It runs rail services linking Paris and Brussels with Amsterdam or Cologne. The trains are similar in design to French TGVs and can reach up to 190mph (305km/h) when travelling on dedicated high speed lines.

The Romantic Rhine

2/Jul

“We've been with GRJ now for many years. Last year with GRJ we enjoyed The Douro, this year we did The Rhine. It was absolutely brilliant, a great atmosphere on board with good organisational skills displayed by Lucy, the Cruise Director, and Andrew, the Tour Manager. The ship, officers and crew, were excellent. We had a problem at Eurostar Security in Paris coming home but Stephen, the homeward bound Tour Manager, was first class in helping to overcome the matter. Eurostar Security lost a suitcase off the conveyor belt and initially for 10 minutes did not show must interest then Stephen stepped in and as a result it was soon found, well done Stephen.

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.

“A very interesting and lovely holiday except for the tiring travel on the the way there and on return home spoiled by long travel hours through the European Football and the floods in Zurich. This was through no fault of Great Rail Journeys. Our Tour Guide Rick Jones was very good considering the problems encountered. Barbara & Martin WILLACY.
