York or Harewood House onboard the British Pullman from London

A name synonymous with the ultimate in luxury and service for over 25 years, Orient-Express encompasses a myriad of luxury travel experiences to suit all tastes. Onboard the British Pullman, the service, like your journey, will be calm and unruffled. Settle back into your deeply comfortable seat and be transported into another age while Britain's glorious countryside unfolds past your window.

Check in to the 4 star Grosvenor Victoria, London before spending an evening at leisure. The following morning after a full English breakfast at the hotel, you will board the British Pullman from London’s Victoria station and enjoy a delicious brunch with Bellini as you journey outward.

On arrival at York, you will be met by your guide who will take you on a walking tour of the city, which includes a visit to York Minster with free time to explore the city after the tour. Alternatively upon arrival at York Station a coach will continue to Harewood House where you can discover the 17th century Yorkshire home of the Earl and Countess of Harewood, with its exquisite collection of artworks, china and furniture plus the landscaped gardens designed by 'Capability' Brown.

As you rejoin the British Pullman for your return journey after your York or Harewood House Day Trip, you will enjoy a glass of chilled champagne followed by a five course dinner with half a bottle of wine and a liqueur. Another evening at the hotel can then be spent followed by a full English breakfast the next morning before check out.
