In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR, Part 255), we want to be completely transparent about how this website earns money.
The short version
Some links on Scenic Railway Tours are affiliate links. If you click one and then make a booking or purchase, we may receive a commission from the operator or booking platform. This never costs you anything extra — the price you pay is the same either way.
How it affects our content (it doesn’t)
- Our guides are researched and written before any affiliate links are added.
- We recommend routes and operators based on their merits, not their commission rates.
- Where a journey has real downsides — a disappointing season, an overpriced cabin class — we say so.
How affiliate links are marked
Every article containing affiliate links carries a disclosure notice at the top of the page, and our “Check Prices” buttons state clearly that they lead to a partner’s booking site.
