Highland Adventure

“The tour was very well organized, and our guide Garth Long was very helpful and considerate of all in the group. There was quite a bit of coach traveling involved, the busses were modern and comfortable though, and they made it possible to visit the heritage railways not always close by. The Palace Hotel in Inverness was very nice, the staff friendly and the meals good. They even had haggis and black pudding, which I had to try, visiting Scotland for the first time. Against all odds I actually liked both ;-) The hotel has a very nice and spa and fitness with a large indoor swimming pool. It's free of charge and offers a nice opportunity to relax before dinner after a long 'on the rails'. The office staff of Great Rails has been very helpful in organizing the tour for us. We probably required a little more explanation of how things work, not being from the UK. Five stars to the sales office as well!

Harz Mountains and Rhine Gorge

22/Jun

Rosemary Furley

“It is a very interesting historical part of Germany to visit, which hour planned visit made the most of. The friendliness of the group was encouraged by the relaxed manner of the tour leader and his ability to be concerned with individuals interests. He dealt excellently with the sudden rail and boat cancellations which occurred, some due to the weather conditions, keeping us informed, even making them seem fun and organising alternative arrangements. A very enjoyable railway holiday.

Edinburgh, Fort William and The West Highlands

20/Jun

Mr Coker

“Excellent tour with a great tour guide - the only problem was that the Hotel in the highlands did not have a lift. My wife has difficulty with stairs and we nor the Tour Manager knew in advance that this was a problem. If we had known we would have asked for one of the few ground floor rooms. The DDA has been in force for a long time.
