Destinations we Visit
Below are some of our favourite residential destinations, please note our services are bespoke so we can organise a trip to any destination you may desire.
York – the medieval cathedral city with Roman origins and Viking occupation. Painted with grand Georgian & Victorian architecture, it is the home to the largest Gothic church north of the Alps, the York Minster.
London – One of the world’s greatest capital cities, London boasts stunning architecture, historical landmarks and world-class museums. It is a vibrant multi-cultural city steeped in tradition and royal heritage.
Winchester – previously the ‘Westminster’ of Anglo-Saxon England, burial place of King Alfred the Great. Described as one of the leading archaeological cities of the world and home to some of the greatest medieval buildings in Europe.
Belfast – The extensive history of Belfast highlights its significant contribution to Britain’s industrial revolution, particularly as a centre for linen production and, more notably, as a prominent shipbuilding hub. This rich historical narrative is complemented by its more contemporary experiences of conflict and subsequent resolution. Today, Belfast stands as a modern and dynamic city, yet it offers numerous opportunities to delve into its historical heritage at every corner.
Paris – For over 300 years being one of the world’s major centres for fashion, finance, arts and culture. The French Capital is the most visited city in the world – home to the beauty of the Norte Dame, Eiffel Tower and River Seine. A visit to Paris is incomplete without the excitement of a trip to Disneyland.
Ypres – providing an opportunity to deepen your understanding of living through the WW1. It is surrounded by the Ypres Salient battlefields which are now home to many cemeteries, memorials and war museums. Famous for the location of the Menin Gate War Memorial and close by to the largest Commonwealth War Cemetery – Tyne Cot.

We hold Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and all of our transport, activity and accommodation providers have PLI & risk assessment measures in place which are routinely checked.

Once you have requested a quote, we will likely seek further information to provide you with an accurate estimate. This is a guide price that we estimate. Approximately 18 weeks before travel, we will issue you with a deposit invoice which is due 12 weeks before your departure date. We will then request your final numbers and issue you with a final balance invoice which is due 6 weeks before travel. If your numbers go down, the price may increase per head, equally if your numbers go up, we may be able to lower your price per head. Although, please try and give us accurate numbers as we need to book number specific providers such as coach hire & accommodation.
We are not currently able to offer independent travel insurance. There are many different travel insurance policies available, and you are required to make your own arrangements. We do ask that you check the cover carefully to ensure that it meets your needs and provide us with details of your insurer and policy.
All of our preferred operator’s coaches (Wight Coaches) come with belted seats, toilets, microphones & media systems and air conditioning as standard. We can arrange for you to view the coach depending on their availability.
We understand that circumstances change and sometimes you may need to cancel your booking with us. Although, in an ideal world we’d like to offer you a 100% refund regardless of cancellation notice, it would be financially unsustainable to do so due to the commitments we would have made with booking items such as coach hire and attraction tickets etc. Therefore, please find below the cancellation charges should you need to cancel your booking with us.
