Great Rail Journeys Discount Code April 2024

Each tour has a set number of departures with limited group size. Many tours fill quickly so it is always advisable to book early to get your preferred choice of dates. They do not offer late booking discounts so there is no benefit in delaying booking your holiday - in fact, many of their tours come with an early booking discount. A deposit is needed to fully reserve any of their holidays. Once you have booked and paid them the appropriate deposit for your holiday, they guarantee that you will not be surcharged. This means that even if a cost increase is imposed upon them by a supplier - for example, due to an increase in fuel costs - and they need to increase the holiday price for all new bookings, they guarantee that a price rise will not affect you if you have already booked your holiday. Conversely, if a price drops after you’ve booked, they’ll pass on the difference to you. It really does pay to book early.

There are four ways to book a holiday:

[LIST]

[*] Directly from this website by clicking on the ‘View dates & prices’ button on your chosen holiday page.

[*] By telephoning their Tour Advisors on the number shown with your chosen holiday on the website or on the relevant page in their brochure. Their Tour Advisors will be happy to complete your booking details and make a deposit by card payment over the telephone.

[*] By telephoning their Tour Advisors to make a provisional booking. They will hold the place(s) on your chosen holiday for up to 48 hours.

[*] They also sell their holidays through selected travel agents.

Excursions are included in the price of your holiday. They are designed to give a balance of cultural, historical and social interest and to give you insight into the areas they visit. They try to use trains for excursions, however, they sometimes utilize coaches or boats to get to places of interest. Where coaches are used, these are of high quality and aim to keep coach journeys to a maximum of two hours between stops. On most excursions, in addition to your Tour Manager, we are accompanied by a local guide to impact specialist knowledge of the sights being visited. Some excursions are to off-the-beaten-track destinations that simply would not be stumbled upon without this local knowledge.
