Wake up each day in a different city and explore at your leisure – AITO tour operators offer spectacular holidays by rail on the fascinating Trans-Siberian railway and Glacier Express to name but a few.

Sit back and watch changing landscapes pass, stopping off now and again to discover new cities, explore historic and ancient sites and immerse yourself in local communities and colour.

AITO operators offer hundreds of river cruises, island hops and cross-continental journeys – the choice is yours.

• Cross an entire continent from Russia to the Far East on the most legendary train ride of them all - the Trans-Siberian railway or, for something different,  travel aboard the Trans-Mongolian or Trans-Manchurian railways.
• Jump aboard one of Australia’s magnificent trains for a breathtaking tour of this vast country – pass rainforests; the Barrier reef; gaze out at mile upon mile of outback on The Ghan, passing sacred aboriginal sites and enormous canyons on the way. 
• Take a trip on the Bullet train of Japan, through tranquil Japanese greenery to the hustle & bustle Tokyo, to the war memorials of Hiroshima, to the mountains & tea plantations sampling the politeness & hospitality of the Japanese along the way.
