Our rail holidays combine the romance of train travel with unforgettable scenery, allowing you to kick back and take in the ever-changing views, spectacular landscapes and historic cities, en route to your destination. From high-speed bullet trains to scenic mountain railways, travelling by train can turn your holiday travel into a proper adventure. Take a look at the best of our rail holidays…
There’s something magical and nostalgic about a rail holiday. It’s a chance to experience the journey as much as the destination, watching the views change through the window while you relax in comfort. Our carefully curated rail itineraries take you directly to the action and into the heart of your destination – no sat nav, no traffic jams, and no risk of getting lost to worry about. We’ll coordinate all your tickets so that all you need to do is relax and watch the world go by – literally.
In Japan, the famous bullet trains make it easy to travel between Tokyo’s busy streets, historic Nagoya, and Osaka, known for its amazing food, all in a short amount of time. Portugal offers a mix of experiences, from Porto’s port wine cellars and colourful tiled buildings to Aveiro’s canals and boats, Coimbra’s historic university, and Lisbon’s lively streets. In eastern Canada, you can travel by train between Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, and Halifax, with the flexibility and freedom to explore at your own pace.
Rail travel also gives you space to relax, letting you stretch out your legs, and simply enjoy the constantly changing scenery. It’s also one of the more sustainable ways to travel, letting you experience multiple cultures and cities while keeping your carbon footprint low.

First class service with Dave Felton. He booked our Silverseas cruise within the day. Nothing was too much trouble. He is always our go to travel agent. Thank you
Just booked the ABC islands with Rachel. Very straightforward and helpful.
best ever booking experience, came straight back with prices and details. If the holiday is as good we'll be back,
We have been booking our holidays through Nick at Eshores for quite a few years now and our trips have always been very well organised, Nicks attention to detail is spot on, he knows what types of locations we love, and we trust his opinions and suggestions. That’s the reason we’ve just booked two more…
Many thanks again to Kadie for sorting our holiday. This is the second time and very happy to return for help again after the totally amazing trip she arranged to Vietnam. One small blip on accommodation at one resort last time but eShores staff responded quickly and everything was easily sorted. Highly recommend eShores to…
This is the second time using e-Shores and we can't recommend them highly enough. Emily, who we've worked with on both occasions, is extremely professional, knowledgeable, diligent and has made great suggestions. The process of getting quotes, booking and making payments has been painless and I'd say we will be regular cuatomers going forward.
Amazing service
We travelled with eShores to Andalucia last year, and Emily did an amazing job of compiling an itinerary with good but affordable hotels - we would heartily recommend each one that she chose for us, and all the arrangements between cities worked beautifully. This year we have gone back to her for another holiday and…
This is my second holiday with eshore. The service I received was excellent. Kelly was very professional, understood all my requirements and booked a fantastic holiday for us. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Kelly and definitely recommend friends to book holidays with her. A real 5 star service.
As always, our go-to girl came through with a fab itinerary for our very last minute booking to USA. Kadie arranged another 3 city break and made sure everything fitted in with our requirements. Always use eShores for our bespoke long distance travels and they never fail to provide excellent service.
eShores is a fantastic company for crafting tailor made itineraries. I have just booked my fourth trip with them, this time to Colombia. Gavin was exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble in meeting my wishes even though it requred a lot of back and forth adjustments. If this is anything like my previous…
Matt Got us everything we wanted for our USA trip
I have yet to take the holiday so I can't comment on the hotels and transport provided etc but Nick was very helpful with the booking. Despite me asking numerous questions he sorted out exactly what I asked for within my budget. Thank you
So far our experience with eShores has been great. Of course the real test will be when we are on holiday so hopefully this will continue :)
