Single centre escorted holidays

With a varied range of choices including short breaks in the British countryside, fascinating battlefield tours and luxurious all-inclusive Italian escapes, we have a single centre tour to suit every traveller.

As with all our holidays, our single centre tours allow you to get to the heart of your destination. You will enjoy the same fantastic cultural experiences, exciting excursions and captivating rail travel that we are known for, with the added benefit of knowing that you will wind down in the same hotel each evening. The effect is a slightly slower paced holiday, with the chance to truly settle in and explore the area in more depth. If you're looking for a fantastic escorted holiday by rail that is packed with terrific cultural experiences and would prefer to move around just a little less, a single centre tour is an ideal option.
