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.
