All Aboard the New Train Tours by EF Go Ahead Tours!

In a thrilling announcement, EF Go Ahead Tours has expanded its offerings with seven new guided train tours. This innovative collection caters to a surge of interest in train tourism, as nearly 75% of travelers in a recent survey expressed their desire to include train journeys as an integral part of their vacation experiences.

The Rise of Train Tourism

Recent research conducted by EF Go Ahead Tours in collaboration with Qualtrics Research has unveiled compelling insights into traveler preferences. With a score of 73.06 (out of 100) indicating strong enthusiasm for train travel, many are drawn to the experience rather than just the destination. As Lael Kassis, EF Go Ahead's VP of Market Innovation, asserts, “Today’s travelers are seeking journeys that enable them to savor the views, embrace the environment, and enjoy every moment.” This shift reflects a growing nostalgia associated with train travel, offering an antidote to the fast-paced air travel experience.
