Free time to explore Fast transport

Arrive at each location in the fastest, smoothest way possible – with fewer long coach rides and more intercity trains.

How you’ll travel:

Large coaches are out, using a mix of more efficient transport is in. Depending on your chosen trip, you’ll travel between destinations on a combination of trains, local buses, minicoaches and ferries to give you maximum time exploring and more time in the moment. And as many of our Europe trips start in London, taking the Eurostar to Paris instead of a bus means half a day longer in the City of Love. Result!

Trains Minicoaches Metros Local buses

Coach vs train:

Intercity trains are the quickest way to travel –saving you precious time on your trip.

ROUTE

There’ll usually be a short walk between each station and your accommodation – so make sure you’re able to carry your own luggage (we recommend a backpack).
