Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

An excellent holiday which we thoroughly enjoyed. We look forward to travelling with this company again.

A tour operator that prides itself in providing excellent and well-reserached ho;idays

A really interesting short trip to visit the beautiful Harz mountains of Germany and its working steam railways. The hotels were of a good standard and, certainly in Weringerode, located centrally for the town. Travel, all by train, was relatively straightforward and comfortable.

Ffestiniog Travel were a pleasure to deal with. They made every stage of booking etc easy and painless. The information provided was accurate and comprehensive. I will certainly be looking at their brochure with interest in future.

Some good, some not so good some poor organisation

Rep could have better knowledge of local area

Group European tour based around European trams. Well planned itinerary and thought out programme. Sufficient free time for sightseeing and doing own thing. Excellent, experienced tour leader provided throughout. Only down side was a couple of the hotels we stayed in.

Professionals at special interest holidays. Experienced and knowledgeable tour leaders provided which take a lot of the hard work out of these type of holidays. Would recommend to others seeking this type of holiday.

An enjoyable visit to the beautiful town of Wernigerode in the Hatz mountains with opportunities to travel on steam trains and see mountain and forest scenery and villages with ancient timber framed buildings.

Ffestiniog Travel organised everything efficiently and details provided were clear and detailed. The tour leader Stephen Painter was particularly good in making sure we had a good holiday and arranging excursions to take advantage of what the locality had to offer.

All trains on time and we were free on our stay to enjoy the lake in northern Italy

Allways available to help as we have used their service for over ten years

We travelled in a private party of 18 elderly ladies. The arrangements: rail, government coaches, horse tram and hotel were all perfect. Everything that was arranged (and that was almost EVERYTHING) worked perfectly. A coach took us from the hotel to the train stations and met us at the end and took us to the hotel etc. Everything was on time and all the islanders / staff were excellent. The hotel provided for us was excellent.

Ffestiniog Travel arranged everything for us but the holiday was not escorted

By train to Switzerland and then spent 14 days touring the country by train, seeing the most wonderful scenery in beautiful sunshine. Swiss Travel Pass gave us First Class travel on all journeys and free entry into many museums. Good accommodation and an excellent tour leader with an incredible knowledge of Swiss Railways.

Operator well organised, provided plenty of information. All their arrangements worked smoothly. The tour leader was excellent with an incredible knowledge of the country and its railways.

The holiday was a tour taking in the English Tramways and Trolleybus museums. At four locations we had the opportunity to drive, under supervision, a tram or trolleybus and to visit depots and workshops.

Ffestiniog Travel is a thoroughly professional tour operator who pride themselves in providing a top class, high quality service. This was my third tour with them and the standard of them all has been excellent.

We travelled by train across Poland, Germany and Belgium to celebrate our 50 years of friendship. Our hotels were excellent, with breakfast included which we certainly didn't expect. All train journeys, including Eurostar, were without incident and all seats were booked as advertised. You made our holiday anxiety free and we were left to simply enjoy the whole experience.

Ffestiniog travel took the anxiety out of complex train and hotel bookings and gave us a clear instructions to follow
