Ffestiniog Travel Traveller Reviews

We travelled through Switzerland by rail using the mountain railways, funiculars and cable cars to visit high alpine areas with wonderful views of the surrounding peaks. The holiday was well thought out and organised so we were easily able to achieve all our objectives. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Ffestiniog Travel give a very personal service and ensure that all aspects of the holiday are carefully planned in advance to ensure that things go smoothly. The information given out is excellent and helps with the enjoyment of the holiday

Ffestiniog Travel. Efficient.

A wonderful mix of steam railways, historic cities, attractive countryside, and delicious food. As always, travelling with FR Travel provides you with a great tour leader, friendly and varied company, and the opportunity to follow up your own interests. It was so good, I'd love to do it again sometime!

The schedule was perfectly paced for a group like ours, purposeful but never hurried, and the rail travel and hotel arrangements had been made with meticulous care. That doesn't just happen; it reflects the skill and experience of the tour company and the tour leader.

Excellent in every way.

Could not be faulted..

Perfectly organised and everything ran to time. Holiday leader was excellent

Perfect

Tailor made holiday to Switzerland including travel and hotels excluding evening meals

They listened to our requirements and promptly answered any questions we had.

Train and ferries all the way, brilliantly arranged for us by Ffestiniog Travel. The journey was a ‘circular’ from Macclesfield (Cheshire) via London, Brussels, Hamburg, Kiel (ferry), Gothenburg, Oslo, Umeå (ferry), Vaasa, Turku (ferry), Stockholm, Copenhagen, Cologne and back to Macclesfield. ,

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!
