Northern Lights by Walker, 2 Mar 2024
Holiday Rating:

Wide variety of experiences

Oslo to beyond the Arctic circle, The Northern Lights was always going to be enticing. The lights may not have been fully switched on but the other experiences were excellent: Munch Museum, Oslo; Trondheim Cathedral; crossing the Arctic Circle; ferry to Lofoten Islands; Viking Museum; Thomson Troll museum and Arctic Cathedral;; Polar Park en route to Narvik; Jukkasjarvi Ice Hotel was the icing on the cake!

Ffestiniog Travel know their tour areas well, and provide an experienced tour leader with good knowledge of the area. They also allow you the freedom to leave the group on any day if you wish to pursue your own special interest or place you want to see.

Memorable

We undertook a tailor-made holiday by rail to Austria to visit relatives and stayed at Cologne, Linz and Vienna along the way. The Christmas markets were wonderful and the snow added to the experience !!!

Ffestiniog Travel helped to plan our holiday and kept an eye on our progress as we journeyed to Austria. We were very grateful to Tracy for alerting us about the cancellation of one of our trains and re-booking us on other trains later that day.

This was our first holiday with Ffestiniog travel and we were very impressed indeed. The pre-holiday administration was efficient, friendly and helpful; and Alan, our tour leader, was knowledgeable, approachable and supportive. There was a really positive atmosphere throughout the whole holiday, and this was also helped by the two trainee leaders, Josh and Stephen, who were also knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely travel with Ffestiniog again!

The very best of Autralia

The holiday was very well organised and went without any problems which is excellent for such a long trip with so many hotels, trains etc to arrange.

The Very Best of Australia

An exceptionally enjoyable tour with a friendly leader also good to have local guides in Singapore and Bangkok. There is usually one who tries to upset the apple cart and this was no exception but we all just got on with it and had a great time. Due to the fact that we had a group airline ticket we found that the airlines could or would not accommodate us when we ask to upgrade?
