Great railway journey through France, Italy and Switzerland

We travelled by Eurostar to Paris, the next day to Turin by train, then on to Verona, Milan and back to Paris via Switzerland. This 8 day trip gave us the time to see the highlights of the cities in Italy. The train journeys were great and, compared with flying, make it easier to visit multiple destinations and to see the scenery between them.

By rail from London St Pancras to Nimes and Narbonne and back

Ffestiniog Travel organised an independent travel trip for us at short notice to Nimes and Narbonne by rail. And we had a wonderful times in these two interesting cities with a deep Roman past.

This is the second independent trip Ffestiniog has put together for us. The first one was by rail to Ravenna stopping at Lyons, Milan and Bologna. We were very happy with the arrangements so returned to them a second time. Rail is their speciality.

Eastern Canada in the Fall

A very good holiday I have suggested a few things that could have made it even better.

Highlights, lowlights, and a punishing schedule.

It was a train trip involving many trains around the East of Canada. Planes, trains and Automobiles. The schedule was punishing and it was hard to find time for rest, exploration and finding nutritious food. There were many highlights, but I wouldn’t recommend this particular itinerary.

New tour- needs some adjustments

Better if more time in cities as the climate did not deliver the expected fall scenery in afforested areas and northern destinations did not justify the time spent.

Ffestiniog Travel have been arranging these sort of tours for a long time. I have been on several trips before and the organisation is always excellent. They use good hotels and have a experienced tour leader on hand to lead the tour.
