Vintage Railways of the Isle of Man

John Oxley

“Despite the problems with the ferry crossings both going and returning to Heysham, I felt the holiday was a success and the tour manager should be highly commended for the way she dealt with all the problems. The Great Rail Journeys Head Office should also be congratulated for so swiftly arranging accommodation due to cancelled ferries and paying for an extra evening meal both the Lancaster Hotel on the way out and at the Isle of Man hotel before our return on the evening ferry. The holiday programme itself on the Island lived up to expectation and I thoroughly enjoyed all the experiences and the hotel where we stayed was excellent with the staff being very friendly and helpful.

“Tour courier was especially helpful - always going the extra mile! The NH hotel in Turin was a let down. The light switches did not work and the washbasin plug was inoperable.

All topped off with tasty Sicilian food and wine…

“A 5 star trip in every way. We loved the programme; Mid Wales is spectacularly beautiful, particularly seen from narrow track steam engines; Metropole Spar Hotel is a very good hotel with attentive staff and good food. A special mention forTrevor Elliott, our manager, who was attentive, interesting and kind. He ensured that everything ran smoothly and enhanced the whole experience for us.
