Catalonia & Little Trains of the Pyrenees

4/Jul

Douglas Buchanan

“The itinerary was varied and well researched, and the hotel was superb. The days were filled with interesting locations to explore and the three Pyrenees Little Trains met my expectations. At one or two locations it would have been nice to spend an extra hour or two look around. The Company must be congratulated on how they handled the UK rail strike on our way home. Instead of coming home on the Saturday we spent the night and the next day in Lille. Actually a bonus day. Yes, I do recommend this holiday and the company.

C Abbot

“Good well organized holiday. Under the weather conditions (over 100 F) the train journey with no air conditions was a bit taxing! The high temperatures rather curtailed wandering around the beautiful area. Good tour manager

Floriade, Keukenhof & Amsterdam

2/Jun

Helen Brown

“The locations were amazing but the admin around the tickets each time meant that we had to queue for each local train that we took. We had Deutche Bahn tickets which did not work at the turnstiles. The hotel was fine and the food good.
