HOLIDAYS 2020 01763 848226 | The Garage, Barley, Royston, Hertfordshire SG8 8JA [email protected] | richmonds-coaches.co.uk WELCOME Welcome to our 2020 coach holiday brochure. Once again we have increased the range of tours on offer, returning to favourite hotels, and adding more new destinations. We strive to offer a tour with a carefully chosen hotel, known for its quality accommodation and cuisine. We are proud to invest in our coach touring fleet with new vehicles every year. Our coaches offer a high seating position for great views, are fully air- conditioned and come with individually adjustable seating with spacious leg room to allow you to enjoy the spectacular scenery in comfort. Wi-Fi and USB charging points are available on most of the coaches. Our holiday itineraries include a full programme of excursions on most days of your holiday, with all admissions included to the places we visit so there are no hidden costs. We have kept single supplements to a minimum, however there is always a high demand on single rooms, and once this allocation is sold further rooms may incur a higher supplement. We pick up from a range of local points as shown on the back cover, or you may prefer to add our home to home service for a small charge. We operate 2 main pick-up routes, so you will either join the main tour coach immediately, or have a short feeder service by taxi or coach to join the main coach. No long delays at motorway service stations! All of our holidays can be booked via our website at any time, or by telephone during our office hours (Monday to Friday 9am-5pm). A non-refundable deposit of £50 secures your booking with the balance due 6 weeks prior to departure. We hope you enjoy browsing our brochure and find something of interest, and we look forward to welcoming you aboard very soon!
