Trains and scenery beautiful Marion and Sharyn, NSW, Australia, Aug 2024

Would not recommend this to anyone who has difficulty walking. Some hotels are quite a distance from the train stations and some days we were travelling on quite a few different trains so you have to change platforms or change to buses. So accomodation was very small. Lots of free time also. Recommend the optional excursion to medieval castle.

Spectacular journey through Switzerland Gary & Cheryl , QLD, Australia, Jun 2024

Everything is taken care of and their host guide was both informative and knowledgeable. You'll travel 1st class on all the train journeys and the overnight accommodation hotels are all within 15 minutes walk from the train stations. ...read more

Fabulous hotels, but as a Solo traveller (hence pays a big single supplement), always seemed to get a very small back room. I kept feeling that APT were cutting ...read more
