Ffestiniog Travel are part of the Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Railway based in Porthmadog. We had never used them before, but when this trip for a wedding in Finland (having flown there many times) became possible, we contacted Kate Berry to see if it was viable, It was, and once we had established the types of hotels etc, Kate arranged everything. Excellent hotels, perfect connections, reserved seats and cabins and sleeper train (to Umeå). Brilliant trip!

An enjoyable holiday, despite some transport problems which were partly due to the exceptionally wet weather

A varied itinerary based in Innsbruck and Vienna, with some good excursions from Innsbruck. The excursions were a good mix of transport interest and general sightseeing. Our activities in Vienna were curtailed due to exceptional rainfall.

I considered that they really went the extra mile when sorting out difficulties with our return journey. A return journey by air was quickly organised when it became clear that the trains would not be running for some days due to serious flooding in Austria

We travelled from Kendal in Cumbria via Eurostar through France to Corsica where we "explored" the island by train before retracing our steps. Along the way we spent enjoyable time in London, Lyon, Marseille , Nice , Bastia , Calvi, Ajaccio ,Toulon and Lille..

Very good communication with Ffestiniog Travel, who did all the bookings for rail travel and hotels, giving a personalised itinerary to follow with all seat numbers and hotel locations clearly identified for convenience. Excellent service. All connections worked well.
