Here are the 5 best train experiences, with what each one costs, how long it runs and who it suits. Number one is at the top for a reason, but read past it: the second or third often fits a tighter day better.
A 9.5-hour South Downs day trip from London to the White Cliffs, including Devil’s Dyke, Beachy Head, Seven Sisters, and train tickets.
“Was very nice. Clear explanation. Nice guide and people”
Guided Highlands and Isle of Skye trip from Edinburgh, with Portree stays and the Jacobite Hogwarts Express steam train.
“One of the best tours I've ever been one. You get to experience a lot of Scotland in a short amount of time. Dusty was definitely the best tour guide we've ever had.”
Inverness to Loch Ness and the Jacobite Steam Train to Mallaig, with Urquhart Castle stops and guided Highland storytelling on one long day.
“I loved the friendly, knowledgeable driver. The train ride was so fun and there’s so much beautiful scenery. Our tour included many stops and opportunities to take memorable photos.”
Jacobite steam train, Glenfinnan Viaduct photos, and Harry Potter filming spots on a 13-14 hour Highlands day trip from Edinburgh.
“I can’t believe how complete and nice this trip was. The guide is an amazing guy with a good sense of humor, respectful and very helpful!! As a Harry Potter fan I’m truly grateful and happy with this tour, also I’ve been to more than 4 tours in Scotland and so far this one was the most detailed and well explained one, the coach was very clean and comfortable with some snacks and water for the costumers. I’d say it’s a 1000/10 tour!!! ✨⚡️🚂”
Small-group day trip from London to the chalk cliffs of Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters, with trains, transfers, and guide-led stops.
“We had wonderful luck with weather. We got to experience the beautiful cliffs without the usual peak season crowds. Our guide Kevin was super nice and knowledgeable about the area and kept us informed. We appreciated the comfortable van and all the viewpoints.”
