This was my first time travelling on a planned itinerary coach tour and I had such an amazing experience. My Travel Director, Robin O'Malley, was a wonderful and informative guide explaining exactly what was planned for the coming days. There were some very nice 'treats' thrown in too, which made the tour extra special. I would definitely recommend to friends. - Ann H
