Our trains contain some of the finest accommodation available in luxury train travel today, offering a high level of comfort; particularly important in the cabins, which will be your “hotel room” on wheels. All departures feature one or two lovingly designed restaurant cars and a spacious bar car. So, as well as enjoying the excellent food and wine served on board, you can sit with a drink while enjoying the good company and conversation of fellow travellers; and watch the changing landscapes unfold.

All our tours are run by an experienced tour manager and include a wide-ranging sight-seeing schedule to make the most of the time you have off the train for exploring. We believe that it is the special little touches that help create magical memories - whether it is attending a private concert in the middle of Siberia; drinking tea picked from the very plantations where you are sitting, nestled in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas; or visiting a local family home in the Steppes of Mongolia. Travelling with us will not only be an unforgettable experience but truly a Voyage of a Lifetime. We take the utmost care to ensure that all of your pre-booking, pre-departure and travel needs are met with the same high standards of service - whether you are enquiring about one of our tours or asking your onboard attendant to bring afternoon tea to your cabin.

Our tours are designed to allow you to enjoy your journey to the full, and leave the finer detail to us. The prices of most of our tours include arrival and departure transfers; meals both on and off the train; a generous drinks allowance with lunch and dinner; off-train excursions; all gratuities; and an on board doctor. If you wish we can also arrange your international flights and any extra hotel nights at additional cost.

STOP PRESS – Over the next two years we will be introducing guest speakers of the stature of the BBC’s John Simpson and Mark Tully onto selected tours. Further announcements will appear on our website in due course. I hope that the Voyages of a Lifetime by Private Train™ featured in the following pages will tempt you to join us. On behalf of myself and my team here at GW Travel, we look forward to welcoming you on board.
