Reviews of 3 day Train & Rail Tours
- From Delhi: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Baby Taj Tour by Gatimaan Express Train
A day trip to Taj Mahal by Gatimaan Express train was a good choice to visit the Taj Mahal in just one day with return to Delhi. Tour guide and driver both were nice and i really liked the tour.
- All Inclusive - Taj Mahal and Agra Fort by Superfast Train: Private Day Tour from Delhi
Aamir was a great tour guide! He showed us everything and explained us the history of the Taj Mahal and Amber Fort. He was also very friendly and helpful
- From Delhi: Taj Mahal Private Tour By Gatiman Express Train
Same day Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan is an awesome way to explore the Taj Mahal in a single day. Train was super fast and it took 90 minutes to reach to Agra. Taj Mahal is a symbol of love and Agra Fort is a second building we visited which was an UNESCO World heritage listed site. We highly recommend the tour for the travelers who have limited days and want to explore Taj Mahal in a single day with return to Delhi.
What our customers ask about 3 Day Train & Rail Tours & Trips
What are the best seasons for taking a 3-day train tour?
Your best time to go depends on where you're headed. If you're eyeing the Swiss Alps and the Glacier Express, book between June and September when it's usually 68-77°F (20-25°C) with great visibility. For India's Golden Triangle, plan your trip from October to March when temperatures are comfortable at 68-86°F (20-30°C). The Canadian VIA Rail is fantastic in summer (June-August) at around 77°F (25°C), though you might enjoy the snow-covered scenes in winter too. If you're interested in Norway's Bergen Railway, go between May and September when the days are longest and temperatures stay around 59-68°F (15-20°C).
What are the must-see highlights on 3-day train tours?
Each route has its own special spots you won't want to miss. In Switzerland, you'll get amazing views of the Matterhorn from Zermatt and cross the Oberalp Pass at 6,670 feet. The Golden Triangle in India takes you to the Taj Mahal, Amber Fort, and the historic sites of Delhi. In Canada, you'll pass by the beautiful Muskoka Lakes and wide-open prairies. As one TourRadar traveler told us: "The changing scenery from the Glacier Express panoramic windows was breathtaking, especially crossing the 291 bridges and 196 tunnels through the Swiss Alps."
What are the most scenic train routes offered on 3-day rail journeys?
The Rocky Mountaineer's route from Rainforest to Gold Rush gives you front-row views of Mount Robson and takes you across the Deep Creek Bridge. On The Ghan, you'll travel through Australia's Red Center from Adelaide to Darwin. The Glacier Express winds through the Swiss Alps, going over hundreds of bridges and through tunnels, with endless views of mountain forests and meadows. One TourRadar traveler said it best: "The changing scenery of the Swiss Alps was simply unbelievable from the panoramic windows."
What type of accommodation can I expect on 3-day train tours?
You'll find different options depending on your route and tour. Most trips mix train travel with hotel stays. In Switzerland, you'll stay in nice mid-range hotels in places like St. Moritz and Zermatt. The Traditional Heritage Haveli in Jaipur gives you a real taste of Indian culture. If you're on an overnight train like VIA Rail in Canada, you can choose from basic berths to private cabins with their own bathrooms. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The train accommodation was comfortable and well-maintained, though hotels in cities were basic but clean and conveniently located."
What kind of meals are typically included on 3-day train tours?
Most tours cover your breakfast and some meals on the train. On the Glacier Express, you'll get a 3-course meal at your seat while watching the Alps go by. VIA Rail in Canada serves fresh meals in their dining car throughout the day. The Gatimaan Express in India provides breakfast and dinner on board, plus stops where you can try local food. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The meal service on the Glacier Express was excellent, with regional specialties served while taking in the stunning mountain views."
How much luggage can I bring on a 3-day train tour?
Each train has its own rules. On the Glacier Express and Bergen Railway, you can usually bring one big suitcase and a carry-on. Indian trains like the Gatimaan Express let you bring two bags. On VIA Rail Canada, you can check two bags and carry one on board. Our TourRadar travelers suggest keeping it simple: "While storage space is available both on trains and at hotels like the Traditional Heritage Haveli in Jaipur, managing with one medium-sized suitcase makes transfers between trains and hotels much easier."
What iconic rail routes are covered in 3-day train journeys?
You've got some amazing options to choose from. The Bergen Railway connects Oslo to Bergen through Norway's fjords, while The Ghan takes you through Australia's outback from Darwin to Adelaide. The Indian Pacific travels from Adelaide to Sydney, stopping in the historic mining town of Broken Hill. The Rocky Mountaineer goes from Vancouver to Jasper through the Canadian Rockies, with overnight stops at places like the Courtyard by Marriott. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The Bergen Railway is Northern Europe's highest and Norway's most famous railroad line, passing through some of Norway's most beautiful landscapes."
