The winter ski resort of Fügen becomes our summer touring centre for this beautiful Austrian alpine region. Nestling in the Zillertal valley beneath towering mountain peaks this elegant town is an ideal base to explore some of the many attractions in the area. The itinerary features a guided tour of Innsbruck, a train ride, a boat ride, and of course, the ‘Cow’s Return’, a simple but colourful village festival that celebrates the return of the animals to the village after spending the summer on the mountain pastures.

Eastbourne is one of Britain’s more elegant resorts with its wide spacious promenade, many gardens and squares and the rolling grasslands ascending to the high perpendicular cliffs of Beachy Head. A Pier and a fine shopping centre are other features of the resort. Eastbourne also offers a variety of entertainment. The distinctive three-tier promenade is bordered by dazzling floral displays and the turquoise and gold domed bandstand looks striking against the seascape.

A completely new and different tour walking in the Dales of Derbyshire.The dramatic landscape is carved out of beautiful limestone, creating a rolling backdrop rich in variety. The Dales feature tranquil river valleys, rugged caves, vast moorlands and picturesque villages and market towns.

With the nation's interest in the Royal Family having grown in recent years, we have enhanced our popular Norfolk Broads tour and included a visit to Sandringham Estate, Her Majesty's Norfolk retreat. This, together with a nostalgic railway journey and Broads cruise, provides a truly enjoyable tour.

Set between two rugged headlands with miles of golden beach, Paington nestles snugly between its two neighbours - Torquay and Brixham. Its colourful image is enhanced by a marine gardens promenade, pier and harbour which are brought to life at nightfall by seafront illuminations. Paignton boasts good shopping facilities, a theatre, together with a host of seaside attractions. Its beaches are without doubt the best in the bay.

Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake is perhaps the most beautiful lake in all of Europe. Its waters are incredibly transparent and the intense blue of the water and the luxurious vegetation add to its natural beauty. Garda’s expansive mirror surface glimmers deep within two rocky coastlines, its deepest point reaching down over 340 meters. Its scenery differs from mountainous and jagged in the North to gently hilly in the South. Throughout the lake region the climate is pleasant and exceptionally mild which favours the growth of a predominately Mediterranean vegetation (olives, grapes, figs, oleanders, magnolias, palm trees, etc).
