Welcome to our Europe & Ireland 2024 Brochure I hope you enjoy reviewing our range of Continental and Irish tours for 2024. We have seen continental travel bounce back during 2022 and I hope the range here, inspires you to put a wheel back in the water and take customers to enjoy the amazing range of experiences on the continent. We remain committed to providing you with wonderful holidays by coach, no matter the twists and turns on the way, putting you and your customers at the heart of everything we do. If you would like to find out more about any of the products in this brochure, our Sales and Contracting teams are on hand and will be delighted to assist you.
Things to remember… Pricing We have decided to produce this brochure with no prices. Our Account Managers can discuss sea crossings, overnights and other ad hoc factors, when you request a quote, to tailor make them to your requirements. Suggested Itinerary This means that we are providing you with ideas for a tour that we would be happy to arrange for you if you wish. The Sales Team can provide you with a revised quotation price, based on any tour ideas that you feel would best suit your customer base. We would then arrange guided tours, purchase of tickets and payment of entrance fees on your behalf. Additional Hotels We only have room in the brochure to feature some of our hotels. We have reserved space at many more. Please give our Sales Team a call. Overnight Hotels We understand that a successful tour is not just about the mainstay and that the hotels your passengers stay at along the way are a very important start and end to the tour. We have a great selection of hotels in excellent locations to suit all tastes and budgets. If you would like overnights adding to any of your tours, please give our Sales Team a call. Low Emissions Zones & Access Regulation New zones are regularly being introduced into towns and cities across Europe so please check before costing and operating your tour. If you are touring in Italy, you need to be aware of the restrictions that exist entering towns and cities. These can vary considerably across the country. ZTLs (Zona Traffico Limitato) are zones which restrict entry and circulation at certain times and affect all vehicles including local ones. In order to avoid unexpected fines, you need to get a permit ahead of crossing a ZTL. Signage for these zones is not always clear, so we recommend you find out ahead of travel if you are likely to cross them. Visit: https://urbanaccessregulations.eu/countries-mainmenu-147/italy-mainmenu-81 For information about driving regulations, low emission zones and access regulations across Europe visit: https://urbanaccessregulations.eu/countries-mainmenu-147 We will not be held liable for any penalties, tickets or charges that result from entry into towns and cities with low emission zones and/or access regulations. Drivers Hours EU Regulation 561/2006 is transcribed into UK law and still applies. Our itineraries are created with drivers’ regulations in mind and we look to comply with daily driving, break and rest requirements.
