Ffestiniog Travel by Alextheguitarman, 20 Oct 2024

To Italy and back, visiting the PoW camp my father was in, during World War II.

I enjoyed my visits to Paris, Basel, Lucerne, Milan, Pisa, Rome (briefly), Sulmona (PoW camp), Pescara and Ancona, all en route. My favourite places were Basel, Lucerne, Pisa, and Sulmona (the camp). Travelling by train was so much better than flying or driving, and less stressful. The main target, my visit to the PoW camp, was brilliantly guided by a professional historian.

I enjoyed my visits to Paris, Basel, Lucerne, Milan, Pisa, Rome (briefly), Sulmona (PoW camp), Pescara and Ancona, all en route. My favourite places were Basel, Lucerne, Pisa, and Sulmona (the camp). Travelling by train was so much better than flying or driving, and less stressful. The main target, my visit to the PoW camp, was brilliantly guided by a professional historian. I and six other visitors spent almost three hours on site. The town of Sulmona is a typical regional Italian town, very welcoming.

Ffestiniog Travel produced a great itinerary, with every train and every hotel detailed, in order, in a handy A5 size wallet. That gave me great confidence before I set off. I had never done a solo trip like this before, but I am thinking already about doing another! I would certainly use Ffestiniog Travel’s services again.

All the little Trains

We travelled on all the trains, and it proved a good way to see the island. The arrangements were comprehensive and our guide ensured we did all that was expected.

ROME & VENICE

Flight to Rome -- 4 nights in Rome --- rail to Venice -- three nights in Venice -- fly to Gatwick. Everything went smoothly. The Hotel Columbia in Rome was very well sited and a very good standard. Train to Venice excellent and on time. Hotel in Venice very well-located and again a great standard. Good flights both ways

Ffestiniog Travel. I chose them because of the rail element of the holiday and also because I knew of them through the Ffestiniog Railway. Beyond that I knew nothing about them but they proved to be excellent.
