Excellent trip, knowledgeable guides - a well .managed and happy experience.
A wonderful trip, efficiently managed, opened our eyes to the beauty and splendour that Tuscany has to offer. Will return again for sure!
Great Tour with Excellent tour manager (Ros) who manged to change a problem room in the hotel for us, and sorted out alternate travel as a rail strike was on going. Holiday was great as saw all the sights, Pisa & Florence, holiday is very train heavy first 2 and last day, even for seasoned GRJ customers, my advice would be too book in advance the museums for your free days like we did. Highlights for me was a great guide in SIenna, and for my dad Lucca & the last hotel in St Raphael in the marina was very enjoyable. Would book again with GRJ as excellent company to deal with
A brilliant tour expertly managed by Ros Adley who couldn’t do enough to help us individually and as a group, Well done to you all including the back office staff.
Well organised travel to our destination. Great hotels en route. The Montecatini hotel was more 3star but fine room short on drawers/shelves. Trip to Lucca and Pisa not enough time and I suspect we got off at the wrong station in Pisa.
It was a very enjoyable trip although quite hectic.The tours were 2 hours long plus walking to join them. The tour manager was lovely but not always as well prepared as she could have been. No maps and sketchy communication sometimes. Local guides were excellent
Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Everything ran smoothly. Hotels were of a high standard as was the food. Certainly will consider further trips.
A great holiday, well planned and run. Accommodation was good and visits were interesting. Would have been 5* but the length of time travelling to get to and from the "base" for the holiday was just too much for us, taking 4 of the 9 days total holiday.
It was a lovely holiday but the travelling there and back was too long.
Very well organised and run by tour manager. Some concerns about main hotel used. Possibly a little too much packed in
This was another holiday I went on with Great Rail Journeys. Ian was our tour manager and was excellent in making this a great holiday. We encountered a few travel problems with train strikes and traffic problems, things that were completely out of Ian's control, but he dealt with everything very professionally and quietly re-arranging trains and trips so that we would never have known these problems existed. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday with no problem. We were also given the option of a night at the opera, this was optional and an extra cost, but I'm so glad we got to experience it, it was a wonderful evening. This was my 4th holiday with this company and number 5 is now booked for next year.

This holiday was really well organised. The travel, tours, tour guides and the hotels in Turin and the south of France were all excellent. The main Hotel Columbia in Montecatini Terme was however disappointing. It's position near the railway station was ideal and the view from the 5th floor restaurant was wonderful, but the food and service was sadly very poor. Our group of 39 people was also a little too large, but everyone in the group was really nice, so it was a lovely holiday. Now looking to book my next GRJ holiday.
Main hotel in Montecatini Terme was disappointing to say the least. Was definitely not the level of accommodation expected from Great Rail Journeys or in any way comparable to the stops on way there or return journey. We would not consider booking another holiday to be so let down on the experience.
Just an all round fantastic trip from start to finish. Beautiful cities, food, hotels, highly recommended.

I would not participate in a Great Rail Journey again unfortunately. The trains although largely on time are not GREAT in many areas. Fighting sometimes to get into your seat, having to use disgusting toilets on many occasions. Windows not really designed for the best photos? Travel sometimes very cramped with no where to put ones cases. The main hotel sadly lacking basic requirements ie: no tea/coffee making facilities in the room .Breakfast layout, not desirable. It became a free for all and one had to forage for food from different tables. Only one small lift in a hotel of 5 floors. Rooms very dark and dingy. Many passengers bringing cases far to large for them and unable to carry them leaving the rest of the passengers to do it for them? A weight restriction should be placed on luggage and a fitness eligibility for some passengers who clearly were not fit enough to keep up with the rest of the tour. The free time not planned well meaning not enough time in places of interest for one to explore. Also guided tours not of great interest, whereas the main attractions one was left to sort oneself. The forwarding of luggage option very expensive and a tiresome system of operation. My case was opened and the outside of it ruined with heavy stick labels which have become permanent. The only upside the tour guide Ros Adley was absolutely brilliant and went over and above at all times . Overall disappointing!
A marvellous holiday visiting Florence and some of the great and beautiful cities of the Renaissance. Particularly in the beautiful scenery of Tuscany and experiencing its excellent produce and foods.
Very well organised, Ros our tour rep was fantastic, the places we visited were beautiful and interesting, great food and a lot of walking to burn it off. Would highly recommend ❤️

Beautiful countryside. Great people Excellent leader
Not having been on an organised tour and unsure what to expect, I thought it was an excellent trip. Travelling by train made it feel like quite an adventure without the stress of working out logistics oneself. There was a good balance between organised sightseeing and free time to explore. We were fortunate enough to have a lovely group of fellow travellers. Trevor, our tour manager was competent, patient, and had a great sense of humour. He very much set the tone and made this a great holiday experience.
