Sometimes the journey should be part of the holiday.
Travel by rail and watch the landscape change outside your window, arrive in the heart of fascinating cities and experience places you might otherwise simply fly over.
Your rail holiday could be as simple as a Eurostar city break to Paris, a multi-city journey through Europe or an extraordinary adventure aboard one of the world's iconic trains.
At Mapping Your Travel, we can bring the different elements together, arranging your rail travel, hotels, flights, transfers, excursions and additional stays to create one seamless journey.
Eurostar & European Rail Breaks - Closer Than You Think
You don't need to travel halfway around the world to have a great rail adventure.
Take the Eurostar from London into Europe, stay for a few nights or continue your journey by rail to another city.
Paris could be just the beginning.
Best for: City breaks • Short breaks • Multi-city Europe • Flight-free adventures
Travel from London to Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam, or continue further into Europe by rail.
Combine cities such as Paris with Switzerland, travel through Italy by train or create a longer European itinerary with carefully chosen hotels and experiences along the way.
And you don't have to travel home the same way. Perhaps you'd like to travel through Europe by rail and fly home, or fly out and enjoy a more leisurely journey back by train.
We'll bring together your Eurostar, onward rail travel, accommodation, excursions and flights where required, creating one seamless journey without you having to book each part separately.
"Went like clockwork!"
Trustpilot Review
I was organising a surprise holiday for my husband. Sarah did a grand job and it went like clockwork. A totally personal and bespoke service involving 3 train journeys and 3 destinations in Europe with a flight back. Sarah worked within our budget.
Before travel Sarah made sure I had access to everything I needed app wise and the guide me app was a god send. Sarah check in on our arrival and again later to make sure everything was going to plan. I raised a query on a city tax that we had been charged and she immediately got onto it organising a refund. As well as checking in on our return to update me. Definitely an above and beyond service and will definitely use them again.
A real example of how we can combine rail journeys, multiple destinations, accommodation and flights into one seamless European holiday.
Iconic Rail Journeys - When the Train Is the Destination Too
Some trains aren't simply a way of reaching somewhere. They're the reason for travelling.
Cross Australia aboard The Ghan, experience the Canadian Rockies by rail or step aboard a legendary luxury train for a journey where the service, dining and atmosphere are every bit as memorable as the scenery.
Best for: Bucket-list travel • Luxury • Scenery • Special occasions
Travel through the heart of Australia aboard The Ghan, experience the spectacular Canadian Rockies aboard Rocky Mountaineer, journey across Canada with VIA Rail, or step back into the golden age of rail travel aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
These iconic journeys can become the centrepiece of a much larger tailor-made holiday. We can arrange hotels, touring, flights, transfers and additional destinations around your time onboard, creating a complete journey rather than simply booking the train.
You could even combine your rail adventure with a cruise - perhaps travelling through the Canadian Rockies before joining an Alaska sailing.
A rail journey can fit beautifully into a wider touring holiday.
Perhaps travel independently by rail before joining a small-group tour, incorporate an iconic train journey into a private itinerary or use rail to connect different parts of a country.
Imagine travelling through Japan by high-speed train, experiencing Sri Lanka's hill-country railway as part of a private tour, or adding an iconic rail journey to an escorted adventure.
We can bring the different parts together into one carefully planned holiday, combining rail tickets, touring, hotels, transfers, excursions and flights around your itinerary.
A cruise doesn't have to start with a flight to the embarkation port.
Combine a European rail journey with a cruise, travel across Canada before an Alaska sailing or incorporate one of the world's great train journeys into a longer cruise & stay adventure.
We'll help create a journey *around where you want to go, what you want to experience and how you like to travel, bringing the different elements together into one carefully planned holiday.
Whether it's a Eurostar weekend or a once-in-a-lifetime journey across a continent, talk to us about where the railway could take you.
