SHORT BREAKS WITH LONG MEMORIES 2018
        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.

                  IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ARE COVERED BY
                      TRAVEL INSURANCE ON COACH HOLIDAYS
