Paris and Rome on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

Paris to Rome rail holiday aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

Railbookers runs this 7-day, 6-night independent rail package connecting Paris and Rome, with the two cities joined by a journey on board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. The trip opens with two nights in Paris, where travelers sample some of the city's finest food and wine, before stepping onto the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, described as the world's most famous train, for the journey south. It closes with three nights in Rome, taking in what the description calls all the Eternal City has to offer. There is no tour guide; Railbookers books the train travel and city stays, and travelers spend their days in Paris and Rome independently. Priced from $7,549 per person, this trip suits travelers drawn to a landmark luxury train experience as much as to the two cities themselves, and who are comfortable planning their own days without a group tour.
