Escorted European Tours

Escorted Rail Tours in Europe

Explore the best of Europe, from its most prominent cities and brilliant architecture to its quaint medieval villages and historical sights, on European escorted tours by train. These vacations connect must-see destinations and exceptional sightseeing with travel aboard local, regional and high-speed trains, as well as by deluxe motorcoach. Traveling between countries on land offers the chance to fully immerse yourself in the unique culture and history that comes alongside each destination.

Embark on escorted tours in Western Europe to experience places like Paris and the wine regions of France; the fairytale-perfect landscapes of Bavaria in Germany or the vibrant cities of the Iberian Peninsula. Guided tours of Italy often consider the gastronomic and cultural delights of the country. On vacation packages that highlight the United Kingdom, places like London, Bath, Yorkshire and Wales beckon. Venture north in the UK to explore the picturesque Scottish Highlands with train tours on iconic rail lines, including the luxurious Royal Scotsman, or cross the Irish Sea to discover Ireland, including its famous castles and emerald expanses.

Join holidays that venture into Central Europe, and revel in the marvelous scenery that accompanies the Swiss and Austrian Alps. Continue to the far north to see the Northern Lights and dramatic fjords of the Land of the Midnight Sun. The Imperial cities of Vienna, Budapest and Prague are filled with colorful histories and stunning architecture. Travel to this region also presents the opportunity to join a famous rail line, such as the Golden Eagle Danube Express, or to combine your train vacation with a cruise on the Danube. Eastern Europe tours may also utilize Golden Eagle trains to explore Russia and Mongolia or to follow the legendary Silk Road. Ideal for seniors and for families alike, these group tours through Europe offer adventure at every turn.

Grand Train Tour of Switzerland - An Escorted Experience

“Wonderful experience!! Our first time to Europe and plan to use Vacations By Rail again next year.

LYMAN, JOHN
5 stars
“Excellent experience. No question that my experience was enhanced by the group leader, Without her knowledge, her genuine caring attitude, her humor, and her patience, this trip would have been rated 3.5-4 stars. There's no question a leader can make or break one's experience on a tour such as this...and our group leader (Kate) falls into the "make it" category.

“My only suggestion is that instead of day trips back to Inverness, it would be nice to have at least one, if not two nights' stay, at the location so we can visit the location, meet the locales, and enjoy some down time. Now it's a rush, rush, not even time to eat at the stops before it's time to board the train/bus and head back. The hotel was fine, food fine, bedding fine. No issue there.

“The Amadeus Cara was an excellent longship. The room, food, and staff was excellent. The rail portion of the trip was stressful due to most travelers not following baggage guidelines. You don't have to bring your entire closet because it is difficult to transport for you and your fellow travelers.
