Abundant Birdlife with Trains

My husband loves trains & I love birds so this combination was perfect for us. The Danube Delta did not disappoint, floating under willows, between reed beds & water lilies was such a peaceful experience. We saw over 50 different bird species including hundreds of swans, pelicans, more kingfishers than I've ever seen - a truly magical place. I loved Lepsa too with it's special hotel, Casa Tisaru.

The train ride from Brasov to Bucharest through the mountains was an enjoyable train trip, with wonderful scenery.

We've used Ffestiniog Travel before & have already booked to go with them again in February. They have become one of our 'go to' travel companies. One thing that sets them apart from other travel companies is to allow us to have independent meals (where possible), rather than having to dine as a group every day.

A great experience

Romania was an interesting country to visit. Varied scenery. Danube Delta a very special and protected area for wildlife, especially birds. Romania is unspoilt by mass tourism and offers a glimpse of a more pastoral way of life that is difficult to find in Europe.

Interesting but exhausting with many early starts

Rail travel from Bergen to Oslo and then to Narvik, then down on the Inlandsbanan and then onto Stockholm. Marvellous rail travel but, as there are so few trains, it necessitated early starts. Superb scenery but little wildlife.

An unescorted busy tour around Ireland, Northern Ireland & the Isle of Man

4 locations & lots of days out using an Irish interrail pass & the excellent Manx Go Explore card.

Ffestiniog travel booked our ferries, flights, hotels & interrail pass / Go Explore card. Saving a lot of hassle for us. It was good to know they were there if there had been any major issues.
