What should I pack for my train tour?

When you travel by train, we recommend packing a smaller bag along with your regular one. That way, if your luggage has to be stored outside of your seating area, you can still keep what you need as you’re seated.

What is the most beautiful train ride in the world?

All of our trips are beautiful—whether you’re cruising through the [Alps on Switzerland by Train: Lucerne to Zurich](/guided-tours/switzerland-by-train-lucerne-zurich), zooming through a Japanese seaside town via high-speed bullet train on [Japan Adventure: Kyoto, the Japanese Alps & Tokyo](/guided-tours/japan-adventure), or enjoying views of the [Rocky Mountains](/guided-tours/canadian-rockies-by-train-banff-lake-louise-vancouver) on your way to Banff, Lake Louise & Vancouver.

Is train travel better for the environment?

Yes! Vacations by rail are more eco-friendly than by plane or tour bus, and they emit far less carbon into the atmosphere. Learn more about our path to eliminate our carbon footprint and our [responsible travel commitments](/about/responsible-travel).

Why should I choose a Go Ahead Tours trip?

When you travel with us, you get to experience the world by train, with all the benefits of traditional group travel. Learn more about the [Go Ahead Tours difference](/about/the-go-ahead-difference).

What are some benefits of train travel?

See scenery you wouldn’t otherwise see
Scenic train trips are unlike anything else. They take you through places roads just can't reach. When you travel by train, you’ll see the world from a new angle, as you venture to each new destination.

It’s more comfortable
Travel by train is more spacious, temperature-controlled, and, well, comfortable. Just sit back, enjoy the scenery, and arrive right in the heart of each city.

It’s more eco-friendly
Did you know train travel is the most environmentally friendly way to travel, apart from by bike or by foot? Rail trips emit 75% less greenhouse gas than cars. And in some countries, less than 3% of all transport gas emissions come from trains.
