A train holiday is shaped by the places you want to visit, not by a fixed departure date. You choose the cities and the pace of your journey. Your travel expert plans the itinerary and selects the best trains and hotels. We organize train journeys through Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Ireland, and other destinations. You travel from city to city in first-class carriages, arriving in the heart of each location. A single expert handles all the travel arrangements.

First class for main routes, ensuring more space and quieter carriages. Your expert can adjust the mix of high-speed lines and scenic routes based on your itinerary and budget.
The price varies depending on the countries, season, hotels, and trip duration. A one-week train trip typically starts at around $1,600 per person, excluding flights. Costs increase if you choose luxury hotels or longer itineraries covering multiple countries.
Yes. Austria and Switzerland pair perfectly, and German cities are well-connected to the Alps. Your expert will plan connections to minimize travel time.
Seven to ten days is ideal for visiting a single country. For two or more countries, we recommend allowing 10 to 14 days so you can devote real time to each city rather than just stopping for a single night.
We organize first-class travel on European scenic and high-speed lines, featuring carefully selected hotels. These are tailor-made train holidays, not fixed-departure packages aboard a specific luxury train.

Trip to Italy
I saw an ad for Tourlane on Facebook one day as we were getting ready to start planning our once in a lifetime trip to Italy so I sent them a message and the rest is history.

Trip to Portugal
Our trip to Portugal came to LIFE with the help of tourlane. They recommended so many fun things we never would have thought of and we really appreciated Janine selecting high quality vendors we knew we could trust. Having everything in the app made the trip seamless and stress free!

Trip to Ireland
Our family trip for 4 to Ireland was completely lovely. Janine listened to our needs and wants and made amazing suggestions to hit some beautiful sites and places in the timeframe we had. We didn't want to do a full guided tour that had a generic itinerary planned out for us because we wanted to have some time to explore and do things on our own timeframe and with just the four of us.

Trip to Scotland
If you are looking for a travel agent who truly listens, look no further than **Taylor Bathurst-Pniwczak**. She reached out while I was struggling with internet searches for our 2026 Scotland trip and completely understood what my wife and I were looking for.

Trip to Greece
Austin designed the best trip ever to Greece. Exactly, as I had planned. Thank you for everything. Also, the representative Leonala from Greece was always on top and easy to reach when I had questions.

Trip to France
So we booked dates for France which happened to coincide with a terrible heat wave. Our hotel had a temp loss of AC, a castle was closed early and Musee Orsay closed and didn’t open one day. That being said it was still an AMAZING time for my girls and I.
