What do we include ?
It’s included
We believe in giving you the best value and inclusive experience and won’t sting you with extra charges once on tour. Your holiday is way too important to be spoiled by hidden extras!
Sightseeing, guide and entrance fees (as per the itinerary) are included, so unlike most other tours, you are not hit with significant additional costs once on tour. You get to experience all the great attractions along with the rest of our group without worrying about the “extra” excursion cost or availability.
Really small
When we say “Small Group Size” that’s exactly what we mean! As a general rule you will tour with a small group of 10-26 guests, escorted by our expert Tour Host. By comparison some other companies “Small groups” can be up to 48.
You get the chance to meet your fellow travellers at our pre departure get-togethers and the on tour social activity.
What you get
Your tour price includes twin share accommodation, private airport-hotel transfers (for specified flights), entrance fees for included and prepayable attractions, plus all breakfasts, special dinners with wine, and other meals as per itinerary.
Our dedicated Tour Host is with you throughout to look after the details and ensure you have the best possible experience.
Many of our tours include visits to private gardens and stately homes often not open to the public. You also enjoy many other unique experiences. See the tour itinerary for your tour’s specific inclusions and featured sightseeing.
Our Hotels & Transport
Our hotels are generally centrally located 4 star (or best available in the location) and our tours are all hand crafted by our expert team, so you won’t find our unique and inclusive itineraries and inclusions with other companies.
As our hotels are in central locations there’s even more chance to explore at leisure.
You travel by air conditioned coach or river cruiser with our experienced and informative Tour Host and local guides. With their help we learn about the highlights, history and cultures of the places we visit
Travelling solo
Solo travellers particularly enjoy our “No compulsory Single Supplement Offer” – another unique Tour Company benefit.
If you’re by yourself – you won’t be alone, as we enjoy our amazing touring experiences together!
