Your holiday begins as soon as you step on board one of the super-luxury 5 star coaches. All are approved to Bord Failte standards and have comfortable seats, spacious leg-room, foot-rests, seat-belts, air-conditioning, a restroom and DVD player. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the view. On longer tours, seat rotation is the usual practice.
Our huge luggage compartments mean that there are no restrictive baggage allowances and there's plenty of room to bring home all those holiday souvenirs.
