Ffestiniog Travel have been arranging these sort of tours for a long time. I have been on several trips before and the organisation is always excellent. They use good hotels and have a experienced tour leader on hand to lead the tour.

First trip to Florence by rail with Ffestiniog

Superbly planned holiday. Detailed itinerary on paper and digitally. Lots of useful tips for travel. Great choice of hotels central for our daily adventures around the cities.

Fulfiling many activities I would not have done otherwise

Visiting the Stockton and Darlington 200th Anniversary events plus several heritage railways, which I probably would have been unlikely to visit otherwise.

Personalised rail tour of Switzerland

We wished to tour Switzerland by rail at our own pace and recognised the need to draw on the expertise of a specialist travel agency in realising our plans. Ffestiniog Travel helped us pull our thoughts together and made excellent arrangements. We made a substantial tour of many of the rail highlights of Switzerland to our great delight.

Rating for tour operator:

Helpful. Clearly well-informed to a level way beyond what we could have found on the internet ourselves.

Narrow Gauge in Eastern Germany

Great tour, very well organised, great communication. Value for money as the hotels and transportation were excellent. Had some great experiences and toured some of the best steam lines on the continent. Also beer and currywurst!
