Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

A tour by train and coach of the idiosyncracies of travel in rural Ireland pre-1965 or so.

Shows great concern for travellers in difficult circumstances (strikes, Covid etc).

The holiday was well organised and ran smoothly. We had an extremely good Tour Leader who kept us well informed without being too intrusive. He also suggested a few alternatives to the planned itinerary, which some of the group opted for. The selection of hotels was very good, with one exception (the Jury's Inn at Cork), which added to the enjoyment of the holiday. Train travel was straightforward and worked as planned. Coach travel involved mainly two coaches, one of which gave a rather rough ride, the other was better. We felt we were given a very good introduction to the Republic of Ireland, seeing Dublin, Limerick and Cork as well as some more remote parts of the Atlantic Coast. A most enjoyable trip, despite the rain which, being Ireland, we were expecting.

Ffestiniog Travel are a small tour operator providing holidays mainly by rail. We have used them several times, both for escorted tours like this one and for tailor made holidays. We have always found them helpful and flexible, especially with the tailor made tours. This was the best escorted tour we have been on with Ffestiniog Travel, due in part to the excellent tour leader who looked aftr the group exceedingly well.

It was a fly drive holiday to some of Colorado,s heritage railways.

Michelle at Ffestiniog Travel, truly marvelous, every thing was booked, organised for us to enjoy our holiday in Colorado.

Travelled to Corsica by Eurostar, TGV and ferry, via Lyon and Nice. Three hotels in Corsica, at Bastia, Calvi and Ajaccio.

Specialist company providing rail-based holidays around the world.

Our holiday took us to Brussels & on to Cologne for overnight stay, on to Lucerne for 3 nights, then to Grindelwald for 3 nights and then return via an overnight in Paris. All train, hotel and excursion arrangements went as planned

Helpful, knowledgeable and very efficient

Rail travel from London to Berlin with a stopover in Cologne. 5 days in Berlin (we arranged accommodation) then onward travel to Tübingen with a stopover in Eisenach. 5 days in Tübingen staying with a friend, then return to London with a stopover in Paris.

Friendly, encouraging, efficient.

The magic of Norway was displayed in all it’s glory. The arranged hotels, train travel, ferries etc were all first class.

We were looked after very well throughout.

Have used FT for years. Personal service with arrangements that work

An Albanian Odyssey

Ffestiniog Travel

Good mix of culture, history, geography, politics, fine mountain scenery, historic towns and villages, and seaside (with time for just one swim in the sea, as much as expected). Also good hotels and meals (although some meals were too big!). Also lucky with excellent clear sunny weather for good views of the mountains including snow-capped peaks in May.

Ffestiniog Travel are Rail travel specialists, but good organiser of coach travel to go beyond the railway, and we had a good knowledgeable Albanian guide.
