Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

This tour to sample the delights of Narrow Gauge Steam Railways of Eastern Germany was a fantastic holiday experience. The schedule ran like clockwork, hotels were of a fine standard and even the weather behaved. Ffestiniog continue to deliver high quality tours and I certainly shall have no hesitation to travel with them again.

I have been travelling with Ffestiniog Travel for many years and have found them to be nothing other than exceptional at organising and delivering a great holiday experience. I normally take tailor made holidays through this company and this was the first group trip I have taken. I will not hesitate to book another and would recommend this company to anyone who appreciates a professional and uniquely personal holiday experience.

a varied interesting and largely enjoyable tour around the railways of Ireland ad some of the tourist attractions as well.

comprehensive pre-tour material. covered largely what they said that we would. Some details could be improved before a repeat.

A well planned two-week escorted group tour by rail. There were three main bases in eastern Germany from which forays were made to local narrow gauge railways and other places of interest. The hotels were well chosen for their location and facilities and all had English-speaking staff. Travel was made predominantly by rail using an Interrail pass, which gave both simplicity and flexibility, and the itinerary ran flawlessly. The tour leader was both friendly and efficient.

Ffestiniog Travel excels in organising rail-based holidays for both individuals and groups. It is a large enough organisation to be able to have staff with a range of specialities but is small enough to ensure that each customer can be offered personal attention.

We visited the tram networks of Belgium and the Netherlands. We rode at our leisure and visited several tramway museums. All our travel was by rail.

Our trip was well organised with a very helpful leader. Ffestiniog Travel are an excellent and trustworthy company to deal with at a very reasonable cost.

Irish Circular tour, visiting both Ireland and Northern Ireland by rail and coach travel, with a group of eighteen people. Mainly aimed at people interested in railways, which I am.

Ffestiniog travel. Catering more for people 50 and over and with an interest in railways.

Reached our full expectations and a holiday to remember

Personal service above all was excellent

We stayed at Gent and Rotterdam and used these as bases to explore the tramway systems of the main cities in Belgium and the Netherlands, with time to explore their cultural heritage.

Ffestiniog Travel are experienced in designing and operating tours that appeal to railway enthusiasts and others, and bring together like-minded people for an inspiring holiday.

This was a rail oriented holiday staying in several centres. We were in Transylvania, and visited several of the former Saxon towns, with a good mix of history, culture and narrow gauge steam railways, and with most travel between centres by main-line rail. The small group size enabled a sixteen seat minibus to be used throughout for transfers, and to carry luggage between centres, leaving passengers luggage-free on the longer train journeys.

A very well researched holiday, with a Ffestiniog Tour Manager working in conjunction with a local guide, who has been working with Ffestiniog Travel for some years. The holiday exceeded my expections. Hotels were good quality, and I was delighted at the very good value experienced in restaurants.

A very enjoyable trip to Bulgaria, including excellent hotels, very good local guide and support from Ffestiniog Travel. All in all the holiday fully met with my expectations.

Ffestiniog Travel runs very well organised and supported railway based holidays and never lets one down.

Georgia was so different from any other country we had ever visited, even though we have visited eastern Europe many times as we have Family in Poland.The countryside was wild and beautiful. We found the food excellent and fresh. The Georgian people were helpful. The holiday was wonderful, what more could be said!

Excellent in every way. Top marks.
