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.
