A superb, well-planned and well-mananged holiday
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.





Very good

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.





Top Class Touring in South America
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.

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.





Very enjoyable.

Wonderful study trip
visiting a number of sites of railway interest with scenery in between in the mountainous parts of Italy and Switzerland in fine October weather; what more could one want?
