Great Escapes for Discerning Drivers

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.

Each of our Group Tours, and some Club Tours, are escorted by friendly, knowledgeable and experienced Tour Directors to ensure everything goes to plan, and your trip is hassle-free and great fun.

Where applicable/necessary the ferry crossing or LeShuttle 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.

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.
