A Short Break in Bruges

Anonymous

“Excellent visits itinerary with really knowledgeable guides made this short break a very memorable one.

Flanders & The Somme

Mrs M Standing

“The whole experience of the battlefields and that the tour manager was excellent on the history of the war added to the experience..

Avignon & the Flavour of Provence

Mrs J Benson

“Lovely holiday spoilt a bit by very hot weather 43drgrees.

Catalonia & Little Trains of the Pyrenees

Mr J Prosser

“Problems with hotel at start of holiday

Dordogne & Lot

Mr J Ormerod

“Overall the holiday was extremely good, well organised with an excellent leader. The only criticism was that the final day, a Monday, was a free day in Souillac. Souillac is a small place with very little to do especially on a Monday when nearly everything is closed all day.

Floralia Spring Flower Show & Keukenhof Gardens

Mr J Cook

“The trip to Delft was so disappointing. Not enough time to see this town. The walk from the coach park took such a chunk of our visiting time. Although the coach was not allowed ( seemingly only if you held a German international driving plate ). Both my wife and I were very greatly disappointed with the hotel room. No air conditioning. British station on TV not accessible. A bathroom that did not accommodate the size of an adult. Neither of us are grossly overweight but found using the bathroom extremely depressing inconvenient and bordering on claustrophobic. The toppers on our beds kept moving. To get into and out of one of our beds it was necessary to shuffle sideways. Noise not only of local building works but also in the hotel definitely interrupted my wife's sleep. Insufficient storage space. 5 coat hangers and only open shelving - no drawers. For one night ok but not for 4 nights for two people. No safe in our room as we had believed - only one in reception. Julie,our tour guide was excellent.

Languedoc & Carcassonne

Mr A Bender

“Wonderful part of France....not many Brits about. Not as attractive scenery as Province but rugged landscape.

The Charming Dordogne

Mrs C Batter

“The destination, hotel and coach trips were brilliant, sadly for me the discomfort of putting cases on and off Eurostar did not impress me nor did the trek across Paris

The French Riviera

“Most enjoyable all round holiday
