“From start to finish the trip was well planned. The administration was comprehensive and helpful. The tour guide contacted each traveller before the journey commenced and provided lots of additional itinerary information and advice. The hotels were good and the itinerary did not disappoint. There were a couple of free days but with optional choices for those seeking more trips. The company app was very useful: it had weather information, currency conversions, hotel locations and much more. The other travellers were great fun and we had a wonderful time. The scenery was amazing and the trip was an absolute pleasure, which we recommend highly to others.

Glacier Express & The Romantic Rhine
20/Jun
Duncan
5 stars
“One of the best holidays we've ever had. We now realise that the cruise companies have a lot to deal with to ensure traveller satisfaction, and Mother Nature can affect things. Our weather forecast wasn't too good before we sailed, but we then had sunny and warm weather throughout the cruise, and beyond. Cruise staff, in all parts of the boat were attentive and pleasant, fellow travellers friendly and good fun, and our cruise and rail managers guided us carefully, ensuring all connections were met, and did so in a friendly, informative manner. The Rhine water was very high, and did affect one stop, so rainfall will always be a big factor to consider. But we fully intend to travel with Great Rail Journeys in future.
