DISCOVERIES AWAIT YOU
Whether in America, Asia or the UK, rail holidays are an amazing way to travel – and cost less than you might think
THERE are several misconceptions about holidays by train – that, for example, you only ever sleep on board, or that all journeys have to begin with a departure from London. But the one that is the widest of the mark is the idea that rail tours are enormously expensive.
There can be a belief that getaways along the tracks are trips of a lifetime which require a lot of saving and planning. But, in fact, many escapes by train are not just travel delights which offer a window on to special places. They can be remarkably good value for money.
Proof of this comes in the shape of Rail Discoveries – an operator of over four decades’ experience which is renowned for the great value of its holidays. Partly, this is due to just how much is included in the cost of a break. There is an emphasis on client convenience through options such as afternoon Eurostar trains from St Pancras International, hotels which are located in the centre of cities on the route, making evenings of exploration much simpler – and transfers to ensure you reach them quickly. Indeed, sightseeing is easy with Rail Discoveries, as many excursions are included in the price, from wine tastings to guided city tours.
Inclusivity is one of the Rail Discoveries calling cards. The company offers an enticing range of tours where most meals are provided – breakfasts, dinners, even packed lunches to keep you going while out on excursion. This means you know much of the cost of your trip before you leave. There are helpful extra touches, too – the chance to add a post-holiday extension to make the most of your time away; the expertise of the Rail Discoveries team, which is on hand to help before and after you travel. And a UK tour manager who greets every group at the start of the journey, and accompanies everyone throughout.
Rail Discoveries also offers a global spread of destinations, from the likes of Vietnam and India in Asia, to the wonders of the USA and Canada. Time to discover them for yourself.
