Ffestiniog Travel who were very efficient, helpful & friendly. All arrangements they made with trains and hotels ran smoothly. Very well done to them.

2 weeks of Swiss Rail Travel, with lots of golden moments - Bernina Express; Glacier Express; the Furka Bergstrecke Steam Railway., Realp. Steam train around Berne; Paddle steamer on Lake Geneva; Zermatt & the Gornegrat Railway to view the Matterhorn, so many great trips.

FFestiniog had all of the details organised, all travel arrangements were excellent & timely. The tour guide was absolutely terrific & along with the people made the tour so successful.

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.
