What
Makes This Tour Your Best Choice?
MORE
LEGROOM - MORE COMFORT
YOUR PERSONAL SPACE IS PRECIOUS
Many
people think of a coach tour as sitting cramped up on a bus for
hours on end with little room to stretch your legs in comfort. When
it comes to those important extra inches, this tour goes the extra
mile. This is a Premium Class experience from start to finish, so
it’s not surprising that the well-being of our clients is
paramount. The smaller group size of just 40 guests allows the luxury
touring motor coaches to be reconfigure with fewer seats - giving
your legs the extra space they deserve.
