Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

An all rail trip to Eastern Germany to observe and ride the remaining steam rail operations.

Always very keen to make sure everything went as planned.

Travel by rail through France excellent, as well as on the isl;and of Corsica. The ferry experience, not quite so good. A splendid experience of the island of Corsica.

The holiday was easy to book and well managed with lots of pre holiday information.

Tour of the Western Isles of Scotland and places of interest on the mainland.

Good.

very good covered all aspecyts of railways on isle of man and gave us access to experiences we could not do on own

fully lived up to expectations -escorted -tour guide well organised was able to sort out a couple of minor issues quickly and calmly

A week, nearly all in good weather, experiencing all that the unique Isle of Man transport system has to offer. Arrangements had been made for us to have 'hands on' experiences and to make some 'behind the scenes' visits to places inaccessible to 'ordinary' tourists.

Ffestiniog Travel have a long history of specialising in rail based tours, but unlike some of the other players (GRJ, Railtrail etc) recognise that participants might be rail enthusiasts keen to explore the railways in greater detail than the average tourist. FfT are also flexible about participants 'doing their own thing' (at their own risk).

A fabulous mix of activity and relaxation amid the stunning scenery of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding majestic peaks. The integrated transport system means you can hop from train to boat to cable car to trolley bus and enjoy all the beautiful locations and activities without worrying how to reach them.

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable people, both office based and the tour leaders. This is why we keep coming back to Ffestiniog Travel again and again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our grand tour of the Scottish highlands , it covered so much in one holiday in Scotland and we appreciated all the behind the scenes organisation to make it all flow smoothly.

Barry was professional, well organised and cheerful in his manner every day . He allowed for some flexibility for some in our party when they asked and was always attentive if folk had any issues in any of the hotels on the way .

Short break in Aberystwyth including two historic rail trips

Ffestiniog travel provided good ideas and planning was perfect

Tour of north, east and south Kyrgyzstan by mini-bus, starting in the capital (Bishkek) - a lively "green" and relatively new city built in the Soviet era. Beautiful mountain scenery, stunning "steppe" landscapes explored and great inter-action with people who continue their nomadic way of life. Yurt-making, camels, eagles and yaks plus different but brilliant food made this trip unforgettable - but also very hot and dusty! Hotels generally good although, as expected, not always up to Western standards.

Ffestiniog Travel used a company called Eco Tour based in Kyrgyzstan. Together they provided an excellent tour. As this was only the second time it had been operated some things could be improved for next time, but I know that the operators will carefully consider any suggestions as they are a small company that listens to its customers and are flexible in their approach.
