For many years now we have been running escorted group tours led by tour escort, John Dawn. John is well-known in the area and escorts three or four group trips every year, which always include complimentary coach travel. Our group travel tours start and finish in Gedling, Nottingham.
Please see our latest group holiday below, and feel free to get in touch if you'd like any further information.
Group holiday to Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife (November 2026)
Escorted by John Dawn and including coach travel from Gedling to East Midlands airport. Staying for one week at the 4-star Melia Costa Atlantis Hotel, located on the seafront with stunning sea views. Shops, restaurants and bars are just a few minutes level walk away. The hotel has an outdoor pool, spa, buffet restaurant and a bar leading out onto a terraced area. We have chosen front sea view rooms as the preferred option.
Puerto de la Cruz is a charming historic town with very much a colonial feel. The colourful fishing district is adorned with street art and the whole area is lush with flora and fauna. The Botanic Gardens are a must, with over 500 plants from all over the tropics. Enjoy meandering among the hibiscus, bougainvillea, banana, grapefruit and lemon trees.
The Orchid Garden (Sitio Litre) is the oldest surviving garden in Tenerife. Artwork by Marianne North, the well known botanical painter, is placed around the garden, demonstrating it is practically the same as it was 135 years ago. Agathe Christie was so inspired when visiting this garden, she wrote the novel “The mysterious Mr Quinn” basing the plot in Puerto de la Cruz.
We are planning an optional day excursion at additional cost to Teide National Park: a grand tour to the north of Tenerife with spectacular mountain views, visiting Garachio, a locality once partly damaged by volcanic eruption. After lunch we will return via Masca, a place filled with impressive and dramatic landscapes.
The cost per person sharing a double or twin room with front sea view is £1,325. Rooms for sole occupancy are available without sea view from £1,325 and with sea view from £1,725. Breakfast and dinner are included in the cost.
Date: 11th Nov 2026
Price: One week from £1,325 per person

Why choose an escorted group tour?
Escorted group holidays are perfect for solo travellers who are looking to see the world, but would prefer not to travel alone. Likewise, we find that a lot of couples enjoy the social aspect of group travel and we know of a few customers who have made friends for life!
Travelling with a group is a great way of getting to see parts of the world that you may feel unsure about travelling to by yourself, for example if you don't speak the language. All of the details are taken care of for you; with a tour escort by your side all of your travel arrangements and excursions are planned in advance so you can sit back and enjoy the trip. And you never know what hidden gems you might come across when you have a tour escort's insider knowledge!
You can spend as much (or as little) time with your group as you choose because group travel allows you to participate in scheduled excursions if you wish, while still giving you free time to explore on your own.
