Abbaye de Fontevraud

Meals & Drinks

A good breakfast is always included to help you start the day. We also include a three-course dinner on most evenings . Where we stay two nights in a hotel then dinner will be included on the first evening, leaving you free to dine at your leisure on the second evening, although we do offer recommendations in the tour book. When the hotel is rural and there is nowhere else nearby to dine, we shall include dinners.

Half a bottle of wine per person is included with each dinner. Please let us know when booking if you don’t drink wine so we can make alternative arrangements.

Tour Pack

Tour Pack

Each car is given one of our famed, very comprehensive Tour Books with easy-to-follow, narrative-style directions. We also include route maps, hotel details, and lots of information on everything to do, see and visit each day. The tour book also has lots of useful and interesting information about the country or region you’re visiting. All cars on our escorted tours will be given a good, clear and detailed road atlas showing the areas you’re travelling through. Tour packs also include a rally plate, pen & highlighter, and window sticker. Each tour pack will come in a clear plastic zip folder to keep it dry and secure – ideal for open cars in particular. On some longer tours we also give branded clothing or bags.

Classic Travelling Swiss Alps Tour

Accommodation

For your comfort and enjoyment we carefully hand-pick quality, luxury, 4-5-star-style boutique hotels with style, charm, atmosphere and personality. Hotels are usually in the local style and always have suitable parking for your classic, vintage or sports car, which is occasionally undercover or in a garage. Any parking charges are always included within the tour price. All taxes, resort fees and applicable gratuities are also included.

Where applicable/necessary the ferry crossing (or Eurotunnel/Le Shuttle) to from the UK to continental Europe will be included with the tour. The exception to this is where ferries cannot be pre-booked (eg across fjords in Norway, chain ferries across small waterways etc).

We often include visits on our tours – museums, car collections (private and public), historic buildings/stately homes, sailing trips, vineyard tours, concerts, private lunches, private city guided tours etc. The visits vary with each tour and are detailed in the itinerary.

Tour Mechanic

Our experienced and capable mechanic accompanies most of our international tours. He will carry a comprehensive set of tools and equipment and he is usually able to keep cars on the road and completing the tour. However, we also ask that everyone has full insurance and breakdown cover in case of repatriation or failures to proceed.
