The best site for train travel that I have come across ,so far.
http://www.neweuropetours.eu/
We took their free walking tour in Dublin this summer and had a great time.
PROS-Great system where you just show up with no pre-payment or commitment,and leave at any point for any reason-perfect for autistic globetrotting.
Young college students or graduates act as tour guides ,hence pro...viding travelers with a winning combination of enthusiasm ,knowledge and entertainment.
Our guide ,in his early twenties took an instant liking to Jeffrey and did not mind answering his continuous questions.Unfortunately we had to leave early because of a shortened cruise ship schedule ,so we only ended up attending half the tour.
CONS-might prove a bit long for the younger crowd (3 hours),but you can leave anytime.
