Winter Wonderland
We love switzerland and travel there regularly but this holiday introduced us to places that we had not previously visited. Also we normally visit in the summer, this was our first winter visit.

Rating for tour operator:Very impressed with the admin. Minimal deposit and they refused to take the balance until confirmation that the tour was definitely going ahead. Lots of useful info provided pre departure, particularly with ref to Covid restrictions and requirements.
Wonderful return to foreign travel after a pandemic-related hiatus for 2 years
2-centre winter holiday by train to Switzerland, booked VERY last-minute without fuss.

Rating for tour operator:Very quick and easy response
Fascinating and informative holiday
The trip was to Vietnam & Cambodia. Two countries which I thought I knew something about but I now know how little in fact I did know about them. I discovered so much on this trip about the people and their histories. Time to read up some more about them.

Rating for tour operator:Ffestiniog Travel are a very well organised company with excellent and friendly staff. They managed without (it seemed to us stuck in an airport due to Conv19) to much fuss and with very good information during this time to find alternative flights back to the UK.
Two go wild in Vietnam & Cambodia
We went on an escorted trip to Vietnam and travelled by train from Hanoi to Saigon and them onto Cambodia and Angkor Wat. What a great time we had dispirit the Covid situation towards the end of the holiday.

TAIWAN RAILWAY ADVENTURE
Fair degree of travel by train with coach for transfers and local trips. We circled the island using and excellent choice of very well appointed hotels. We had a Tour Manager, and a fine local guide. There was a good mix of general sightseeing and specialist railway visits.

A great experience for my first visit to a country
A combination of rail and coach travel covering a range of experiences around the country. Hotels were of a very high standard.

Taiwan Rail Adventure
Two weeks exploring not only Taiwans Railways, but visiting Temples, museums, palaces, mountains and Gorges which gave me a very enjoyable holiday.

Rating for tour operator:Ffestiniog Travel run tours for rail enthusiasts who also want to see the countryside and experience the culture of the countries they visit. Having used them to book tours with my family, this is the first time I have done one of their group tours. Many of the fellow travellers were returning Ffestiniog group travellers Ultimately the profits they make from booking with them go towards running the Ffestiniog Railway in north Wales.
