Escorted Tours & Holidays by Steam Train

When you embark on one of our steam train holidays you will be drawn into an idyllic world where time slows down and relaxation is at the forefront of your mind. Steam rail tours let you soak up unparalleled vistas of glossy lakes and verdant valleys that are overlooked by stately mountains.  Relive the bygone age of rail travel on one of our many tours within the UK and mainland Europe that incorporate wonderfully scenic journeys on historic steam railways.

Journey along the narrow-gauge railway that winds to the summit of these exquisite peaks and witness their natural splendour. If you prefer to stay closer to home on steam rail tours, then travel with us on a number of the UK's well-loved steam railways, including the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, the Severn Valley Railway and the Ffestiniog Railway.

Steam Railway Journeys

A little further afield, our steam rail tours give you the opportunity to experience the wonderful steam railways of Germany's Harz Mountains and the Achenseebahn and Zillertalbahn in the Austrian Tyrol.

On many of our steam rail tours you will be accompanied by a Tour Manager who ensures your journey is as pleasurable as possible. Discover the unique culture and history of the places that you visit on guided sightseeing tours or explore the area further on optional excursions. Wherever you choose to let our steam rail tours take you, you will be assured a most unique experience.

The inimitable sounds and smell of the steam train evokes an idealistic past and coupled with immense scenery, you will soon become submersed in the romantic atmosphere. Browse through our selection of steam rail tours and experience an extraordinary holiday with Great Rail Journeys.

“The usual excellent holiday with a good guide. It was a pity that the planned railway journey on the last day couldn’t happen because the railway had shut for winter. In fairness, we were given plenty of warning that this was the case

“The trip and scenery and food were fantastic. As well as the accommodations! Our guide, Rosie is what really pulled the trip together...she was wonderful!! Improvements: The roads are very winding and too much time on the coaches, sometimes made us out of sorts. Drivers were excellent...
