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 or Burton Joyce, Nottingham.
We extend a warm welcome to join us on the tours we have planned for this year. Please take a look below and get in touch if you'd like any further information.

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.
