Byway Avis 

Brilliant planning and support from the ByWay team. Very good hotels chosen in excellent locations. Very timely support to queries when needed at all times, including weekends. Highly recommend this company to plan your train adventures.

Great accommodations with easy access to trains. Travel guide was personalized for our trip and was so helpful. Early planning and support was excellent.

Byway's staff listened to what we wanted from our trip to Berlin and Krakow and provided the perfect trip. They answered all the questions we had before the trip. Also, it gave us comfort knowing they were available on WhatsApp if we needed any assistance during our trip. The hotels were comfortable with friendly staff and in good locations. We would definitely use Byways again.

The product that Byway offers is fantastic - organising great rail holidays, both travel and accommodation - and they do it very efficiently and we'll. They are very good to deal with.

We have just returned from a 14 day trip through Spain organised by Byway Travel at short notice.

This was our first railway holiday and first time we had used Byway Travel. Their communication, planning, information and support provided was excellent.

We enjoyed the flexibility and will definitely use Byway Travel again.

Great company to work with. Efficient and responsive on all arrangements. They made our trip around France easy and enjoyable.

I had a great experience travelling with Byway. The customer service in particular was exceptional; from questions I had before booking to issues which came up during my trip, the team were excellent in terms of promptness and efficiency. The website is intuitive and helpful, offering suggestions for trips but also a lot of flexibility. Highly recommended.

Byway planned everything according to our request and responded very quickly to all of our queries and adjustments. The hotels are sometimes quirky and unique, sometimes more conventional but always in good positions and always welcoming.
The WhatsApp group makes us feel supported while on the trip.
We have had several trips with Byway and will do more in the future.

My wife and I had a fantastic 10 day trip taking in towns and cities in Belgium, Germany and Denmark. Byway provided a great selection of hotels and the train journeys, of which there were a lot, passed without issue and were all enjoyable.

The support was excellent, any queries we had were responded to quickly and all resolved well ahead of time. Special thanks to Hebe for the help given.

We're already planning another trip next year!

We had a broad idea that we wanted to visit Biarritz and San Sebastián and then travel east to the Pyrenees including Canfranc and Zaragoza during a festival. We left the logistics to Byways and they made good recommendations on other venues as well as working out the train journey. We had no major issues apart from a problem with paperwork at one venue which Byways resolved immediately when we reported it on the WhatsApp group. We have used Byways before and their support on the WhatsApp group is excellent.

A very helpful company who responded quickly and in a personal manner to all of our enquiries. It was useful to travel knowing that we had their support should we have required it (we didn't).

I travelled through Germany and Denmark to Stockholm. Byway organised everything, even running a zoom meeting to explain the interrail app and how to use it. They curated a wonderful collection of boutique hotels too, which I would never have picked. When there was a slight chance I might miss a connection and I asked them about it, they responded quickly and calmly (and it was all fine in the end anyway) I'm already thinking about where I might go next with them.

We completed our second Byway holiday a week ago and travelled from London down through Italy to Sicily, calling in to Paris, Zurich, Milan, Rome, Catania, Naples, and back to Milan then Paris. We experienced a small number of unforeseen difficulties in our travels, including train driver strikes and protest marches and Byway were on top of it, on each occasion. Byway provided us with prior notice of any disruption to our plans and gave us options to consider in order to minimise the impact of any changes. None of these difficulties were of their making. Suffice it to say we had a wonderful holiday, full of memories and experiences across Italy, it's a wonderful country. Some memorable highlights included a visit to the Colosseum, Pompey, Mount Etna via cable car, taking a sleeper train from Rome to Catania and calling in to visit Notre Dame on the way back.

We have just completed our 3rd trip to Andalusia with Byway and had a great time. We experienced some train disruption but were impressed by the speedy and efficient help from Byway with rearranging trains, hotels and destinations. We would recommend this company to anyone wanting to travel whilst avoiding journeys by air.

Byways organised our trip to Italy. The process was straightforward, our online journey planner was very good, with links allowing us to make transfer decisions. A WhatsApp link was provided for emergencies and the response, even on a Sunday was prompt when a ferry was cancelled. I would definitely recommend and will use again for holidays by train.

A wonderful trip through France and Spain to visit our daughter in Porto, instead of the usual flight. Asked Byway to find a suitable itinerary for a train journey after being referred to the company by both the website of Alistair Sawdays and The Man in Seat 61. After some adjustments to their proposed route and hotels we finally agreed a journey from our nearest station to London, Paris and then onto Madrid via Barcelona. After a couple of nights in Madrid finally arrived in Porto via Vigo. After a few pleasant days in Porto returned home via Vigo, San Sebastián and Paris. A wonderful trip, with lovely hotels, good food and new cultural experiences. All along the way we had excellent support from the Byway team on the few occasions where it was needed. Thank you Byway and look forward to other trips in the future, hopefully.

We enjoyed a lovely trip with Byway. Helpful ideas when booking. Smooth organisation for a multicentre trip. Lovely selection of hotels and fuss free train travel. We had a minor issue which was resolved within 30 minutes

Great holiday. Well constructed to meet our wishes. Preparation was excellent ( if you haven’t used Interail before attend the Zoom meeting) support during trip fantastic.
Will definitely use Byway again.

We were pointed to Byway Travel by the train-travel website "The Man in Seat Sixty-One". We are so happy that we found Byway! Our September 2015, multi-train trip from Paris to Istanbul went without any problems. The stopover cities that Byway chose were fascinating to visit. The hotels Byway placed us in were excellent: small, NON-chain hotels with personalized attention. They were close to the major attractions of the city. I would use Byway Travel again without hesitation!

Apart from faultless booking of our itinerary and finding us really special places to stay, the quality of communication was superb.
