Christmas at the kees

My husband and I have never been on a bus tour before and because my husband brian had a stroke with mobility issues we thought this would be an ideal hotel to stay in. I love swimming but,couldn’t find the pool asked at reception to be told it hadn’t been opened since before covid. My issue is that leisure facilities are on the brochure which is clearly wrong. We also had to sit at the table and not eat at any other until the end of the hotel stay the food really was awful and for me a vegeterian they had to give me the hotel menu as the tour menu had nothing on it on the last evening I had curry simply delicious so I would love to know from you’re long time in this business £1150 is way to high a price for this sort of hotel.Maureen Gillespie 15/1/2024

Big let down in the food We went to the Rhine trip to Boppard, which was a great experience until we got to the hotel. Dinner was an endurance test. First night we were asked to come to dinner at 7pm, all attend on time, then we waited for one and a half hours to be served pork belly. [no other options available] second night only one hour wait this time, food again was issue, four of the guests left without eating. Next night we decided to give it a miss and had a beautiful dinner in the town,but thought that perhaps on the last night we would try again, this was our mistake, it was over a hundred degrees out side and we were served consume soup no salads available unless you ordered in advance, but you never received the menu in advance.the menu was never shown until you attended for dinner. Breakfast was great, we were also told on the last day that you could get tea in the afternoon at 2pm, no kettle or cups in the rooms to make a drink..

My Wife and I went on the Giles Cumbrian Lake…

My Wife and I went on the Cumbrian Lake District and Lancashire coach tour 5 Sept - 9th Sept. The hotel was 4 Star, Food was Good and overall very comfortable. We would add that the driver - Stacey went out of his way to ensure a very professional service was achieved. He ensured that food was served promptly and communicated back to the hotel on any matters of customer complaint. We had travelled over from N.Ireland and he ensured that a private table was secured for us and a sister who was visiting one night. Other people had been on previous Coach tours and highly valued them. The Coach was very Modern and the driving was excellent. A thanks to Stacey the coach driver, a real asset to the company.

Our small groups guarantee Never more than 26 guests per tour

We always keep our tour group sizes small. That's because we want every guest to get the comfort, space and service they deserve. Although many other companies squeeze in groups of up to 50, even the largest of our tour packages are strictly limited to just 26 guests. That leaves empty seats on the coaches. So why do we limit our tours to such small group sizes? Here are six reasons.

Superior Service

Guests consistently list our small group sizes as a top reason why they would book with us again. See our reviews...

More focus on you

With a smaller group, our tour guides have more time to get to know you and your interests.

We deliberately leave empty seats on our coaches, so you can relax and spread out.

Experience each attraction up-close and personal, with more time to ask questions and see what interests you.

Speedier Check-Ins

Compared with many of our rivals, our smaller group sizes make checking in and out of the hotels a breeze.

More Relaxed Pace

Experience Ireland at your own pace. No rushing to keep up and no waiting around for large groups to assemble.

Optional visit to Maeshowe (Orkney Islands)

Maeshowe is a 5,000 year old burial mound, with an underground chamber (room) in the centre of the mound. To get inside the mound you have to bend down (to half your size) and shuffle along a low, narrow corridor (about 5 or 6 metres long). Once inside the chamber (room) you can stand up. You go in with a guide, and only about 18 people at a time can go in. It’s a bit like going inside one of the pyramids, in Egypt. It costs about £8.50 per person to go on this guided tour. They can only take a limited number of people each day, so it’s quite difficult to get booked in. We have to book people in, a fair bit in advance. So, if you book on our tour, and would like to do the optional visit to Maeshowe burial mound, please let John Howie know at least 2 months in advance, and he will try to get you booked in.
