Europe's ULTIMATE Luxury Train Adventure (Venice to London)

Editorial Summary

The creators attempt a DIY version of the Orient Express by traveling from Venice to London via multiple trains and buses over four days. Seeking a more affordable alternative to the luxury Orient Express, they book first class accommodations whenever possible to maintain a high level of comfort. The journey is characterized by frequent logistical challenges, including canceled trains due to construction, significant delays, and the necessity of using replacement buses due to track work and flooding in the Alps. Despite these setbacks, the travelers experience scenic routes such as the Glacier Express and the Albula line, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. They also visit destinations like St. Moritz and Zermatt to view the Matterhorn. The trip concludes with a high speed TGV ride from Paris to London via the Eurostar. Ultimately, the creators conclude that their multi day journey cost approximately $2,500 each, which they found to be a better value than a single night on the Orient Express because it allowed for more exploration of the European landscape.
