Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

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

Visited sites and cities of particular interest to people interested in electric transport, including 5 transport museums and 7 operational systems of trams or light rail, including depot visits and conducted tours of operational centres. This would not have been possible to organise privately, and required much organisation by the tour operators.

All arrangements worked well. Hotels were generally of a very good standard. Advance information was comprehensive. My specialised dietary requirements were all met very satisfactorily by responsive tour management. Considering everything that we did, I felt it was good value. I felt the tour was well paced, suited to most of the party being pensioners, and leaving some time for extra activities. Tour leader very attentive, and very well briefed and informed.

We spent 18 days in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, including 4 days in the Amazon Rain Forest. We packed an incredible amount into those 18 days - climbing volcanoes, watching wildlife, snorkelling, trekking through the jungle, remarkable train ride on the Devil's Nose! We stayed in a range of accommodation from basic on the catamaran in the Galapagos to five star luxury in Guayaquil, but all came up to standard and were in keeping with our surroundings. We had knowledgeable guides throughout - without them we would have missed a lot.

Ffestiniog Travel made excellent arrangements and we can't thank them enough for having suggested the stay in the rain forest, something we hadn't considered when we first looked at the holiday. Everything worked like clockwork from the minite we arrived until our arrival back in Manchester.

The holiday was full board with touring part of the SILK ROAD within Uzbekistan. Visited the capital city Tashkent, Samarkand, Buchara and Kiev with a local guide who was excellent in giving us information about the places visited. Saw a lot of madrasas, minarets and folk shows and visited shops.

Well planned and the facilities arranged in Uzbekistan including hotels, meals, guide and mode of transport were excellent.

Able to see some some great vistas from our train journeys.

Ffestiniog travel kept us fully informed at every stage. From first enquiery to booking.

The tour company planned an effective holiday and were flexible in making alterations to enhance the experience

A small company with a personal touch

Enjoyable, entertaining, well-organised, and a great group of fellow travellers

Ffestiniog Travel. Specializes in railway related cultural tours, escorted and independent.

I went on a short trip to Ostend and The Hague by train. Although I'd been to Belgium and the Netherlands several times before, I hadn't visited these two places. Ffestiniog Travel made all of the arrangements and everything went as planned.

I've used Ffestiniog Travel quite a few times before and this trip was like all of the previous ones, well planned, easy booking, good advanced information and no palaver.
