Asked on May 9th, 2025Is there any portion of the tour that travel is done by rail?
- ColletteOperator•Written May 2025
This tour on its own does not offer any train component. The only time a train is involved is the departure/end date for the 3-Night London Extension, which is available to add to this itinerary on select dates. Otherwise, all travel is done primarily by motor coach (modern bus or van) and a couple of ferry rides between destinations.
