Coach Holidays 

2019

Welcome 

to our 2019 Holiday Brochure 

We try to offer as wide a 

range of destinations as 

possible – from 

overnight breaks to 

long duration 

continental holidays. 

For our hotel choices, 

we try to be as clear as 

possible, offering a 

wide range to suit every 

pocket. The enjoyment of your holiday is our driving 

motivation – we aim to match your expectations 

with reality and for you to want to return to us time 

and time again. Value for money is obviously 

important but we do strongly believe that you get 

what you pay for. 

We are constantly investing in our fleet of coaches – this year we 

have already added a brand-new Mercedes Special Edition. 

Today’s coaches are extremely sophisticated and offer very high 

levels of comfort with toilet facilities and modern safety features. 

We are a family business who have been serving the local area 

for over 20 years – since 1996. After all these years we know how 

important our team of drivers and office staff are in making your 

holiday the very best it can be. We hope that once you have met 

them, travelled in our coaches, enjoyed the company of our 

drivers and noticed the attention to detail we make to ensure 

your holiday runs smoothly – you will notice our difference!

Strasbourg & Alsace

+ 2 x Dinner Bed & Breakfast | £575 

Single Supplement: £175 

Situated on the border with Germany, the beautiful French 

city of Strasbourg nestles on the River Rhine and is a 

wonderful destination to explore. As the capital of the 

Alsatian Region, the city has a unique culture and is 

surrounded by a landscape of deep forests and vineyards, as 

well as picturesque villages of half-timbered houses with 

coloured walls and steep roofs. 

Our holiday to the area has a relaxed itinerary with overnight stops 

each way in a quality 4* hotel whilst the central position of the hotel 

allows for easy access to the historic city centre. There is much to 

discover - relax and stroll through the cobbled streets and explore the 

narrow passageways with overhanging balconies and cascades of 

brightly coloured hanging flowers. Strasbourg is also renowned as the 

centre for Alsatian gastronomy which marries French and German 

cuisine in to unique local specialities. 

This holiday will suit those who have a love for France and are happy to 

explore independently. A lovely holiday. 

Best Western Monopole Metropole HHHH

as it dates back to 1895 but inside it mixes an 

elegant traditional style with modern 

contemporary and the benefits of modern

Cathedral are within a 15 minute walk. 

The extensive buffet breakfast includes 

scrambled eggs and bacon and is served in the elegant breakfast 

room. In the evening, relax in an armchair in the stylish modern bar.

restaurant. There is a wide choice in the local area - the helpful staff 

will be able to offer recommendations for you. The bedrooms are 

decorated in a contemporary style with air-conditioning and modern 

en suite bathrooms with walk-in shower or bathtub, hairdryer, Free

HOTELS 

We offer a range of hotel accommodation which have different 

levels of comfort, facilities and quality. When selecting your 

holiday please ensure that the quality will match your requirements. 

This is generally related to the cost of the holiday but if you have any 

specific requirements please talk to our staff who will be able to help. 

Some of our hotels have chosen not to be members of the RAC/AA and as 

such are not star rated. This is not necessarily an indication of a lower standard 

of accommodation. 

If you have special requirements please notify us as soon as possible. The hotel 

will be notified before your arrival but please remember that rooms are 

allocated by the hotels. 

Rooms for Single Occupancy are in high demand and very often are sold out. 

Some hotels charge a supplement for these rooms, the cost of which is 

indicated in this brochure. 

We try to indicate all the room and hotel facilities for each hotel within the 

information in this brochure but cannot accept liability for any alterations made 

by the hotel before our arrival. Sometimes amenities such as swimming pools 

and lifts may be out of service whilst entertainment may be curtailed, altered or 

cancelled due to hotel number. 

Hot drink making facilities are not normally available in Continental hotel 

bedrooms but are usually available at the bar/café. 

When travelling abroad, you should expect the food to be served in the national 

custom and therefore different to British cuisine. For some hotels, particularly 

overnight hotels the restaurant will serve a set menu. If, when you are at the 

hotel, you require an alternative this is normally available but may incur an 

additional cost for you. 

These days, many hotels are excellent at providing Special Diets. Please let us 

know as soon as possible so they can make preparations early. 

Many meals are taken as a group in the restaurants and usually involve sharing 

tables with 2 or more other diners in our group. 

HOLIDAY ITINERARIES AND SUITABILITY 

We pride ourselves on the planning of our holidays to provide an exciting 

and enjoyable holiday experience. Many are planned months in advance and 

may require adjustment to the itineraries due to changes at destinations or 

attractions. 

Our itineraries are displayed in the brochure and you should carefully consider 

suitability before booking your holiday. You are, of course, quite welcome not 

to join any particular excursion during your holiday. 

Provided we are informed before departure, we are happy to take manual 

walking aids and folding wheelchairs up to 15kg in weight. Unfortunately, we are 

not able to carry any electric wheelchairs or scooters, although these are often 

available to hire at the destination. 

HOLIDAY CANCELLATION 

If we have to cancel a holiday this is always done well in advance of your 

departure date and a full refund is given. 

Due to the contract obligations and financial commitments we have with hotels 

if you have to cancel your holiday you will have to pay cancellation charges. 

These are based on the following scale depending on how close to departure 

we receive your cancellation. 

More than 42 days – Deposit only 

42-28 days – 30% 

27-14 days – 45% 

13-7 days – 60% 

Less than 7 days – 100% 

However, if you do cancel more than 42 days before your departure date we will 

transfer your deposit less a £10 per person administration fee to another holiday 

currently available. 

We do advise you to take out travel insurance to cover any of your loses.
