enfieldian tours � autumn 2019 / spring 2020 day tours 3

Welcome to our unique collection of holidays and short breaks

At Enfieldian we believe that a coach tour should

be interesting and informative from start to finish.

To achieve this aim each tour is operated to a specially

prepared itinerary that starts from the moment you

join the coach at your local pick up point. You stay

on the same coach throughout the tour and there

are no time-wasting interchanges.

Our many regular travellers constantly remind us that

our tours ensure congenial company as well as providing

the opportunity to enjoy a memorable holiday with

others who appreciate the true beauty, heritage and

magnificence of Great Britain or the different flavours

of Europe.

Hotels.

Unless otherwise stated the hotels used on our tours

are of the comfortable 2/3 star standard and each room

has private facilities and is equipped with tea/coffee

making facilities. Accommodation is on a dinner, bed

and breakfast basis, unless otherwise stated.

sinGle suPPleMents.

Company policy is that No Single Supplements are

charged on the original fare on British Tours. However,

when the full allocation of single rooms has been taken

up there will be a supplement for any additional single

rooms or the single occupancy of a twin or double

room. The availability and cost will be determined

by the hotel concerned.

other goods either from local shops, hypermarkets or tax

free outlets at the ports, depending on the tour itinerary

of the cheaper prices on the continent. Any passengers

suspected of bringing amounts of tax-free goods over the

UK allowances will be put off the coach at Calais or Dover,

without any refund of the fare or goods purchased.
