Private Group &

Special Interest Tours

In addition to our escorted and tailored rail holiday range we have developed our group tour services over the years - providing
travel expertise and arrangements for parties wishing to seek out specific places or enjoy themed holidays from riding heritage
railways, indulging an interest in culture, the arts and music, running educational tours, to escaping the busy tourist trail and
visiting remote regions in Romania, Albania and Georgia.

So, if your travel group wishes to pursue a specific activity, visit a particular country, city, event or landmark and prefer to travel mainly by rail in
the UK, Europe or further afield then we can:

■ Manage your journey and all travel – from supplying train tickets, making reservations, organising transfers, private coach travel where required
and for longer distance trips will arrange all flights
■ Book accommodation. We have close working relationships with hotels throughout the world and can manage bookings for parties of up to
40 people or more depending on destination
■ Plan sightseeing tours and excursions – this could include a steam train journey in North Wales or Germany, a lake cruise in Switzerland, a city
sights tour in Amsterdam, a history tour of Shetland or even a vintage bus tour around Yorkshire’s Brontë country
■ Group bookings also provide an opportunity to arrange private chartered journeys on heritage railways, vintage trams and other forms of transport.
■ Provide a knowledgeable tour leader if required or arrange local guides
The practical and convenient reasons for groups travelling by train are numerous:

■ No need to check in hours before travel
■ No luggage or carry on restrictions
■ You arrive in a central location, usually a city centre with hotels and restaurants minutes away so no onward transfers necessary
■ It is a sociable way to travel that allows you to chat to fellow group members
■ Travelling by train possesses an appealing old-fashioned charm

We can provide discounted group train tickets for groups of 10 or more. Ideal for special interest groups planning educational and
cultural trips or organisations requiring travel advice and services that deal with large numbers of people.

Ffestiniog Travel will manage all aspects of your trip which can be tailored according to budget. Your travel consultant will create and cost up an itinerary and you
won’t have to commit to anything until you are entirely happy – there is no obligation.
