2020 Coach Holidays & Short Breaks

www.globeholidays.co.uk Harrogate: 01423 321246

A warm welcome to Globe Holidays selection of Coach Holidays & Short Breaks for 2020 We are delighted to be entering into 2020 with renewed enthusiasm, here at Globe we always pride ourselves on delivering an affordable yet varied selection of destinations and breaks, 2020 will be no different; be it your first time travelling with us or if you are one of our many returning travellers we are certain you will find something to suit your holiday needs.

Our 2020 brochure features many new and exciting destinations as well as all of your old favourites, so whether it be a one night break to London or a dual centre holiday to Torquay and Bournemouth we are confident that there will be something for you.

Who are we?

A familiar name in South Yorkshire for over 66 years we have two travel centres, one in Barnsley and the other in Bradford.

As a family run business we strive to offer that personal touch, whilst respecting that many of you choose to have a break because you simply want to get away from it all and do your own thing, our travel centre staff have a combined experience of over 130 years within the industry and have produced individual itineraries for each holiday, details are available within the brochure itself however should you require further information on any of the trips please feel free to ask.

Our coaches We are delighted to have added two brand new 2019 VanHool touring coaches to our fleet this year, for those of you whom travelled towards the latter part of the season you will no doubt have experienced these; with rear floor mounted W/C, low level seating and UBS sockets at every seat the coaches feel lighter and airier, many of you have commented that they are by far the most ‘open’ coaches you have travelled upon, for your added comfort we have for the 2020 season decided to reduce the number of seats from 57 to 53, thus allowing you all that little bit extra leg room – luxury travel without compromise.

Our drivers Our team of professional tour drivers are always on hand to assist with any requirements you may have (within reason) and for many of our regular travellers you will be familiar with the delights of both Alex & Rob, for 2020 with the expansion of our programme we will be introducing more names to the mix, Andy, Martin & Chris are already waiting in the wings to deliver the same customer experience, we are sure you will not be disappointed in our choices – it is after all the driver that makes the tour.

Single rooms As you look though the brochure you will note that all prices per person based on two people sharing a double or twin room, as with many operators we can never obtain as many single rooms as we would like, and whilst we strive to make it as fair as possible to passengers when travelling alone certain hotels may apply a supplement, as a company we do not profit on this element and simply pass on to yourselves the cost levied by the hotels, wherever

2

possible we will try our best to accommodate with no supplement, however at the time of booking if no single rooms are available we will confirm the additional cost at point of booking – there are no hidden extras, we will be transparent with you. There may also be occasions whereby the hotel offer you the option of a ‘double room for sole occupancy’ – this guarantees you a double room for the supplement.

Door-to-door pick up service Our home pick up service has proved very popular in 2019 with many of you taking us up on this option. From April onwards all Holidays and Short Breaks of 3 days or more will include a home pick up service, this is included within the price of your holiday, should however you wish to make your own arrangements you are welcome to join us at any of our four pick up points at a reduction of £15.00 per person from the price, please see page 3 for pick up areas and departure points.

Luggage A medium sized suitcase weighing no more than 15kg per person is permitted on all tours; please ensure that you adhere to this – we reserve the right to charge an additional supplement should you have oversized baggage and the ‘home-pick-up’ vehicle not be able to accommodate additional baggage.

Wheelchairs, walkers & motorised scooters Folding manual wheelchairs and walking frames are accepted free of charge, should you wish to bring either with you please notify us at the time of booking so we can inform the driver. We have limited capacity to transport motorised scooters, we do accept them however they must be able to be broken down and fit into the boot of a car, we also request that where possible you have an able bodied travel companion to assist with the loading and off loading on the coach; when booking a charge of £10.00 will be applied should you wish to bring one with you, this simply covers the additional cost of the home pick up vehicle needed.

Special occasions whilst away If you, or a travelling companion are celebrating a Birthday or Anniversary whilst away please be sure to tell us at time of booking, we will arrange a special something for you on the day.

Included excursions At the time of booking you will be notified of what is included in the holiday, all excursions and admissions where applicable are included in the price – the price advertised is what you pay, there are no additions. A number of our holidays operate on what we call a ‘Take-and-Fetch’ basis, our driver will take you to the hotel, get you settled in and then be on his way, leaving you time to explore the destination at your leisure, on the day of return we will collect you from the hotel and return you home, certain times may vary from resort to resort, you will be notified 4 weeks prior to departure of the full details.
