Quality Holidays by Coach 2017 DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE Themed Holidays | Seaside Holidays | City Breaks | European Tours | Festive Holidays Holiday Programme Coach Tourism Coach Tour Operator (2016 Finalist) Professional of the Year Medium Fleet TRAVEL GROUP (2016 Finalist) (2016 Finalist) Quality Holidays by Coach 2017 DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE Themed Holidays | Seaside Holidays | City Breaks | European Tours | Festive Holidays Including Tours by Air, Rail, River & Cruise ABTA Number Y6278 ABTA Number P6893 Dear Valued Customer In this brochure you will find a selection of holidays primarily by coach but also some by Air, Cruise and Rail. We have always been dedicated to first class customer service and we can only achieve this by constantly striving to improve what we do and by listening to customer feedback. Speaking to our clients, we have found that increasingly they are asking for trips that “push the boundaries “ a little, enabling them to see more of the British Isles and Europe. Our themed holidays are becoming very popular and are carrying ever greater numbers of passengers. These holidays have been carefully designed, using 3 or 4 star hotels and offering achievable and well-constructed itineraries. City breaks offer more free time than ever in the city of your choice, so that you can explore at your leisure. In order to avoid constantly repeating the same venues for days out on our seaside breaks we have some “variations on a theme” which we are sure you will enjoy. As our holiday market is becoming “younger” in years we are delighted to include 2 holidays by air to popular destinations. This is a completely new venture for us and we hope this will cater for those clients who do not enjoy the long coach journeys to places like the Channel Islands and the heart of Europe. Encouraged by the success of our cruise to the Norwegian Fjords, we are pleased to be offering 3 Ocean Cruises and 2 River Cruises. You will also find a selection of dates where you can travel by Eurostar to enjoy city breaks in Lille and Brussels. After a number of years of operating both the Roberts Holidays and the Paul James Holidays brands, we have taken the decision to bring both brands together under the banner of Roberts Travel Group. ALL holidays in the brochure will offer free door to door pickups on holidays of 4 days or more within the designated pick up areas and will travel direct to destination with lunch stops, the only exception being those holidays which clearly state that there will be a pick up at St Margaret’s Bus Station, Leicester, en route to destination. Certainly, we are developing the scope of what we offer but We have raised the bar for ourselves and have felt confident what is unchanged is the same standard of customer care enough to take our product into the neighbouring cities of Derby and service on which we have built our reputation. The warm and Nottingham, offering a free pickup service from designated and friendly welcome when you visit the Travel Centre is still points. This move will in no way affect the excellent service that there, as is the genuine desire to ensure that you have a truly we have always offered to Leicester City, Leicester County and memorable experience on all of our holidays.
