Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

Unescorted holiday in early March to Stockholm, Narvik and Luleå.

Efficient, speedy and accurate.

The holiday ranged from seeing the Australian outback by train, visiting major cities in Australia and New Zealand and seeing plentiful countryside in New Zealand as well. Breaking up the journey on the way were short stops in Singapore on the way out and Hong Kong on the way back providing added city interest and breaking up the long journeys to and from Australia and New Zealand

Everything that was advertised duly occurred

A great experience with an excellent tour. The fine weather gave us the contrast between the green valleys of Switzerland and the deep snowy peaks. The clockwork operation of Swiss Railways has to be experienced first-hand.

Ffestiniog Travel organised a very smooth holiday with well-chosen hotels, restaurants and travel and excellent tour leaders who took the trouble to make sure everyone on the trip enjoyed themselves. They ensured both individual interests were met and group activities were available. An excellent trip.

Two good centres for exploring Switzerland with well-organised excursions

Knowledgeable, helpful, adaptable, friendly.

There was plenty of Snow on the Alps and we could see it all thanks to the excellent weather - hardly a cloud in the sky the whole time we were in Switzerland. Four flexible days to make good use of of our Rail Passes and two fixed days for the most famous rail journeys in the Alps. The highlights for me were the Bernina Express and a day trip to Zermatt and up the Gornergratbahn with the views of the Matterhorn and the other 4,000m peaks. High quality hotels, with the Freieck in Chur being outstanding.

The tour was well-designed, pre-tour admin was good and the tour in reality matched or exceeded the brochure description. Tour leadership was very good, coping with everything that happened with competence and patience.

Ffestiniog Travel Tremadoc

Have been on this holiday for last 15 years which says it all

Good attention to detail

Met family in Dubai before onward travel to Perth WA to stay with friends for 4 days, then on to Melbourne to meet family. Flight to Brisbane to join "The Spirit of Queensland" overnight train to Cairns. Boat trip to Green Island for Great Barrier Reef then journey break in Hong Kong on way home to Manchester.

This trip was arranged at very short notice (~ 4 weeks) but having had two previous trips tailor-made by FR Travel, we were confident in their ability to produce and we were confident we wouyld not be dissapointed.

The tour was to Peru and Bolivia. The tour arrangements were excellent, the tour leader was very helpful and friendly and overall it was a great experience.

The operator provides all sorts of travel information and services and also operates many escorted railway tours in the UK and worldwide. On this tour the arrangements were excellent and the leader and local guides were very helpful informative

To celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary We travelled by train to Italy, visiting Milan, Rome, Florence and Venice.

Ffestiniog Travel and Liz Turner in particular arranged all our travel and hotels. The hotels were all very good and in ideal locations for the places of interest.
