Fully Conducted Tours 2016

Organised Holidays to France the UK and Europe Plus ça change! Our 17th year of operations was very much a year of change not least for our move from our home at Elizabeth Terminal caused by the “temporary” (2 year!) closure of the restaurant.

CONTENTS Go Tours Organised Tours 2016

Our transfer to the Broad Street Post Office has been an unqualified success with record sales and a wealth of new clients with the convenience of a town centre address in the stylish renovated new Jersey Post premises.

Since the millennium party on the first of January 2000, we have completed over 500 conducted tours throughout Europe, during which we have discovered some beautiful castles, gardens and stately homes, some spectacular scenery, some fascinating excursions and, of course, some great hotels and restaurants.

So several of our tours this year will comprise a collection of the most successful tours we have organised with the best of everything!

Our new destinations this year are to the lovely island of Sardinia and to Cardiff, the Valleys and the charming coast of South Wales.

In addition to our standard tours we are offering a new collection of Budget Weekend Tours to Brittany, Normandy and the Loire Valley for clients and their families who can only travel at weekends. Details of these tours are enclosed on a separate flyer in the brochure which will be updated through the year.

We will also endeavor to offer as many tours as possible with reduced or zero single supplements as we value our many clients who travel as singles.

Please note that some tours may involve a lot of walking, some steps and hills and may not be suitable for clients with mobility issues. Please check before booking if this may be a problem.

We look forward to serving you in 2016.
