All Aboard Our Last Minute Rail Tours

“Great adventure. Exciting way to see the countryside. New perspective

“Our experience with Highlights of Switzerland and Italy by Rail was excellent! The trip was well-organized, the accommodations met or exceeded our expectations, and we thoroughly enjoyed the excursions and small group tours. A special thanks to the staff of Vacations by Rail staff, including Derek Espinosa, Gwen Freeman, Chrissy Brown, and Jeffrey for their support in making this a memorable experience for us.

“Great trip, trains were great and scenery spectacular.

“Our experience on the Cuisine & Culture tour gave us the best vacation we've had. Communication, documentation and responses before the trip were always prompt. Transfers and escorts were timely and invaluable since we had minimal knowledge of the language and transportation customs. The guides were high quality, friendly and very accommodating. Hotels in Rome and Florence were wonderful. However, the hotel in Venice was not quite as good. In all the combination of tours and unplanned down time that Cuisine & Culture scheduled was just right. I would highly recommend the Superior package for first time travelers to Italy.

“All rail staff is to be commended for the jobs they do. Everyone is very helpful and friendly .

“This can be expensive for some people. Maybe you should offer discounts to older travelers.

“The travel arrangements were great. All airport/train station to and from the Hotels were spot on. Private tour guides were first rate.

“It is a trip of a lifetime when done in winter. Everything that we were looking for visually. Made some new friends and a bunch of memories.

“All the appointments were kept on time. The hotel room in Seville had a bad smell, they could not move us to another room until the following day. Tours were good.
