Book a rail holiday with Ffestiniog Travel and support us and our future

Ffestiniog Travel celebrates 50 years of rail touring in 2024, having escorted its very first overseas rail tour to Switzerland in 1974.  It continues to escort travellers around the globe, introducing new itineraries each year alongside popular rail holiday favourites. As a sister company to the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, profits made from Ffestiniog Travel’s rail holidays are used for the continued preservation of the FR and WHR so by booking a rail tour or a train ticket through Ffestiniog Travel you are supporting us and our future.

The rail tour operator has launched its new 2025 ‘Rail Holidays of the World’ brochure featuring up to 40 escorted tours. There is a wide variety of tour types to choose from including heritage and steam train tours to scenic and cultural rail holidays. There are lots of ways to see the world by train that will appeal to the traveller who is looking for something different or something specific. The benefits of rail travel are undeniable:

  • Reach your holiday destination easier by train
  • Let the rail journey be part of the holiday
  • You see more of a country’s scenery and landmarks during a holiday by taking the train
  • Reach European destinations by train and avoid busy airports, early check-ins and luggage restrictions
  • By taking the train you minimise your carbon footprint impact
  • Group rail holidays are a sociable and comfortable way to travel – chat to fellow passengers, read a book or take a stroll and stretch your legs

Below are a few examples of the escorted rail tours Ffestiniog Travel will be running over the next year:
