Review Time
We booked the Byway trip to Marrakesh. My husband and young adult children were somewhat sceptical about the amount of time we would spend on the train. No need to fear - we all loved it. A great adventure crossing through France and Spain and then catching the ferry to north Africa. Adequate time spent in each place (although we did extend our stay in Fez to 3 nights rather than 2). As well as all the beautiful places we passed through, the travel was also a great part of the adventure. Would strongly recommend this trip. Byways made everything so very easy - even details like how to book Paris Metro tickets ahead so you did not have to queue at a ticket machine on arrival. It was great fun each evening downloading all the tickets and speculating on the next day of exploration. So sad to have to fly home due to time pressures. Would highly recommend this travel company.
This was our first holiday abroad since 2020 and our priority was to travel in a climate friendly way. Byway tailored our holiday around our preferred travel dates, booking trains and hotels along the way and informing us about any timetabling issues promptly so these could be dealt with straightaway. The journey guide enabled us to load our tickets when needed secure in the knowledge that they were there on a WhatsApp chat if required. We were impressed with the quality of the hotels we stayed in and the trains booked for us, often first class. Our first holiday will certainly not be our last holiday with Byway.
Booked our 2week holiday through Byway travel company. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. All our queries were answered promptly. Train journeys were organised and everything explained clearly. All hotels were perfect and location of all really convenient. Would definitely book again with Byway
Visited some wonderful places, stayed in fantastic hotels, with great advice and support from Byway. We had some ideas of where we wanted to go but they made the trip extra special by suggesting stops and navigating the travel for us and offering hotel suggestions.
Really interesting itineraries, very carefully planned and presented. Byways were always on hand to answer any questions. They kept us updated and we couldn’t have had a better experience. Hotels we stayed in were all good. We’d definitely travel with Byways again.
Great way to see more of the country as you travel. We saw the bulk of the UK, Scotland and ended with a ferry ride to Ireland. All accomodations were cosy; descriptions were accurate; the one time we required support, they were right there !
Excellent company who provide an excellent service. They guide through the creation, nuts and bolts of setting up the trip in a simple personalised way. They are available immeadiately via WhatsApp during the trip and able and willing to manage problems. Very customer orientated. Only word of caution is check accommodation suits you.
We have just returned from our first Byway holiday and it will definitely not be our last. We used the concierge service to create a personalised trip based on just a few key things we wanted to included (the Bernina Express and city breaks in Florence and Bologna). The suggested itinerary was provided very quickly and was excellent and well thought through. I think we requested 1 or 2 minor tweaks. It was very easy to see alternative hotel options and make adjustments to those and train timings prior to finalising things. After booking, the information provided was clear annd comprehensive. All our tickets and seat reservations were very easy to access throughout the trip. We only needed to check on one thing whilst away due to a train being cancelled - the response was very quickly and very helpful, which gave us confidence if we needed more serious help it would have been available.We found travelling by train to be much more relaxing than flying (and I quite like flying!) and it gave us so much flexibility - on a couple of occasions we decided to take an earlier train than originally planned and it was very simple and quick to update our interrail pass.
