The Rail Discoveries Experience

Well planned

Each Rail Discoveries holiday has an individual programme of excursions that has been carefully selected to introduce guests to all of the natural, cultural and historic highlights of the regions that they visit. The many activities and excursions that are included vary from river cruises to concerts and sightseeing tours. Many breaks also feature journeys on heritage railways, which visit regions that often cannot be reached by other modes of transport.

All of Rail Discoveries holidays are escorted by a professional and courteous Tour Manager who will ensure that your holiday runs smoothly. On many excursions, local guides also join the group helping to bring alive the history and culture of the places you visit with their in-depth knowledge of the region and its attractions. This means that whether you are joining a short UK train holiday, or a longer tour of central Europe, you can be sure that you will get the most out of your time away.
