Drachenfels, a castle that was built in the 12th century, and destroyed 500 years later. The line started running in 1883, using steam powered trains, changing to electric traction in 1953, and continues to run today.

Glacier Express & The Majestic Rhine

30/May

GEORGE PARKER

“A truly worthwhile, almost once in a lifetime experience. So varied, inclusive and that contrasts impossible to estimate. From the top of the mountain looking at the Matterhorn to the beauty of the Rhine Gorge, a first class ship/crew/tour guides and so well organized. Just go do it when you can

The Majestic Rhine

“Excellent 1 year old ship - Amadaeus Cara, excellent food, excellent service. Rhine gorge with castles very scenic. Start of Rhine in Basel less scenic as is the end from Koblenz to Amsterdam Tour of Amsterdam including cruise on the canals was excellent. Journey home took 12 hours. Great Rail Journeys has always been an excellent company to do business worth with excellent customer service and their bagageman service worked perfectly and is a real bonus.

Top of Europe & The Majestic Rhine

Mr David Dewdney

“We both really enjoyed our first cruise of any type. Our tour guide for the Jungfrau Express part of the trip, Ian Boyle, was the best we have experienced whilst travelling with your company. Organised and adaptable, he provided all the information we required and more; for example, we would have been unlikely to discover the boat tour of Strasbourg which we greatly enjoyed. We enjoyed our hotel in Strasbourg, being pleasingly large and situated near the station. Whilst we found some of the fittings in the hotel in Interlaken a little tired, we enjoyed the experience of eating on the 14th floor with its stunning views. The cruise ship was excellent and we can't speak too highly of the staff. The cabin was excellent and spacious and we enjoyed being able to unpack the suitcase, but being able to visit different places and will go on another river cruise in the future. The only negative was on the last day when we had to get up very early to travel on a coach to Brussels rather than a train from Amsterdam. Whilst we fully understand the problems of obtaining the train tickets, we were first told that this issue was a one-off, but later discovered it had been a problem all summer. Yet, this was not mentioned at all in the information pack received a fortnight before the trip.
