The Splendour of Corsica Traveller Reviews

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..

Always felt you were in safe hand with people who knew what they were doing..

3 centre holiday in Corsica with intermediate travel by rail

Ffestiniog Travel - well known tour operator and travel agent

Well organised tour lead by an excellent guide.

We were given plenty of advance information prior to departure and communication by post and telephone was good.

Our 13 night tour via the best of Europe's trains (Eurostar, TGV and Corsican "Tremblers"!) took us from the heart of London to the wonderful island of Corsica. We stayed in 3 cities on the island, and with only one pre-arranged full-day tour around the picturesque north cape ("Cap Corse") there was plenty of free time to explore and learn about the history and culture, as well as relax in the sun and enjoy local food

The tour was very well managed by FFestiniog Travel, they were easy to contact, the tour information was accurate and published in good time, and the hotel accommodation was generally well chosen.

Corsica by rail and ferry

First time we had travelled with them as an alternative to other rail holiday operators. They are a bit more expensive but as a result they offer a bit more. Would be likely to use them again if an opportunity to visit somewhere we hadn't been before within Europe arose.
