Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

I travelled by train from Edinburgh to London, France, Italy and Switzerland

FFestiniog Travel made all the rail and hotel arrangements to my total satisfaction

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.

Across the Arctic by rail in Scandinavia

Ffestiniog's experience showed in the work done to ensure everything went swmoothly

The travel arrangements by train to Biarritz were were good and the Hotel Escale Oceania was excellent.

Excellent travel information and recommendations. Very efficient service.

Short break to Holland and Belgium

Ffestiniog are banker providers. You say what you want ands they come up with the goods. Can't fault them.

Our holiday was a tailored itinerary to match our wish to experience more of the Canadian Rockies, Vancouver and a Holland America Cruise to Glacier Bay, Alaska including stops at Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan.

We used Ffestiniog Travel Services because of their reputation for organisation of multi-destination trips worldwide. Their communication was prompt and professional at all times and they selected travel arrangements and hotels that were perfect for our needs. I'd like to specifically thank Kate Berry for her arrangements for what was, for us, the trip of a lifetime.

Excellent holiday planned by Ffestiniog Travel All arrangements well planned and easily followed

Able to tailor all aspects to our requirements

Ffestiniog travel put together a rail holiday for us to include the Bernina Express and staying an Italian lake resort for 7 days. They booked all the rail tickets and hotels enroute for us.

Ffestiniog Travel who specialise in rail travel

Ffestiniog Travel organised rail travel and accommodation Rome-Pisa-Lucca-Modena-Lugano-Koln-Brussels-London for me in April. (They also arranged flights to Norway for my wife myself shortly afterwards)

Choice of hotels was excellent and the rail journeys including connections went like clockwork. Ffestiniog Travel went to a lot of trouble in making the arrangments and provided me with exactly what I asked for. I would definitely use them again for future bespoke touring.

Train Grantham, Kings Cross, St Pancras International, Paris, Strasbourg, Basel, Chur, for The Bemina Express, Tirana, Inter-Milan, Florence. Return Florence, Turin, Paris, London St Pancras International / King Cross And Grantham with stop offs at Strasbourg, Cher, Torino, Florence 4 days, Turin and Paris. Awel worked to our broad plan at short notice and engineered a near perfect detailed plan/ Itinerary. Father 86 accompanied by daughter. Highlights - Cities, mostly crowded with fellow tourists using local tour guides, Bemina Express (unmissable mountains scenery) during several hours. Torino hotel Curt di Clement, Eco experiment not quite working and full of hazards for less agile (missable). Florence, great Golf Cart Tour to understand the layout and key places of interest on first day chose key points of interest. Mercado Central unmissable to see the great abundance of groceries, meat, wine and veg and enjoy the street food from stalls in surrounding market cafes.. Lessons learned, Smoking everywhere in Paris/ Strasbourg and less so in Italy but a shock, the entrance height of French and Italian trains, don’t be surprised to find your seats have changed on French trains and even in best class French trains scruffy and unkept. Take liquid and a picnic as the experienced do. Station staff very helpful as was everyone we came into contact with on our travels. Overhaul, brilliant experience and a real eye opener as the UK slips backwards in so many ways. Although almost all understand some English, we were short of Italian language skills to gain maximum benefit. Over there. Forgot needed Swiss currency and cash was king with may small cafes./ taxis retail outlets throughout.

Dealt with Awel and very good. Itinerary excellent when concluded particularly with commentary./ notes. Suggestion, use taxis from/to hotels as dragging bags over cobble stones not pleasant even so called short distances.
