Ffestiniog Travel know their tour areas well, and provide an experienced tour leader with good knowledge of the area. They also allow you the freedom to leave the group on any day if you wish to pursue your own special interest or place you want to see.

Memorable

We undertook a tailor-made holiday by rail to Austria to visit relatives and stayed at Cologne, Linz and Vienna along the way. The Christmas markets were wonderful and the snow added to the experience !!!

Ffestiniog Travel helped to plan our holiday and kept an eye on our progress as we journeyed to Austria. We were very grateful to Tracy for alerting us about the cancellation of one of our trains and re-booking us on other trains later that day.

This was our first holiday with Ffestiniog travel and we were very impressed indeed. The pre-holiday administration was efficient, friendly and helpful; and Alan, our tour leader, was knowledgeable, approachable and supportive. There was a really positive atmosphere throughout the whole holiday, and this was also helped by the two trainee leaders, Josh and Stephen, who were also knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely travel with Ffestiniog again!

The very best of Autralia

The holiday was very well organised and went without any problems which is excellent for such a long trip with so many hotels, trains etc to arrange.

An exceptionally enjoyable tour with a friendly leader also good to have local guides in Singapore and Bangkok. There is usually one who tries to upset the apple cart and this was no exception but we all just got on with it and had a great time. Due to the fact that we had a group airline ticket we found that the airlines could or would not accommodate us when we ask to upgrade?

Jordan tour

Excellent tour of Jordan, covering all the “normal” sites but also two outstanding steam charters, Aqaba, a desert overnight stay and a visit to the King of Jordan’s car museum. Exceptional local guide.

Jordan: ancient and modern

Nine very full days covering nearly all the main sites in Jordan, discovering a fascinating and varied history from ancient and biblical times to the present. Friendly and welcoming people, and an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Highlights were Petra (of course!) despite the crowds, and two unforgettable steam train rides.

We have always found Ffestiniog helpful and efficient, which is one reason why we chose them for this tour. Some last minute hotel availability problems, outside their control, were managed efficiently.
