Day 3 - Friday

Totally overlooked in the world of tourism are the beautiful forests, valleys and towns of Luxembourg’s Northern Province. So, our rail/bus-coordinated tour will discover this beguiling and fascinating region. A half-day innovative rail tour of the south will complete an exciting day of trains and touring.

Meals: Breakfast
Day 4 - Saturday

On our “Super Scenic Saturday” we head into the Ardennes. Here we will find some truly “different” visits to occupy us fully, starting with a 100 year old tram ride to some caverns once occupied by prehistoric man. Rock formations, wildlife, and nostalgic transport at Grottes de Han before the Tramway Touristique de l’Aisne and its “panoramic delight”.

Meals: Breakfast
Day 5 - Sunday

We head west today to one of the very best tourist railway experiences there is. Train 1900, at a place called Fond-de-Gras, is the central highlight with narrow gauge steam, diesel and electric train rides. A subterranean surprise, exceptional scenery, and first class full size steam journeys complete our unforgettable experience.

Meals: Breakfast
Day 6 - Monday

A comfortable return journey aboard the morning train to Brussels. Incidentally. the rail journey between Luxembourg and Namur is one of the most highly scenic routes through the Ardennes region. At Brussels we connect with the Eurostar, arriving back in London mid-afternoon.
