Stunning Switzerland by Rail

Ffestiniog Travl organised our honeymoon to Switzerland. It included travelling to different areas of the country including Chur, Luzerne and Meiringen. We were able to specify to have a few days in a few towns so that we could explore by ourselves the local area, as well as undertaking some pre-planned day trips too. All travel was via rail which meant we could enjoy the countryside and scenery. It takes much longer than flying to reach Switzerland ...

Rating for tour operator:

Ffestiniog Travel were absolutely first class. They were able to tailor the trip to our needs and preferences, make alterations where needed and were extremely knowledgeable about international travel. The service provided by their team exceed all expectations and we will now consult with them on all future international rail holidays that we decide to take in the future.

Excellent, well organised and well run tour.

Excellent escorted holiday following the river Rhine from sea to source. Very well organised, but leaving free time to do our own thing, especially in the evenings. Very informative and well thought out itinerary. A very good and varied holiday.

Jordan: Steam, Petra, Dead Sea by Lurch, 18 Oct 2022

Incredible!

Where do I start? Petra and Wadi Rum were astonishing. I understand fully the remark that Petra requires 2-3 days. But the one day I had was hardly a let-down and oh so fulfilling. The two train rides laid on were an enthusiast's dream. The colours and rock formations of Wadi Rum especially were wonderful! What I saw in 8 days I will cherish forever. Thankfully it is all on camera.

Trouble-free from beginning to end. The planning before and the execution during the trip were first class. And this is largely because of Mike Wells and local guide Omar.

Isle of Man Driving Experience by Tinabun, 17 Oct 2022
Holiday Rating:

Exceeded our expectations!

We travelled to the Isle of Man for the driving experience. There was so much included and we had exclusive use more than we expected. From the tour round the stables (my favourite part!) to all the driving and hands on experience we were given it was a holiday full of perfect days making great memories.

Stimulating rail travel with like-minded people

A journey through France by train, stopping at interesting and historic places, seeing some wonderful French landscapes with visits to two fascinating, preserved narrow-gauge railways. The holiday experience was slightly marred by a rail replacement service which did not meet the high standards of the rest of the holiday but that was no fault of the tour operator.

A small company which gives very good personal service and provided excellent documentation for the trip. The courier was very friendly and knowledgeable and effectively dealt with any problems that occurred during the trip
