Inspiring destinations within your reach
From the exotic charms of Asia to the undiscovered treasures of the UK, our wide range of holidays explore the most famous landmarks, natural wonders and cities of the world. Our escorted tours take you into the heart of a destination, whether that is twisting round snow-covered mountains, journeying across the Nevada dessert or experiencing the opulence of the Palace on Wheels. The included excursions on train journeys range from sight-seeing city tours and live concerts and trips to world-famous wonders like Niagara Falls and wildlife safaris. Each programme of excursions is carefully crafted to make sure you have the opportunity to experience the culture and learn about the history of the destination, whilst also having plenty of free time to explore independently or relax in your hotel. The highlight of many of our holidays is a rail journey on a heritage or narrow-gauge railway, which take you through scenery that is often inaccessible to other forms of transport. From the mighty renowned Amtrak services in the USA to the popular Jungfrau Express in Switzerland, these rail journeys are truly unforgettable. All our holidays also use rail for travelling to and from a destination whenever possible, as it gives you the chance to see spectacular landscapes, relax with a book or socialise with your fellow passengers.

All of our holidays are escorted by a professional Tour Manager, who is there to ensure that everything runs as planned whilst you are away, as well as to answer any questions that you may have. A local guide may also join your rail journey and Tour Manager on a selection of excursions to share their knowledge of the region's history and culture with the group. Whether you are on one of our standard or luxury rail holidays you will travel in comfort to ensure that you are as refreshed and relaxed as possible during and after your time with us. Most rail journeys are not overnight as accommodation is normally in a hotel and on journeys that are overnight a high standard of carriages are used. There is no "typical" hotel on your rail journey and accommodation is chosen due to the quality of its service and amenities, its value for money and its location. If guests are going to be staying in the same destination for a while we choose hotels that are close to nearby attractions, whilst on occasions that guests will be going on a rail journey the next day we use hotels that are close to transport links.
Our wide range of train journeys include short breaks in the UK, festive breaks, special interest holidays and single traveller programmes. Each of these rail journeys includes a selection of excursions and meals as well as all accommodation and transport and the services of a Tour Manager. One of the main highlights for many of our guests on our rail journeys however, is the sociable group atmosphere of our holidays. Meal times become social events which allow you to share your stories about the day's activities with like-minded people. The many other bonuses of our rail journeys is the added safety of travelling in a group and the fact that you can relax, never having to plan further ahead than the next activity of the day as everything is arranged for you.
Whether you are looking for a short break with an excellent selection of included excursions to make the most of your available time, or a comprehensive multi-centre break in the USA that offers a wide range of experiences, you will find a wide choice of itineraries on this website. Our holidays cover the globe, from famous European rail journeys to American and Indian adventures.
