TOURS
Travel with us throughout Victoria
Timeless Travel
There is nothing like stepping aboard one of our heritage trains as you set out with us to explore Victoria. Our carriages are a travelling memoir of a more elegant era - the golden age of travel, with many now over 100 years old and some having been part of iconic names such as the 'Spirit of Progress'.
Restored to their former glory, our carriages are as famous today as in the heyday of train travel. Whether you prefer spectacular sights or relaxed days exploring new destinations - as many guests do - there's a journey for everyone. Whichever you choose, we guarantee that you'll be whisked back to a more elegant era. Welcome aboard.
