Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

Poor detail on some times given made us miss a train and nearly a major bus trip no tickets given.

Trip well conceived planned and executed, including suggested add ons.

Have used Fffestiniog over 30 years for rail centred holidays in Europe and long haul

Two weeks exploring Switzerland over Christmas and New Year. Lots of excellent train travel, including the two big items of the Bernina and Glacier expresses. Highlights included the 'Burning of the Cathedral' event at midnight on New Year's Eve in Lausanne. Knowledgable and resourceful tour leader; good company in a group of just 14 of us.

Ffestiniog Travel offer the flexibility to go off on your own if you want to (you get a First Class Swiss Pass of your own) as well as guided tour days. Their team in knowledgable and you donlt have to be a train buff to benefit from their planning and knowledge.

Well organised suitable accommodation, close to transport links - The evening meals wer excellent with a good choice. The arranged excursions were well organised and showed us various parts of the country. Optional ones were supplied by the leader on other days, although you could do your own thing using the pass supplied.

The arrangements were good and the tour leader excellent

Christmas and New Year In Switzerland. A three centred holiday travelling out and return by train with lots to do everyday. Perfect for those who love railways as I do, and a great way of seeing the country and experiencing the cities.

FFestiniog Travel Always reliable, friendly and efficient.

Ffestiniog Travel: Christmas Market - Wernigerode. 7 nights. Eurostar from London. Stopover 1 night in Cologne on the way out to Wernigerode and on return. We had a 3 day pass to ride on the Harz mountain railway. and a German rail pass which lasted the whole holiday (used to get us from Brussles to Wernigerode. The tour was escorted but nothing was compulsory. The tour guide was excellent and provided suggested itineraries to travel on as much of the Harz railway as possible. This was a holiday that would suit "normal" people as well as railway enthusiasts! Old picturesque towns to visit and festive Christmas markets in the snow.

Plenty of information provided before we went. Very reassuring to know that in current times any problems due to Covid/Rail Strikes and general global mayhem would be dealt with by experts!

Five weeks getting (mostly) trains around Ireland. All our train tickets and accommodation was pre arranged and worked perfectly.

Ffestiniog Travel. My wife and I were satisfied with the whole experience with Ffestiniog Travel. Everything worked like clockwork with no stress or mixups. Our organiser, Awel Muscroft was wonderful to deal with - prompt, reliable, friendly and flexible. What more could we ask for!

We felt that this holiday trip had not been tried and tested before and we were pioneering. The tour guide was also on his first visit and experience of the tour and we felt sorry for him and his situation. Some of the hotels weren’t appropriate for the age group and the locations of them also had issues. The local guided trips were badly defined and the local guides were not sympathetic to the needs of the customers Some time was wasted due to unplanned changes in the itinerary

Because it was the first trip to this destination (we believe?) we felt we were used as test customers who experienced several issues that could have been addressed given prior shake down. We question if the hotels had been tried and the tours tested in advance??? If not why not and if they had the hadn’t learned any lessons.
