Just got back. Yes, rode the train. Very short ride about 6 minutes. Choice to walk back, about a mile or ride the train. Train starts at boat dock and drops you off about 300 yards from hotel. Tauck had their own train car.
Thank for your reply. Train sounds like the way to go.
Although very short, it is still fun. It doesn't go all the way to the hotel, but the short walk the rest of the way was very pleasant.
Here are train photos from our September 2024 trip:
We are going in August
I’m going on August 10th. What date are you going, Sharon? Highlights from Kazootriper? Anyone else on the 10th.
My wife and I really enjoyed this trip. We felt like we got a real good understanding of the countries. Couple of the bus days were long but not terrible. If you get car/bus sick, be cautious on the trip out of Edinburgh to Lakes District. Very curvy and hilly. Other days were fine. Tauck does a great job of breaking up the longer rides with rest stops or attractions. We had a lovely lunch with a family at their estate Husband and wife were wonderful hosts and so friendly. Saw lots of castles and estates. One of my favorite nights was in Oxford when we ate dinner with a couple students. So, so intelligent and fun to talk to. And dinner was not “dorm food”. Three course gourmet with excellent wines! Everything was very well paced with free time to explore. In London, a wide range of top shows to choose from. All and all we learned al lot and saw some cool places. Stonehenge was truly impressive. Took a side trip on our own to see Crown Jewels in Tower of London. Enjoy!
