Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

Ffestiniog Travel's 'tailor-made' holiday to the Harz Mountains. All train and hotel bookings very satisfactory, the itineraries detailed and clear. We thoroughly enjoyed the train journeys and walking in the Harz Mountains.

Ffestiniog Travel tailor made itinerary.

Well organised. Tour guide excellent and very knowledgeable.

Good, friendly company. Easy to communicate with.

The tour was to look at the passenger railways and museums on the Colorado side of the Rockies. Jolly interesting, well organised, exactly as advertised. 'Normal' FT delivery. Why go with other operators?

Friendly, well organised, looked after everyone, offered options with no pressures. Felt safe in his hands.

A fortnight of train travel in Switzerland, escorted mainly but with options to go off-piste if desired. Best combination.

They pretty much know what they are doing when it comes to train travel.

Two weeks of travelling with Ffestiniog gave us all that we were expecting. Great scenery, good mix of steam, rack and standard railways with an excellent tour leader who adapted the itinery to suit the needs of fellow travellers and the weather.

This was our first time with Ffestiniog and we certainly plan to go with them again as all arrangements went smoothly with nothing for us to worry about

Our 13 night tour via the best of Europe's trains (Eurostar, TGV and Corsican "Tremblers"!) took us from the heart of London to the wonderful island of Corsica. We stayed in 3 cities on the island, and with only one pre-arranged full-day tour around the picturesque north cape ("Cap Corse") there was plenty of free time to explore and learn about the history and culture, as well as relax in the sun and enjoy local food

The tour was very well managed by FFestiniog Travel, they were easy to contact, the tour information was accurate and published in good time, and the hotel accommodation was generally well chosen.

Corsica by rail and ferry

First time we had travelled with them as an alternative to other rail holiday operators. They are a bit more expensive but as a result they offer a bit more. Would be likely to use them again if an opportunity to visit somewhere we hadn't been before within Europe arose.

Travelling around Northern Spain by train.

We have used Ffestiniog Travel on several occasions for both escorted and, as this one was, unescorted and have found everything to be good.

Using Interrail passes and 20 trains we travelled from York to Zakopane for independent walking and to Krakow for independent business. We took 4 days each way when we travelled very comfortably and had time to explore Kings Cross hinterland, Koeln, Prague, Brno, Goerlitz, Leipzig and Boppard. All to save aeroplane emissions and perfectly manageable in our 70's.

Independent operator we have used for European rail travel and accommodation arrangements a few times over 15 years. Always very efficient, knowledgeable and helpful.

We travelled by train from London for 6 nights in a town beside Lake Constance. We had interesting excursions by train on 4 days. Inevitably train travel can have various hiccups. Our tour leader, Geoff, was very good and dealt with the various issues effectively and with good humour.

This was the first time Ffestiniog Travel had run this trip. Good overall but perhaps some of the excursions could have been better researched and run differently.
