What can you expect from your Railtrail holiday?

Relaxing, nostalgic & environmentally

friendly

Travelling by plane or car generally means that the first

and last days of your holiday involve stress. Not so a rail

holiday. Sit back, relax and enjoy the view. Travelling by

train is also usually a sociable experience as well as an

environmentally friendly one. And don’t forget that the

train was the original transporter of holidaymakers

in the golden days of yore.

Escorted

For UK tours our Tour Manager will meet you en

route to your destination or at the destination

station. We have a small team of experienced,

knowledgeable and caring Tour Managers,

whose job it is to escort your holiday, leaving

you to relax and enjoy the experience.

Knowledge and Value

Every Railtrail tour has been thoroughly researched by

our well-travelled team. We select all our hotels for their

location, quality of service and facilities combined with

the warmth of their welcome, style and character. Every

tour in this brochure includes at least breakfast and dinner

every day of your stay at the hotel. Every excursion

mentioned in the tour highlights is included in the tour

fare too, although we do leave some time for your own

individual sightseeing, which means that there are no

hidden extras.

Extra Benefits Rewarding your Loyalty

The vast majority of our customers are either repeat

bookings or recommendations. Recognising this, Railtrail

is the only rail holiday company with a Loyalty Rewards

Scheme. For every pound spent you will receive Loyalty

Rewards Points on return from your holiday, which can

then be used as a discount on future tour bookings. And

should you recommend Railtrail to someone not already

on our database, then when they travel on their first tour

your Railtrail Rewards Loyalty account will also be credited

with the same number of points they receive.

A note about Luggage

We do include hotel porterage whenever we can, however

carrying luggage is the customer’s responsibility, including

on to or off a train (unless stated otherwise in the tour

itinerary). We would recommend a modest sized suitcase

with wheels and a retractable handle and a small piece of

hand baggage per person.

Our New Concierge Luggage Service

Did you know that it is possible to arrange to

have your luggage collected in advance from your

home and delivered to your UK or European tour

hotel, leaving you free to enjoy your holiday

by train even more? Using Railtrail’s luggage

service allows you to travel light on the first

and last days of your holiday. And this special

concierge service costs from as little as £85 per

case return. Contact us for further details.

your mainstay hotel. For tours featuring two or more

mainstay hotels, your luggage will be delivered to the first

hotel and collected from the last hotel.
