THE ONLY WAY to travel
See more on a coach-based holiday
SEE more sights, cover more miles – and have a lot more time to sit back and relax on holiday. That’s the triple promise of today’s coach-based tours. Organisers do all the hard work, looking at the best routes, connecting must-see attractions and pairing them with the most comfortable places to stay.
In the UK that means classic holidays like a 4-night Windermere and Lake District holiday with Shearings that takes in Keswick, Grasmere, Coniston (inspiration for Swallows & Amazons) and a cruise to Bownesson-Windermere. Your driver can also guide you to the tiny Sarah Nelson Gingerbread Shop for some very sweet treats.
TASTY TOURS
An equally tasty option is the company’s 4-night Torquay, Cruise and Cream Tea holiday with the chance to follow the Agatha Christie Mile and see sights that inspired the world’s best mysteries.
Other ideas include an 8-day St Ives, Scilly and Glorious Gardens tour. There’s a 5-day London’s Royal
Palaces holiday that includes Kensington Palace, the Tower of London, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. Or the popular Snowdon Mountain Railway and Portmeirion holiday.
FURTHER AFIELD
Coach-based holidays have always taken us to the best of Britain. This year Shearings also showcases more of the most famous sights of Europe.
The latest choices include a selection of three- or four-night Monet’s Garden and Versailles holidays that takes you to Giverny, where Monet lived and worked. You also get a full day to explore Versailles’ palace and gardens at your own pace.
Other holidays taking bookings now take guests to the glamour of the French and Italian Rivieras, to wine country on the Rhine, to the Italian Lakes, Spanish beaches and Austrian Aus Alps. If it’s towns and cities you want there are coachbased holidays to historic Bruges, to Barcelona, lovely Dubrovnik and more.
Whichever holiday you choose, friendly drivers ensure you never miss a thing. From reclining seats and reading lights to air conditioning, arm and foot rests, lots of little details make Shearings’ journeys more comfortable. You can expect a loo on board and many coaches even offer hot drinks.
Fans say coach-based holidays are the perfect way to see and relax more. So let your driver and tour team take the strain this year. Fantastic, friendly and flight-free holidays await.
