Fantastic
Right from the first enquiry Byway were brilliant They were very helpful and took our wishes and budget into account to produce our tailored trip to Southern Spain During the trip they answered a query about WiFi on Spanish trains a real first-world problem quickly and effectively through the dedicated WhatsApp chat The holiday itself was the probably best I ve ever had Yes it was more stressful than just getting on a plane but slow travel if you can call a 320km h TGV slow is much more rewarding Both my wife and I feel like the trip has boosted our confidence and we ve seen some wonderful places This was largely thanks to the level of detail that Byway s itinerary includes with lots of helpful advice and sensible timings Unlike a regular holiday you do have to thoroughly prepare in advance making sure you ve read all the information and have the right apps installed on your phone but Byway made that process much simpler Thoroughly recommended

With you all the way
For a first time solo mature lady rail traveller this holiday experience was the best it could have been and has inspired me to do more Reassurance all the way that I would get to my end destination on time despite the threat of strikes and potential flooding which actually didn t occur The choice of hotels was perfect I won t hesitate to use Byway again for my next holiday

Journey to Catalonia
Journey to CataloniaThis was the first time we have used Byways and the bookings for all trains and hotels worked well with a detailed information pack and sufficient time allowed for connections Good choice of hotels and information provided on local sights and activities Useful pre-holiday support with sorting the route and understanding the rail planner app

High quality and friendly
We have travelled with Byway twice now and found them to be excellent in terms of the quality of their product and their friendliness They created a bespoke experience both times which ran perfectly The software they use also improved significantly over the two years

Bespoke rail tour of Puglia
Byway organised a bespoke rail tour of Puglia for us It was only a little more expensive than if we d done the legwork ourselves but with a better itinerary probably better accommodation and of course the backup of a travel agency Customer service throughout the experience was spot-on

We used Byway for a trip through France
We used Byway for a trip from London through Paris 2 nights in Nimes 2 nights in Marseilles a week with friends in rural Provence and 2 nights in Avignon Everything was so smoothly handled that even the one hour train delay leaving Avignon didn t cause a problem Byway Whatsapp support is such a great idea They answer quickly and are ready to offer contingency plans if needed We are already looking forward to our next train holiday

Really organised great holiday
Really great holiday organised by Byway The communication was spot on and although we didn t need to call on the support it was reassuring to know they were there to help The level of detail supplied for each part of the trip was unreal even down the step by step instructions on how to reach each hotel from the train station The suggested sightseeing in each location were really useful
