Group Travel

You will be treated as an individual, with every opportunity to mix with your group of like-minded travellers or to do your own thing. Groups are small enough for you to get to know everyone if you wish, but large enough to ensure you'll find someone whose particular company you'll enjoy.

Whilst our customers may be couples or single travellers, and come from all backgrounds, they are usually aged between 45 and 75 and share a passion for travel with a touch of adventure. Common interests often include current affairs, gardening and history.

In the end, it's entirely up to you how much time you wish to spend with other members of the group, whether you want to share a table at mealtimes, go sight-seeing together or share your experiences at the end of the day.

A UNIQUE HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE

With a Great Rail Journeys holiday you have all the advantages of travelling in a group, such as the opportunity to socialise with people who have a similar outlook to you, people to swap experiences with, the possibility of making new friends and, of course, the knowledge and expertise of a Tour Manager. The tours and excursions that you take together are where you're most likely to share mutual interests and will provide plenty of talking points amongst the group.

On the other hand, you can be as individual as you wish. Over the years, we've come to know our customers very well and we know they are often experienced travellers who may take several holidays a year and know exactly what they want. Each of our escorted tours is as unique as the people who are on it. It's hardly surprising that everyone comes home having had a holiday which is a very personal experience.
