GB TOURS Why book with GB TOURS? There’s plenty of other coach holidays to choose from…

Carefully planned, interesting itineraries

So Don’t Delay - Book Today!

Coach holidays are not just about getting there and back. An interesting, well-planned itinerary will make your break so much more enjoyable. You’ll enjoy free excursions and sometimes interesting stops on route, included on almost all of your short breaks and holidays. Of course if you want to stay behind and ‘do your own thing’ that's fine, too.

94% of our trips completely book-up, so don’t think about it too long - even if you’re not quite sure. It’s best to hold your places for a few days while you speak to your partner or friends - there’s no obligation.

“Marvellous Value for Money”

Financial Security

That must be the most frequent comment we hear from our customers. As we only sell direct - not through travel agents - we don’t have commission to pay and in addition to this we work very closely with our accommodation and transport suppliers to keep prices down and yearly price increases as small as possible. We are constantly seeking out hotels of a certain level of quality which have still managed to keep their prices that bit lower than others in the same resort. As a result, our holidays - often the same holidays are usually quite a bit cheaper than other coach operators - do compare, and see what we mean!

The Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited (ABTOT) provides financial protection under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 for GB Tours, and in the event of their insolvency, protection is provided for the following: 1. non-flight packages commencing in and returning to the UK; 2. non-flight packages commencing and returning to a country other than the UK; and 3. flight inclusive packages that commence outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland, which are sold to customers outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland.

1, 2 and 3 provides for a refund in the event you have not yet travelled. 1 and 3 provides for repatriation.

Please note that bookings made outside the UK and Republic of Ireland are only protected by ABTOT when purchased directly with GB Tours. Please note that accommodation only (self drive) bookings and day trips are not covered via the Bond.

Good, informed advice and service Our Reservations Team care more that you book something you will enjoy than if you book at all. At least one of the team will have been on the tour - and they will be more than willing to tell you about it (any warts an’ all) so you can make a more informed choice. We want you to choose a break that meets your expectations and your taste - only that way will you keep coming back for more - as so many of you have for the last 27 years!

Sensible pick-ups and direct routes Our research shows that passengers prefer a direct coach service to their destination, so we do not use feeder coaches. There’s no swapping luggage from one coach to another and because we only have a limited amount of joining points you won’t spend half your journey time visiting endless pickup points.

Send us your holiday snaps!

We're looking for great holiday snaps from your GB trips away with us to put on our new brochure covers this year.
