Coach Trips & Tours

Archive for the ‘Coach Holidays’ Category

One of the best and most enjoyable ways to see the world is by coach tour. Being driven from one location to the next is a convenient and relaxing way to see some of the finest points of interest, areas of outstanding beauty and largest cities and towns. There are an infinite number of places to visit, and types of tour available.
The Stratford, Oxford and Cotswolds Inclusive offer a fantastic trip through the British countryside, to see the sights of our most famous cities, and to soak up the history and rich heritage of this area of historical importance. Some of our most noted writers, poets and authors spent their lives beneath Oxfords dreamy spires, and Stratford Upon Avon will be forever remembered by any aspiring actor or playwright.
On each of the five day away, a trip is planned to make the most of each location, with the beautiful Bourton on the Water, and the market at Stow on the Wold making a lovely day out. Visit Shakespeares hometown, walk in his footsteps, then travel to another historical city and explore the majestic city of Oxford, with its amazing buildings steeped in university history. Lichfield is another interesting day out, with its nooks and crannies that date back to medieval times.
For the tour, our base is the welcoming Coventry Hill hotel, in Allesley. This is an ideal base and all passengers will have their own room, and four nights dinner, bed and breakfast.

Take a look through our scenic and touring holidays and see what takes your fancy! There really is something for everyone, with many different countries, areas and events visited. You can be assured that your tour guide will be knowledgeable and able to advise all passengers of the best sights along the way.

Plenty of coach tours take you abroad, and The Three Countries Explorer is one of the easiest ways of seeing The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany in one week.
Enjoy trips to Monschau, Maastricht and the three countries viewpoint, then take a cruise downriver to Liege. Our hotel in this case is the Best Western Walram Hotel in Valkenburg, where passengers are treated to a continental breakfast as well as dinner for three nights. This tour has some of the best scenery available, and is a great opportunity to see a great variety of countryside, with many different areas travelled. The outward and homeward journeys provide another experience, with overnight stays aboard P&O’s North Sea Ferries, again with dinner and breakfast.

We are always talking travel here at coach-trips.org but in a recent conversation we debated the most important aspect of a coach holiday.  There was a lot of debate about destinations but the main thing that most people thought was most important was the comfort of the coach itself.  We came up with a list of things that are important to comfort.

In a previous article the change in travel behaviour was noted, the shift in the choice of destination from western to central and Eastern Europe.  It was explained that this change had come about due to the new found desire for more original travel destinations, for a greater diversity in travel and the opportunity to see areas of Europe that remain relatively untouched.

This change in travel behaviour actually goes hand in hand with a change in the way people would like to travel.  The main transport options are of course flights for the cash rich time poor clientele, rail for those on a tight timeline and then of course there are the coach travellers, those tourists for whom the journey is the holiday and the stops offs are a welcome bonus.

Do not put it off any longer – that is how a lot of people feel about visiting Ireland.  So many people have taken the short trip across the water and tell the tales of friendly, happy pubs, great music and off course the best Guinness anywhere.  There are a number of coach trips available offering very different ways of experiencing the Emerald Isle.

There are many destinations in Europe that will appeal to different people with different expectations for their chosen holiday.  Some of the most economical holidays are all inclusive breaks – where food and drink are included in the package.  It is important to note however that some all-inclusive deals only include drinks at certain times, but most ensure unlimited drinks at meal times.

If you have a relative that is really difficult to choose a gift for why not think of a coach trip gift voucher.  It is a great idea and the receivers can use their vouchers against a trip from an extensive list of destinations.  Just after the Christmas period people tend to start thinking about a holiday after all the hustle and bustle and so a gift voucher is ideal.

There are lots of reasons to choose a coach holiday (see earlier post) but there is something that is very different in terms of holidaying by coach and that is the forming of friendship and camaraderie with fellow travellers.  Coach holidays are great for all – including families, couples and off course are ideal for independent travellers.

Autumn is a great time to go away simply because there are so many wonderful colours to see!  Even if your journey is restricted to main roads, then you will still find a beautiful array of red, gold, amber and bronze.  If our seasons were royal ceremonies, then autumn would have to be the ‘Trooping of the Colour’.

Annual coach trips to the seaside are a massive part of the Great British culture.  A stroll along the prom,  some vinegar-soaked fish and chips, stripy deckchairs and a visit to the 2p pushers; these are all intertwined with our way of life! Read the rest of this entry »
