Paris and Venice on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

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

Railbookers runs this 7-day, 6-night independent rail package connecting Paris and Venice, with the two cities joined by a journey on board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. In Paris, the trip includes a locally led gastronomic tour tasting some of the city's finest cuisine, before travelers step onto the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, described as the world's most famous train, and settle into a private cabin for the night on board. There is no tour guide for the city portions beyond the Paris food tour; Railbookers books the train travel and city stays, and travelers spend their days in Venice independently. Priced from $6,999 per person, this trip suits travelers drawn to a landmark luxury train experience and to food-focused sightseeing in Paris, who are comfortable planning their own days without a full group tour.
