What Can I Expect
Departing from London Victoria train station, you'll have all day to enjoy the service and comfort of the Belmond British Pullman. All day trips are offered on a full-service basis and, usually arriving around midday, you will have time to explore your destination.
The day starts off as it means to go on for these trips - with a Bellini cocktail being handed to you as you board the train. Having been shown to your reserved seat by your steward, all you will be required to do from here on in is relax and enjoy yourself.
By the time you've finished your three-course brunch and freshly brewed mid-morning coffee, there's just enough time to do some gazing out of the picture window of your Pullman carriage before you arrive at your destination.
Disembarking around midday, you will have plenty of time to discover the historic location you'll be visiting. In most cases you'll be taken directly there by coach. On arrival there may be a walking tour, a commented coach tour, or free time for you to explore. From country houses and Royal palaces, to Roman cities and market towns, we've got the very best of historic England for you.
After your visit, it's time to head back to the British Belmond Pullman for your return journey. The elevated levels of customer service and care for passengers continues, with a four-course dinner served at your table. Your supper onboard includes wine carefully selected by the sommelier, as well as delicate petits fours served with tea and coffee.
These historic Belmond British Pullman day trips are the perfect voyage for anyone who loves a little bit of luxury when they travel. And your day out isn't just about the journey, your destination will be a fascinating insight into some of the country's finest places to visit.
