Trailblazing into inventive touring is certainly nothing new for Jules Verne. Founded in 1978 on the basis of one simple idea – to operate a train from London to Peking (Beijing) and then to Hong Kong – at a time when the 'bamboo curtain' was still officially in place.
For over 40 years, Jules Verne has been the leader in cultural escorted tours. Even our name was chosen to evoke a different era of travel, one that created events with ‘a sense of occasion’. Further innovative railway tours were to follow and in February 2019, we celebrated our 40th anniversary by repeating this original journey. Travelling by rail from London through Europe and the heart of Russia, across the expanse of Siberia into Mongolia before arriving into Beijing and travelling to Hong Kong, with a group of 48 intrepid Jules Verne travellers.
