About us

Ffestiniog Travel was established in 1974 by a small team of people with a passion for railways and a desire to encourage rail travel and support heritage railways across the world.

We remain a small, independent company offering up to 40 high-quality escorted rail tours each year. We also create bespoke Tailored Rail tours for independent rail travellers and private groups and provide a comprehensive rail ticketing service.

Based in North Wales, Ffestiniog Travel is a sister company to the world famous Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway Company. The close relationship with these award-winning heritage railways complements and benefits our ‘Rail Holidays of the World’. In return our profits help support the preservation of the world’s oldest narrow gauge railways - so every holiday you book with us helps sustain their future.

As one of the UK’s oldest rail tour operators we have unrivalled experience in all aspects of preserved and modern day rail travel – an essential asset when planning and executing worldwide train travel plans.

Our friendly team of travel consultants and tour leaders are experts in researching destinations, rail journeys and sightseeing opportunities to create a rail holiday experience that fulfils all expectations.
