Welcome
‘I want it instantly’ seems a popular view of today’s fast-paced society. However, since organising my first
escorted holiday by train 37 years ago ‘instant’ has not been a key part of compiling our tour programme.
The word that has always been at the forefront for us is … quality.
In this new brochure for 2017 you will find a portfolio of quality tours that have evolved over nearly four
decades, along with a sprinkling of brand new tours to capture your imagination.
Touring the Scottish Highlands has always been an essential ingredient in this annual brochure and along
with many old favourites we are including this year, for the first time, the
Scottish Highlands Steam & Malt
Trail
to activate your taste buds, whilst
Burns Country, Arran and the Causeway Coast
combines Scotland
with Ireland for the first time.
With the
Dorset Coast & Isle of Wight Steam
also being added we can safely say we cover the length and
breadth of the UK and when you have finished your armchair tour of the UK simply flip over the brochure to
discover what it’s like to explore Europe with Railtrail Tours.
However, we can offer you one ‘instant’ service – It only takes an instant to book onto a tour, either online
or by calling our friendly Customer Services team, who will be pleased to help and answer any queries you
may have.
As always, we look forward to having the pleasure of your company on tour with
Railtrail.
