The Rail Collection is an innovative travel option launched by G Adventures, featuring an extensive range of 60 rail journeys and lesser-known routes across 20 countries. This new initiative is designed to provide travellers with an immersive experience, fostering cultural connections, and enabling them to travel flexibly and responsibly. The Rail Collection offers a unique blend of adventure, cultural exploration, and relaxation, making it an attractive option for a wide range of travellers.
- Small group trips
- Flexibility
- Responsible travel
- Cultural immersion
These core values are reflected in every aspect of the Rail Collection, from the planning and execution of the trips to the training of the chief experience officers (CEOs). The CEOs are responsible for guiding the group and ensuring that every element of the journey is pre-planned and executed with precision. This approach allows travellers to enjoy a hassle-free experience, focusing on the journey rather than the planning.
