BENEFITS OF GROUP TRAVEL

We can create an exclusive range of extraordinary rail tours for from 10 to 120 passengers that have been devised to satisfy even the most demanding travellers. You can choose from our extensive programme of scheduled departures and we can tailor the on and off-train, and pre- and post-tour activities to the requirements of your group.

 

The comfort and security, privacy and exclusivity, romance and elegance of luxury rail travel lend themselves to creating an intimate environment among groups small and large.

 

The practical and financial benefits we offer Groups are varied and, dependent on the destination, size of your group and the nature of the tour, may include:

 

Price Incentives

Free Place for Tour Leader/Group Organiser

Tour Leader’s Spouse/Partner at 50% for Groups of 20 – 39 people

Second Free Place for Groups of 40

No Single Supplements (Charters only)

Private transport and guides for off-train activities

Pre- and post-tour arrangements tailored to your group’s needs

Free Interpreter for non-English speaking groups of 10 or more

Free Transfers to and from the train

 

We have catered for groups with special interests as diverse as archaeology, wines, steam trains, Islamic art, architecture, Indian cuisine, eclipses, history of World War Two and many others.

 

So, whether you are responsible for an alumni association, sports club, educational group, travel club or other special interest groups, or you are arranging a family gathering, corporate or promotional event - if the group comprises at least 10 people you could benefit from talking to our Group Travel & Charter Team.
