VACANCIES

 


Celebrating Over 50 Years of Unforgettable Rail Adventures

For half a century, Great Rail Journeys has been at the forefront of crafting extraordinary rail adventures. Our guiding philosophy is simple yet profound: the journey itself is an integral part of your adventure. As you enjoy the stunning landscapes from your train window, our dedicated team ensures an immersive and seamless travel experience. 


Why Travel with Great Rail Journeys?

Travel with the experts

As specialists in destinations all over the world, we put together engaging, authentic excursions which connect you local cultures. Carefully curated itineraries bring to life each destination offering you a unique insight into each place you visit.

With you every step of the way

Our Tour Managers are at hand to manage all the details, so your journey is smooth, enjoyable and effortless. By rail is a relaxed and comfortable way to travel, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the journey, taking in the changing scenery which passes your window.

Leaders in escorted rail holidays

With decades of accolades and awards as the UK's leading rail escorted tour provider, and over 50 years of experience, we remain the experts in train travel. Our itineraries are regularly crafted, improved and updated to ensure you get the most out of your holidays.

A shared sense of belonging

Inspired by the Dutch concept of 'gezellig' - the warm feeling of wellbeing and togetherness that comes from being part of a social group - an escorted tour with Great Rail Journeys means travelling with like-minded people enjoying good company and shared experiences.

Creating Memorable Experiences 



Our expert Tour Managers

At the heart of every journey is our team of experienced Tour Managers. They're more than just guides; they're your companions, ensuring that every aspect of your trip run smoothly. From logistical support to sharing insider knowledge, they're dedicated to making your travel experience stress-free and enriching.


 




Leaders in immersive travel

We're proud of being pioneers in our approach to group sizes across our full range, and opening the door to more immersive travel. On our exclusive small group tours, there's an average of 22 travellers and a maximum of 25, with some even lower at just 16, so you'll enjoy enhanced experiences, accommodation and transport which would be off-limits to larger groups.



Excursions that blend culture, history, and adventure

Whether it's learning to cook in an Italian farmhouse, greeting the sunrise in Halong Bay, or traversing the Alps on a historic railway, our excursions are nothing short of fantastic. Our award-winning itineraries delve into the rich history and culture of each destination, offering a perfect mix of iconic and off-the-beaten-path experiences.
