I did consider other operators before settling on this one for a short break in the Cotswolds. Their tour was well paced and the guide took time to explain the history of each village without rushing. Bookings are handled promptly and any questions are answered courteously. I was grateful for the care they took with my wheelchair on the uneven paths.

The hotel itself was perfectly pleasant but the room was smaller than the photos on the booking page suggested. When I raised it, the reply took three days to arrive and was rather brief. The location was good and the staff were courteous throughout.

The train tickets came through the app the day after booking, which was handy. The hotel was a lovely old place near the Minster and the staff remembered us from the last time. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and we'll be booking the spring one too.
Read moreBooked the Brighton day trip for my partner's birthday and the booking process was quick and clear. The coach left on time and the driver was cheerful the whole way. The pier stop was only about forty minutes, which felt a bit short for what they had planned. Still a nice day out for the money.
I'd already priced up doing the Scotland trip by booking the train and hotels separately, and this came out a fair bit cheaper and saved me an evening of tabs. The itinerary they put together made sense for the route. My only gripe is the confirmation email took a day to arrive and I had to chase it. Otherwise solid.
The first thing I noticed was how many options came up for the Peak District trip, which made it easy to compare. Booked in a few minutes on my phone. Coach did turn up twenty minutes late on the day though, nobody told us why.
The rooms at the Bristol stay were the detail I remember most, really clean with a proper bath. Booking through the site was easy and I had the confirmation within a minute. The wifi was painfully slow though and I couldn't do a video call for work. Rest of the trip was great.
