HOLIDAY INFOrMATION

You will notice this symbol featuring in our brochure

Shared Tours with Kirbys Coaches

Following the travel constraints imposed through the Pandemic, we have noted a significant increase in demand to provide an even wider range of UK and Continental holidays. In seeking to meet this requirement, for some of our 2022 holidays we have been working behind the scenes with Kirbys Coaches (based in Rayleigh Essex), to look at options for us both to widen our mutual range of UK and Continental Holidays, giving you more choice plus some new and exciting destinations to visit. Why Kirbys? Well, they are a family-run business, with a heritage dating back almost 70 years in the provision of coaching experiences, who like ourselves put delivery of great customer experiences at the core of what they do. They have 5 family members actively involved within the company, from driving coaches to working in administration. Having worked closely with them in recent years we know our exacting standards are met by Kirbys. Throughout this brochure we have marked the tours which we are sharing with this symbol. The booking process for our shared holidays will be the same as usual, and you will be booking with your trusted Galloway team who will continue to provide a full support and advisory service. We will still be o8ering home pick-ups on all tours with the symbol and you can also add insurance if needed too. With these Holidays being o8ered by both companies, if one of these trips appeals we do encourage you to book early to avoid disappointment. We are still working closely with Woods of Bogner Regis and you will see our regular shared tour symbol on some of our European holidays. These will operate with Woods in the same way as they have over the past few years.
