Welcome!

It’s hard to believe that it was more than a quarter of a century ago - the year was 1983 - that I started the company. Where did the time go! A year later about 500 brave souls became the first-ever Grand UK holidaymakers, with yours truly as the first-ever Tour Manager! Later that same year I took on my first employee. After all these years I’m proud of the fact that I’m still in touch with many of those original customers - and I’m equally proud that my first-ever member of staff is still with us too! 25 years on, we have become one of the most successful, privately-owned, holiday companies in Britain. So whilst we look to the future, we fondly remember our past - welcoming new friends warmly, and welcoming back old friends time, after time, after time. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Holidays you can count on

We’ve always believed that the best form of advertising is the word of mouth recommendation of satisfied customers - so you won’t find us wasting money on expensive newspaper ads and TV commercials. Instead we invest our time and effort into making our holidays better - and that’s why such a staggering percentage of our customers return to re-book with us each and every year.

A company you can trust

For twenty-five years we’ve been looking after the interests of mature people on holiday, and more than 65,000 holidaymakers join us each year. We remain a privately owned, specialist company that puts all its energy into just one thing - ensuring you get the best from your well-earned holiday. And because we are a member ABTA and licensed by the CAA, you can be sure that the money for your package holiday money is totally safe and secure.

Our price promise

We continually monitor costs to ensure that our holidays offer the best all round value. Trusting one of the largest and most respected leisure companies means that you always get more for your hard earned money... and that’s a promise!
