Welcome
I am pleased to invite you on board to view our
Railtrail Classic European
tour collection for 2015, superb
escorted holidays by train taking you on Great Continental Railway Journeys through stunning scenery to
incredible destinations.
During 2014 we welcomed to the Railtrail team Rob Carroll, who is quite probably the most experienced
and well known European rail holiday specialist in the business of rail holidays. With his and our combined
experience and commitment to quality of service we have been developing our portfolio of European
classic rail holidays.
We are delighted to launch both here and in our separate
Railtrail Signature Tours
brochure, the first
of these
NEW
tours
, with fabulous Lake Garda, Venice and The Italian Lakes appearing in our Classic
collection for the first time. We trust they will prove as attractive to you as our original, ever-popular tours.
We have also started a new initiative, contracting a professional film company to accompany and film
some of our tours, to enable you to preview a previous departure of your Railtrail holiday. The first of
these films –
Swiss Mountain Steam
– can be viewed at
www.railtrail.co.ukalong with our latest UK film
following some of the
superb Scottish rail journeys
that feature in a variety of our Highlands tours. To
the best of my knowledge this approach is unique in our business. When viewing these films you will not
see a “promotional tourism video”, but OUR clients on OUR tours – such is the confidence we have in our
holidays and your enjoyment of them.
From recent client feedback we see that ‘all-inclusive’ is now frequently requested. We are delighted to
announce in this brochure our first all-inclusive European tour-
Switzerland More Inclusive
- to the stunning,
picturesque, car-free village of Mürren in the Swiss Alps. Surrounded by high alpine peaks and meadows,
your holiday includes lunch in the revolving Piz Gloria restaurant at the summit of the Schilthorn, known
as the “James Bond” mountain for its 007 film connections. You can as ever be assured of our continuing
commitment to Railtrail’s first class quality of service to give you the very best escorted holiday by rail.
I trust you will enjoy your armchair travel browsing our Classic European pages; “flip over” for our Classic UK
tours - and visit
