Rail Holidays for you
With the advent of new style trains both here in the UK and in Europe such as the TGV and Eurostar, to say nothing of iconic trains like the bullet trains in Japan, Blue train in South Africa, Rocky Mountaineer in Canada, you don’t have to be a rail buff to appreciate this very relaxed way of travelling.
No airport ques - city to city – more direct to where you want to be with the added bonus of sightseeing on the way.
We can build a train experience into any itinerary, so take a look at a few examples and maybe that Orient Express special occasion trip is not far away.
