Bucket-List Worthy Adventures
Discover the World Through Rail
My love for rail travel started in childhood, exploring the UK with my railwayman father. By my 20s, I was crossing continents by train, from the Trans-Siberian to coast-to-coast journeys in the US and Canada. Founding Undiscovered Destinations and Adventures by Train allowed me to share this lifelong passion. These journeys are more than travel – they’re about connection: to landscapes, cultures, and people. Join me in embracing the magic of rail travel.

Exploring the centre of Colombia
This was an imaginative itinerary that began and ended in Bogota and which visited some of the highlights in the centre of the country. The stand-out was San Agustin , with its incredibke archaeology. There were also some beautiful old towns, notably Villa de Leyva, Popayan and Honda. We also learned about coffee and cacao production. What struck me about central Colombia was just how beautiful it was.

Another great experience.
This was our first tailor-made trip with Undiscovered Destinations. It was to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary and we wanted to do a couple of different things and change some hotels from the existing itinerary offered. All of our requests were accommodated and we had a fantastic time - the guides, accommodation and transportation were all up to the standard we'd expect.

Fantastic wildlife experience.
Many very good game drives with excellent guides who were very experienced so that I saw a lot of wildlife. Also, I had a private guide and driver on the tour who spoke perfect English and was interested to make me understand as much of his culture as possible m
