We hope that you will find it informative. As one of the largest coach tour operators in the country we have accommodated and transported over 44,000 holidaymakers in our own fleet of luxury, modern executive coaches to the Costa Brava and Costa Dorada during 2007. With our many years of experience and strong buying power in Spain we are able to pass on savings to our customers and offer value-for money holidays. Pound for pound we are the cheapest around without those hidden extras. We will not be beaten on price and wish all our clients, old and new, a great holiday in 2008! WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE PRICE ● Express Coach travel to and from your destination and Ferris pick up point. ● Ferry crossing/Le Shuttle Dover/Folkestone to Calais. During 2005 we had to use Le Shuttle to France more often than in previous years. We understand that this caused concern for some clients. For 2007 we expect to use ferry crossings on each journey, but in some unavoidable circumstances we may have to use Le Shuttle. ● All road and toll taxes. ● Hotel/Apartment accommodation. ● Meals (hotels only) as shown in the hotel description. Please note that on arrival the first meal will be evening dinner and on departure - breakfast. For Bed and Breakfast only, the first meal will be the following day. “Driving Forward!” Continuing to offer the best in service and price, enabling you to enjoy a new level of luxury for our continental holidays.
