Since re-launching Leisuretime by Toureasy in 2022, we have focused on building our increasingly popular UK programme of day trips, short breaks and holidays. Recently, though, more and more of you have been asking us about a return to a more extensive range of holidays to both Europe and Ireland - and this brochure is our answer…
Over the last few months, we have pulled out all the stops to create a holiday programme for 2024/2025 that we hope you will love. Unsurprisingly, this means we have chosen to focus on the destinations and types of holidays that you have been asking for and we really hope that we have got it right. In deciding which trips to offer you, we have created holidays that:
Take you to destinations that we know you have been asking us for.
Feature hotels in great locations that really ‘work’ for your holiday itinerary.
Deliver a fabulous overall holiday experience, often through great added value extras and inclusions.
Needless to say, we have also made sure that all our European and Irish holidays come with our usual great value price tag, backed up by our Leisuretime Price Promise*, so that you can be confident that you can’t buy better elsewhere.
What’s more, we’re also offering the holidays in this brochure at exclusive Early Bird prices, so if you fancy coming with us on any of these trips, make sure you get in early! There are a limited number of seats available at these prices on each holiday - and when they’re gone, they’re gone…
So, thank you to everyone who has helped us put this new holiday programme together and we hope you enjoy it. Bon voyage!
All of our European and Irish holidays pick up from the following convenient joining points. Pick-up Points
• Swansea • Neath • Port Talbot • Newport • Bridgend Sarn • Cardiff (multiple)
In addition, our European holidays also pick up from Magor and Bristol Aztec (M4/M5).
Our coach joining points are carefully chosen to make sure that you have a convenient pick-up point NEAR YOU! And don’t forget that we GO DIRECT, for the quickest, easiest and smoothest journey to your destination... and back home again.
‘Don’t waste your holiday time, GO DIRECT with Leisuretime!’

Enjoy the very best that Dublin has to offer! Location, location, location - that is all you need to know about this wonderful long weekend to the magical city of Dublin. You’ll stay at a fabulous 4* hotel on O’Connell Street, right in the heart of Dublin and an easy walk to legendary Temple Bar and so many of Dublin’s other fascinating attractions!
Dublin, a city that’s as intimate as a village and as friendly as an Irish pub. Framed by mountains, centred on a river and edged by a beautiful bay, the city’s streets and alleys are filled with vibrant art and historic buildings, hip cafés and traditional “old man” pubs, as Dubliners call them.
Walk the streets and you’ll feel the energy of over 1,000 years of history, as echoes of the Vikings mix with buzzing boutiques, cobbled streets reverberate with the sounds of buskers, and 18th century parks play host to festivals, film and food markets. Unsurprisingly perhaps, Dublin is a resoundingly social place, packed with culture, creativity and craic (fun). You’ll see it in the busy pubs, in the music and in the chat.
