TGV Trains

Introduced in 1981, France's TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) was the original European high-speed train. Linking Paris with Lyon, the new service revolutionised train travel and meant that travelling by air over medium and short distances was no longer seen as the best option, even for business travel.

The network has expanded rapidly and today these sleek, stylish trains offer links to over 60 destinations throughout France. Operated by SNCF, the French national rail operator, TGV trains travel over specially-constructed high speed lines. The trains can achieve speeds of up to 186mph (300km/h) on most long distance routes and 200mph (320km/h) on the new TGV Est line, which links Paris with Strasbourg, Luxembourg and Basel. With the exception of shorter journeys, TGVs almost always have an on-board buffet car, serving a selection of drinks and light refreshments.

Secrets of Provence by Barge

1/Jun

Annette

“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.

Highlights of Tuscany

31/May

Mr R Stallabrass

“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

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

A Grand Tour of Italy

29/May

K Clark

“We had a fantastic time with GRJ and their Grand Tour of Italy. We met wonderful people along the way, and saw fantastic parts of the country. Italy is a very busy place this year, nearly everywhere was full to the rafters! Even when the weather let us down most days, the whole group carried on and we made the most of it. Our tour manager, Georgina, was an absolute star, ensuring every thing was in place and going beyond to make sure nothing got in the way of us enjoying our time. The train journeys were comfortable and scenic. Hotels on the whole were nice, albeit 2 were not really in ideal locations insofar as after a good day of walking, on the nights meals were not provided meant you had a 25 minute walk back into Florence which is a tad too long or a journey on a water bus back into Venice to go eat as everything shut down in Murano of an evening. On the whole we loved it and would strongly recommend it being a great way to make memories. TIP: Pre-book the attractions before you go as tickets are not available on the day and GRJ don't actually inform you of this. It was a phone call from the tour manager 2 days before the trip which left little time really to get your head together to where you wanted to go to.

“A wonderful adventure!! We were looked after all the way by our amazing tour manager. The places we visited had been on my bucket list for some time and didn’t disappoint. Our whole group got on really well together. A wonderful experience. It’s our fourth Great Rail Journey’s holiday. Can’t praise them enough.

Rome, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast

26/May

Mr Knox

“This is a holiday I long wanted to go on seeing Pompeii and Herculaneum. It did not disappoint though the weather was not quite as expected due to some rain and low cloud. Amalfi and it’s history is amazing. The Archaeological Museum in Naples should be a must as well.
