Best rail holidays

Yes, if it’s the most cost-effective option for your trip. Our tech compares the cost of using a Eurail or Interrail pass versus booking individual train tickets, and selects whichever offers the best value for your specific journey. Either way, your personalised journey guide will clearly organise your tickets, and our support team will be on hand to ensure you feel confident using your pass or tickets throughout your trip.

Generally, the sooner the better! This means you’ll have access to the best possible prices and availability for your holiday (although we don't advise booking over a year in advance, as many hotels have not released their availability). In most cases, booking six months or more in advance is ideal. However, if you're more flexible on price, dates, and hotel options, all of our trips have the option to book as late as ten days prior to departure, where available.

This depends on the reason for the missed departure. On many of your train journeys, you’ll be able to just hop on to the next available train if your missed departure is because of a delay or cancellation on your previous train. If, however, the reason you missed your departure is not due to a late-running or cancelled connection, you may need to purchase a new ticket at your own expense. We’ll set up a WhatsApp group and give you access to our out of hours emergency telephone number while you’re travelling, so you’ll be able to get in touch for advice should you miss one of your scheduled departures.
