Victorian Rail Adventure

Victorian heritage railways and regional towns in a small group escorted tour.

Railway Adventures operates this 11-day escorted tour of regional Victoria for small groups of over-50s travellers. The tour departs Melbourne and concludes at Grampians National Park, with a tour leader accompanying the group throughout. The itinerary includes four heritage railway experiences: Victorian Goldfields Railway, the private-charter DERM Railway, Puffing Billy, and the Q Train dining car. The group also takes a boat excursion on the Murray River and visits historic regional towns including Castlemaine, Daylesford, Maldon, and Maryborough. With rail travel at the centre and moderate walking, the tour suits repeat rail travellers and history enthusiasts who value guided comfort and regional exploration over pace.
