Jacobite Steam Train - Standard Class

Jacobite Steam Train - Standard Class

The world famous "Jacobite Express" is quite possibly the most beautiful and scenic train ride anywhere!

This 84-mile round trip, dubbed the most beautiful rail ride in the world, takes you past a series of awe-inspiring extremes. The journey begins near Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, and travels to Britain's westernmost train station, Arisaig, past Britain's deepest freshwater lake, Loch Morar, and Britain's shortest river, River Morar, until finally arriving at Europe's deepest seawater lake, Loch Nevis!

We cross the 21-arched Glenfinnan Viaduct (a site made famous by the Harry Potter films), the Loch Shiel and the Jacobite Memorial. If time permits, the train will stop on the viaduct to give you the opportunity to enjoy the magnificent views. If time permits we will stop at Glenfinnan station. After the stop in Glenfinnan, you'll have time to stretch your legs and, if you wish, visit the West Highland Railway Museum in the restored station building. The Jacobite can also stop at Arisaig if you request this from the conductor.

Behind Glenfinnan lie the beautiful villages of Lochailort, Arisaig, Morar and Mallaig. You can get off at Arisaig if you ask the security guard to do so. From here on a clear summer day you can see the "Small Islands" of Rum, Eigg, Muck, Canna and the southern tip of Skye.

Really very good from start to finish. I was a little skeptical at first, but I immediately felt that I was in very good hands. The consultants take a lot of time, respond to individual wishes and implement the desired goal excellently. All documents are available and can be viewed at any time, so there is always transparency from the outset. If there are any challenges, there is always someone available and working on a solution. I couldn't have planned it any better or cheaper myself. In the event of small mishaps that can happen on the trip, the local circumstances are responsible and not the travel planners, who themselves then provide support.

The professionalism, friendliness and helpfulness of our consultant as well as the appealing form of presentation never fails to impress, especially because it is so easy to share all the planning steps with the whole family. Since I've known Tourlane, I honestly wouldn't set foot in a local travel agency again. It's not only a huge time saver, it's simply timely. Thank you!
