About Great Rail Journeys
Taste the heart and soul of a country's national cuisine and
regional specialities, from tribal Sami delicacies to South African
bobotie. And after a delicious evening, you can settle into your
comfortable hotel as all of our tours use carefully-selected hotels
to ensure you enjoy excellent service.
We are accredited members of the Association of Independent Tour
Operators (AITO), The Association of Bonded Travel
Organisers Trust Limited (ABTOT) and the Association of
British Travel Agents (ABTA), so you can rest assured that you will
always receive the highest standards of customer service and
quality during your time away with us. All of our holidays are ATOL
protected.
In addition to Tour Managers, we also use local guides to ensure
that you discover all the local secrets you might miss if you were
travelling on your own. Should you choose not to join one of
our pre-planned excursions then your Tour Manager will be able to
offer advice on alternative sights in the region and any local
traditions you can experience on your tour.

A great number of our new customers ask us, "What is a Great
Rail Journeys tour like?" and "How does a Great Rail Journeys tour
work?". We offer escorted tours by rail and we appreciate that many
of our customers have never been on an escorted tour before, nor
have they ever traveled as part of a group or embarked on a holiday
by train, but we believe that the journey really is just the start
of the adventure. This is why we travel mainly by rail.
Trains are the most spacious and comfortable mode of long-haul
transport, as well as one of the greenest and most sociable. On a
train, you can simply sit back and relax, watching the
ever-changing scenery through the windows. Or you can stetch your
legs, walk about, and perhaps enjoying a conversation with your
accompanying travelers.
In addition to Tour Managers, we also use local guides to ensure
that you discover all the local secrets you might miss if you were
travelling on your own.
We are accredited members of the American Society of Travel
Agents (ASTA) and the NTA, and an asssoicate member of the United
States Tour Operators Association (USTOA) so you can rest assured
that you will always receive the highest standards of customer
service and quality during your time away with us.
