Rome, Paris, and London

Escorted 8-day rail trip through Rome, Zurich, Paris, and London

Illustration of Rome, Paris, and London

Railbookers runs this 8-day, 7-night escorted rail tour from Rome to London, crossing four countries by train. The trip opens with two nights in Rome, where a guided tour gives a close look at the Colosseum's history and architecture, alongside free time using a hop-on, hop-off bus ticket. On day three, trains carry travelers from Rome through Milan to Zurich for a one-night stop on Lake Zurich, before continuing the next day to Paris for two nights, including priority summit access to the Eiffel Tower with an audio guide. The final leg is a train to London for two nights, where a guided small-group food tour leads travelers through several neighborhoods to sample classic British dishes at local markets and eateries. Because London sightseeing beyond the food tour is left to travelers' own pace, this suits people who like a mix of organized highlights and independent time in each city.

What to know before you look closer

  • Several days rely on a self-guided hop-on, hop-off bus ticket rather than a guide, including the arrival day in Rome and free time in Paris; London sightseeing beyond the food tour is also described as being at your own pace.
  • The evidence available does not list current departure dates for this tour; confirm availability directly with Railbookers.
