A good way to holiday

A large number of our holidays take place amid Europe’s quieter corners, where other visitors tend to be in short supply. Benefits include the chance to enjoy unspoiled scenery; to visit villages unchanged by the passing of time; to gain insights into traditional local culture; and to try authentic – and delicious – regional cuisine.

Being self-guided, our itineraries are built around you and your wishes and promise a truly individual holiday experience. We can organise private transfers from the airport instead of using public transport if that’s what you would prefer, and it’s down to you to choose who you holiday with – travel solo, as a couple or with a small number of friends or family.

Because we handle each booking individually, you can, for the vast majority of our itineraries, choose the travel method that best suits you. So, if you’d like to make the journey from home to holiday by car – perhaps to one of our destinations in France, Germany or Switzerland – we can arrange the Channel crossing and, for trips involving multiple hotels, organise a transfer back to the first to collect your car.

As well as our holidays on the continent, we offer a good range of 4- and 6-night UK walking breaks – perfect for exploring somewhere closer to home. The breaks span the length of the country: from the bucolic Scottish Borders to the chalk landscapes of the South Downs, via the towpaths and towering peaks of the Brecon Beacons and many other equally glorious corners.

Sustainable tourism has been at the heart of our business from the very start, and we take our responsibilities seriously. To this end, we almost exclusively use family-run hotels and taxi companies, and all our holidays offer the chance to support the local economy – be it by buying your lunch at a village bakery, or calling into a small winery for a tour and tasting.
