Indulge your need for relaxation, cultural immersion, or just a little bit of sunshine. It’s time to get away on a short, but much-needed break.
Whether you can’t get the time off work, or your budget doesn't quite allow for a longer, more extravagant holiday, a short break can be the ticket to much-needed rest and relaxation, or that dose of inspiration and culture that you have been craving. A brief holiday, weekend escape, or city break, can be exactly what you need to clear your head and have a healthy break from your hometown. After all, we all do get a little tired of the same old surroundings.
Whether you fancy touring the castles close to home on a UK short break or would like to catch a little bit of sunshine in a Mediterranean location, we have a number of highly enjoyable escorted tours to help you make the most of your long weekend. When Europe is just around the corner, it’s hard to resist a quick getaway. In just a matter of hours, you could be strolling the medieval town squares of Krakow, catching a dazzling Andre Rieu performance in the Netherlands, or witnessing the marvellous Northern Lights at Norway’s Aurora Base Station. The choice is all yours. The best part is, many of our trips depart from regional airports all around the UK, meaning that’s less time travelling, more time for you to enjoy your getaway.
And if you are looking to arrange a last-minute, spontaneous escape, for just a few days, we also offer a range of late deals. Our one to five-night holidays are sure to delight.
