Coach Trips & Tours

Posts Tagged ‘Scotland’

One of the UK’s best destinations for a short break is London, the capital city. With lots to see and do, your time will be easily filled, with Madame Tussauds Waxworks, the Tower of London, various markets, shopping centres and sightseeing, The London Eye, and much more, whatever your interests are! Why not visit a museum or exhibit? Or have lunch in a famous restaurant?

With The London Spectacular coach holiday you can experience London whilst staying at an excellent hotel, the luxurious Britannnia International Hotel overlooking the water at Canary Wharf. With a heated indoor swimming pool and dinner, bed and breakfast included, our passengers are well looked after during their stay. Fill your time as you please, and enjoy whatever sights and experiences you like whilst in the capital.

At the opposite end of the UK is Edinburgh, another of our best destinations. The Edinburgh and The Royal Yacht Britannia is another luxury coach trip. Three days in Edinburgh allows for two nights dinner, bed and breakfast at the Jarvis hotel in Livingston, also featuring an indoor pool. Also to try is their steam room, sauna and leisure suite.

With the widespread shopping opportunities and plenty to do and see, Edinburgh rivals London with its range of activities! A big difference is the expanse of green space, from country footpaths to golf courses. Edinburgh has an advantage over London with its beautiful location. Take a walk up any hill and see how the city fits into the landscape.

Included in the Edinburgh and The Royal Yacht Britannia coach holiday is a visit to the Royal Yacht Britannia, a remarkable day out, with its royal deck tea room and rich history. This Yacht is permanently docked now and provides an attraction for locals and visitors alike. There will be plenty of time for doing your own thing in Edinburgh, and lots of interesting sights like the castle, camera obscura or distillery. Various visitors’ centres, shops and mills make Edinburgh a lovely place to explore. Try the local cafes and restaurants, either for traditional Scottish fare or your favourite meal.
Wherever you visit in the UK, plan your trip well beforehand. It is always worthwhile looking for attractions and events near your accommodation, and keeping something in mind for a rainy day! Think about your interests, and those of any travelling companion, to make sure that you will stay interested throughout your holiday. Travelling by coach will allow you to book and look forward to a trip without worrying about transport arrangements, fuel or hotel rooms.

Driving a long distance can be quite a challenge if you are not used to it.  One way round this problem is to share the driving with someone else, but if your partner has never got around to taking their test then this is not an option…  Many couples will get used to only one of them having a licence and they will just carry on in the same old manner.  This is fine, until you are planning a long trip!

Edinburgh is an amazing place to visit when you are travelling around on coach tours.  There are just so many different things to see and do there.  And if you choose the right time of year then you’ll get to see the massive Folk Festival as well.  It is an extremely cultured city which has a huge variety of restaurants, galleries, museums and parks.

But Edinburgh isn’t the only great destination in Scotland.  It all depends on what you want from your holiday.  There are plenty of shopping areas to visit, many castles to explore and some truly stunning landscapes to see.  In a lot of ways, Scotland has it all.

Whatever type of holiday you are planning, coach trips are an excellent way to travel.  They are comfortable, clean and air conditioned.  Most modern coaches will even have reclining seats fitted for passengers.

And that all means your journey will be a pleasant and relaxing one.
