Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

A ten day trip to Portugal, travelling to the country by air and using the railway service in the country. We stayed in Lisbon and Oporto in good quality hotels, with organised excursions and plenty of free time

Ffestiniog Travel. Arrangements made from outline specification but were exactly what we wanted.

The choice of cities was brilliant. Vienna, Graz, Ljubljana, Trieste and Venice. Tiring in 30C heat but worth it. Trains between the cities mostly worked well but Ljubljana station is a total building site and hard to find your way out of. It will be like that for a few years.

I would have rated Ffestiniog excellent but we really could have done with advance information on how to reach the hotels they booked for us once we arrived at the stations. Google and mobile connection was not always working. Mostly we walked but sometimes it needed a tram or even a taxi (if the queue wasn't enormous). Having to work all this out ourselves was quite stressful. Also the hotel in Venice had no hot water which had been the case for some weeks. They said they had told all the tour operators but ours had not told us. The hotel offered no refund or gesture to compensate. Ffestiniog did all the booking of flights, trains and hotels very efficiently which was great. It would have taken a lot of time and effort to do that ourselves.

7 day holiday by train to Lake Lucerne. Arrangements worked well although lack of airconditioning in Lucerne was a problem due to hot weather. Day trips from Lucerne were generally excellent.

Escorted tour was well organised with an excellent tour guide.

Good trip, nice location.

Set the right level for a railway based holiday
