What people love about Train & Rail Tours from London
- Da Vinci Way
Thank you interrailingpackages for everything. you went above and beyond to meet all of my requests and also included some day trips. the accommodations were in SUPER areas and so close to the centres. everything was great and i couldnt fault it
- Whole of Europe Group Rail Tour (18-35)
Our tour guide was always on hand when we needed him. Everything was organised from getting us to each destination and getting our daily travel tickets. All the activities were great but the gondolas in Italy (venice) were my highlight! Richard was always on hand when we needed him from getting lost around places and being a phone call away in helping. It was a good way to meet people when a solo traveller and everything is done for you! 5/5!
- Whole Hog: 2 Weeks - Self Guided Rail Tour
I chose the Central Europe Tour in July so I could get to meet new people, get shown around & get advice too, and we visited some great cities with some great people. Also amazing to sample different food & cultures. Some of the world's biggest & most important cities were included on the trip and there was a good variety of set activities which encouraged me to do things I wouldn't normally do. The gondola ride was so relaxed and a must-do activity in Venice. The palace in Austria was a bit short and may have been better with an audio guide but it was also good to get an idea of the things to do which also generated discussion within the group. Our tour leader Richard was very informative and approachable, easy going & gave loads of suggestions and places to go to cater to everyone's needs!

From London you'll start on the Eurostar to Paris, where you can continue east to Amsterdam and Berlin, or head south toward Switzerland and Italy.

One of our TourRadar travelers said they loved watching the scenery change dramatically through the Alps and along the Rhine River valley.
How long do train tours from London usually last?
Most train tours from London run between 10 and 29 days. The sweet spot tends to be around 15 days for exploring Central Europe, while month-long trips let you see much more of the continent. You'll stay at convenient places like Generator Hostels in Berlin and St Christopher's in Amsterdam - all picked so you can easily explore each city.
Which multi-city train routes from London do people like most?
Two routes stand out as favorites: London-Paris-Amsterdam-Berlin and London-Paris-Nice-Rome-Venice. The trip from London through France to Nice takes about 9 hours, and travelers especially enjoy the stretch from Venice to Ljubljana. You'll stay at well-located hotels near main stations, like properties close to St. Pancras in London and near Gare du Nord in Paris.
Where do train tours usually start in London?
Most tours begin at St. Pancras International Station, where you'll catch your Eurostar train. Some tours also use London Euston for heading north or Liverpool Street Station. One happy traveler told us: "The check-in process at St. Pancras was smooth and well-organized, with clear signage and helpful staff." Many people stay at the Premier Inn or Pullman Hotel right by St. Pancras.

Many travelers stay at places like the Meininger Hotel in Amsterdam or Generator in Berlin between legs of their journey.
Which cities do you usually change trains in when heading to Eastern Europe from London?
You'll typically change trains in Paris, Amsterdam, or Berlin when traveling east. Paris Nord station is a key transfer point, and Berlin's main station (Hauptbahnhof) is your gateway to Eastern Europe. Most travelers stay near these stations at places like MEININGER Hotel by Berlin Central Station or Ibis Paris Gare du Nord.
