Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

Helpful guide. Good coach link to venues. Hotels good. Vélorail car ride experience was memorable as was the visit to model railway garden. Steam train rideas exciting as expected. Good overall experience.

Full information given prior to holiday. Good e mail and phone communication.

The holiday included air, rail and a week in Cadiz. All went very well indeed.

Efficient and helpful

This was a well organised guided tour that was well organised in every respect. The company's organisation and the tour leadership were excellent.

This is my forth tour with `Ffestiniog Travel`. As before the description of the holiday was accurate. The cost was reasonable. The organisation of the tour was smooth and without hitch. The tour leadership was excellent.

Generally excellent with a few problems which the Tour Leader was able to resolve.

Made error with coach reservation on one leg but quickly resolved by Tour Leader

This was my first holiday with Ffestiniog Travel and I have no complaints whatsoever. The only thing which went wrong was a broken suspension on a French steam engine so one particular railway was only half covered and with diesel vice steam power but this is in no way anyone's fault. All arrangements made by the company, the hotel, the tour leader and coach driver all worked perfectly and everybody got on well with each other as far as I could tell.

This was my first trip with Ffestiniog Travel and I have nothing but praise for all concerned and I hope to travel with them again.

I flew from London to Halifax (Canada), staying there a few days. Then traveled in stages by train to Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, staying a few days in each city, flying back from Toronto. Canada is a very civilised place to visit ... holiday very enjoyable.

I specified to Ffestiniog Travel on which trains I wished to travel in Canada and on which dates, and they suggested to me three-star city-centre hotels for each city I stopped in. They booked the air and train travel tickets, and all the hotels for me. Pre-travel planning and booking arrangements very efficient. Actual holiday went very smoothly.

This three day min-break in North Wales was primarily to travel on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways to Blaenau and Caernafon. The weather was appropriately Welsh but the scenery just spectacular for it.

Ffestinog Travel have obviously a lot of direct experience in organising this type of tour and it went like clockwork or rather steam! Pre- and post-travel interest by the team was high.

We visited parts of the States we hadn't been to before and all by Amtrak - very impressed (much better than UK trains). Good contrasts between Chicago and Washington/Savannah and Charleston. Excellent hotels in very convenient locations - already looking for another similar trip!

Ffestiniog Travel in Porthmadog specialize in holidays by train all over the world, and are very knowledgeable and efficient at arranging them.Although quite a complicated schedule we were confident it would all go like clockwork and it did!

Tailormade to Italy

Helpful advice prior to finalising arrangements added to experience

Flew to Vancouver to visit relatives, then took Amtrak Cascades train to Portland, Oregon. Day trip to Salem & return to witness total solar eclipse. Onwards by overnight Coast Starlight train to San Francisco for sightseeing/boat trip under Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz island. Flew home to LHR
