Great Rail Journeys
A word from Great Rail Journeys:
Great Rail Journeys has been organising holidays by train for over thirty years and we are now the UK's largest operator of holidays by rail.
Great Value Holidays
The price of your holiday includes all transport and accommodation as well as a range of meals and excursions, so that you have very little to pay while you are away on the trip. Our guests are usually pleasantly surprised at how little they had to pay for when they were actually on holiday.
Choice of Holidays
We offer a wonderful selection of holidays by rail, from intimate tours of the Scottish Highlands and Islands to the epic Trans-Siberian Express. You can personalise your holiday by adding rail travel from your local station, a stay in a London hotel, upgraded seats or maybe even some extra time at your final destination.
Tour Managers
Our Tour Managers are courteous, friendly and professional, sociable, organised and unflappable. Their backgrounds are varied and include business, social service, teaching and the travel industry. It goes without saying that they are passionate about travel and eager to help you fill your journey with fond memories. Your Tour Manager will ensure that arrangements made by our office come to fruition hundreds of miles away on your holiday and that any local difficulties are overcome before you are even aware of them.
Industry Associations
In addition to the recognition we have received for sustainable tourism, Great Rail Journeys is also a full member of ABTA and AITO. Essentially this means that we are committed to providing high standards of business practice for the benefits of our guests, our staff and the travel industry at large.
Sustainable Tourism
All tourism potentially has an environmental, social and economic impact on the destinations involved, and we recognise our duty to respect and preserve the culture of the places we visit. Great Rail Journeys takes this responsibility seriously and has been awarded AITO's 4-star status in recognition of its commitment to the Sustainable Tourism policy.
Rail travel is one of the most ecologically-friendly means of transport and using trains as much as possible during our holidays is one way we endeavour to minimise the negative effects of tourism on our environment. Our Sustainable Tourism practices extend to our Head Office, where we try to minimise pollution and energy loss, and conserve natural resources by recycling products wherever possible.
