Tailor Made Rail is a London-based specialist travel company founded in 2013 by a rail enthusiast, offering fully bespoke train holidays across Europe and beyond. Registered in England and Wales (Company No. 08816522) and headquartered at Grays Inn Road, London, the company designs personalised itineraries with no fixed departure dates, meaning travellers can choose when and where they go. The experienced team handles all rail tickets and hotel bookings on the customer's behalf, drawing on destinations ranging from Norway and Switzerland to South Africa and South America. Financial protection is provided through membership of the Travel Trust Association (TTA No. Q2542), which holds customer funds in a supervised trust account until travellers return home.
Unlike package operators with set routes and fixed dates, Tailor Made Rail treats every itinerary on its website as a starting point rather than a fixed product. Travellers can adjust destinations, travel dates, hotel grades, and stopovers to suit their preferences. The team builds itineraries combining public European rail services with iconic scenic routes and, where required, luxury privately-operated trains. Rail tickets are delivered as PDFs approximately two weeks before departure, with physical copies posted when needed.
Tailor Made Rail covers a wide spread of destinations. European countries served include Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland, among others. Beyond Europe the company arranges journeys in Canada, Morocco, Singapore, South Africa, South America, Tunisia, the USA, and Uzbekistan. Luxury train experiences available through the company include the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the Glacier Express across Switzerland, the Bernina Express through the Alps, and South Africa's Rovos Rail between Cape Town and Pretoria.
Tailor Made Rail is a member of the Travel Trust Association rather than ABTA, providing an equivalent level of financial protection. Money paid by customers is held in a TTA trust account supervised by an independent trustee, and both Tailor Made Rail and the trustee must authorise any payments from the account. The company holds a strong customer reputation, with 85% of Trustpilot reviews rated five stars and 12% rated four stars. A repeat customer loyalty programme is available for those who book three or more holidays.
