The holiday in Austria was our first experience with great rail journeys. They are not cheap, but you get your money's worth.
Travel to and from the main destination was by first class rail and you travelled on some of Europe's most up to date trains in considerable comfort.
You get the services of a tour guide who looks after the group during the holiday and makes sure the trips etc. all happen. Also during the journey porters were arranged to carry luggage between trains or between train and hotel where this was feasible.
The hotels were excellent - in particular the Hotel Jenbacherhof is worth a mention. This is a family run hotel and they make their guests very welcome. The quality of the accomodation was high and the food was excellent.
The trips from the main destination were all included in the price so there are no hidden extras. Obviously there are lunches etc. to be bought but that's to be expected and with main meals provided in the evening, then light lunches were the order of the day.
Prices in Austria were on the whole not unreasonable. Obviously with the pound having fallen against the Euro recently they were higher than they might have been, but not excessively so.
I found Great Rail Journeys to be excellent and would go with them again.
