Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

A coast to coast tour from Argentina through Bolivia to Peru using mainly trains, buses and planes.

A well organised company, very approachable and receptive to accommodate minor personal changes to the basic itinerary. We were provided with a great and very helpful tour guide. The operator provided plenty of timely and useful information beforehand. The tour went exactly as described in the tour brouchure.

I enjoyed my visits to Paris, Basel, Lucerne, Milan, Pisa, Rome (briefly), Sulmona (PoW camp), Pescara and Ancona, all en route. My favourite places were Basel, Lucerne, Pisa, and Sulmona (the camp). Travelling by train was so much better than flying or driving, and less stressful. The main target, my visit to the PoW camp, was brilliantly guided by a professional historian. I and six other visitors spent almost three hours on site. The town of Sulmona is a typical regional Italian town, very welcoming.

Ffestiniog Travel produced a great itinerary, with every train and every hotel detailed, in order, in a handy A5 size wallet. That gave me great confidence before I set off. I had never done a solo trip like this before, but I am thinking already about doing another! I would certainly use Ffestiniog Travel’s services again.

Travelled by train from Cardiff to the following places : Brussels, Stuttgart, Attersee, Bruck an der Mur , Munich, Frankfurt and back home again.

We gave them an idea of our itinerary and they came up with a final schedule very quickly and we had an enjoyable time.

Our itinerary, arrangements and tour guides were exceptional.

Ffestiniog Travel, our first holiday with them and we will be using them again, because they were brilliant.

A well organised commemoration of the first tour organised by Ffestiniog Travel 50 years ago and expertly led by the same congenial leaders.

Experts in rail based holidays offering organised tours to many destinations worldwide as well as bespoke and self guided holidays.

We travelled on all the trains, and it proved a good way to see the island. The arrangements were comprehensive and our guide ensured we did all that was expected.

Details given well in advance and it was easy to check the booking details

Bespoke holiday based on a Ffestiniog Travel package but with a family visit added on.

Friendly. Professional. Knowledgeable.

Enjoyable, well organised, good hotels, good excursions.

Ffestiniog Travel.

we flew to Naples caught a train (and taxi) to Piscinisco and then a train to Rome

they were very helpful met my specifications and the hotels they chose were excellent. The train journeys were very smooth

Flight to Rome -- 4 nights in Rome --- rail to Venice -- three nights in Venice -- fly to Gatwick. Everything went smoothly. The Hotel Columbia in Rome was very well sited and a very good standard. Train to Venice excellent and on time. Hotel in Venice very well-located and again a great standard. Good flights both ways

Ffestiniog Travel. I chose them because of the rail element of the holiday and also because I knew of them through the Ffestiniog Railway. Beyond that I knew nothing about them but they proved to be excellent.
