WELCOME

A warm welcome to Reg’s Coaches 2018 day trip brochure. Following a highly successful season last year, we are delighted to offer another exciting range of destinations for this coming year.

Last year we revamped our day trip programme and made it a much leaner schedule of events and have continued with this theme this year as it has proved very popular with our customers. Having trimmed up the total number of trips, we have once again kept some of the much favoured ones and added a few new ones into the mix.

During 2018, we aim to launch the Reg’s Coaches Travel Club; a membership based club providing special offers, prize draws and the opportunity to be the fi rst to hear of upcoming trips. We are also planning on running a series of Family Days Out during school holidays for those looking for things to do with the whole family. Please keep an eye on our website and add your name to our mailing list to be notifi ed of both these events as they become live.

Once again, all of our trips have been carefully chosen with you, the customer in mind and offer excellent value for money. All of our prices include Entrance Fees, unless stated otherwise, to make it more convenient for you and to save you having to worry about extra cost on the day.

Reg’s Coaches vast experience in group travel over the past 56 years has enabled us to perfect our quality of service so that you are not just a passenger….but a guest of ours. Our drivers will nurture, chauffeur you, look after you and most of all, be there for you.

Myself and my team, Gareth, Gill & Nicky look forward to welcoming you onboard in 2018.
