“We had rain, sun and cold weather but our guide Ferret made the day perfect for us. We had a great time exploring the abbey and the bay. The train and bus ride to the Abbey was very comfortable.”

Travel tips for train tours in Europe
Research Europe train tour packages ahead of time to snag early bird discounts and enjoy the luxury of choice without breaking the bank—especially if you’re traveling in a group.
Train stations can be overwhelming, especially for visitors. Arrive an hour to 30 minutes before departure to make sure you get to the right terminal or platform. Check your ticket information and times with what's posted on station information boards. Try to research your arrival and departure stations beforehand so you have an idea of where to go.
Do not expect consistent internet access. Even if you have a European SIM card and are in the Schengen Zone, your internet connection on a European train may be unreliable.
Keep your ID handy when ordering European train tickets! Students under 26 and adults over 59 may get discounts.
Bring your own hand sanitizer and toilet paper. There are many restrooms, but the quality may vary—and it’s best to be prepared.
