Your Journey:

After the tour there will be some time to explore on your own. You are asked to return to the train for the return journey to London.

A glass of chilled champagne is served as soon as you board the train. This is followed by a five course dinner, accompanied by half a bottle of wine and a liqueur to round off your meal.
