When some people think of coach travel, they picture a crowded and rather uncomfortable journey with a frantic hop on hop off ‘tick off the list’ style of travel.  

Times have changed and coach travel is having a revival. With state-of-the-art luxury vehicles and an ever-increasing list of destinations and attractions, the popularity of coach travel is on the rise. If you believe that one of the highlights of traveling is the journey itself, now might be the time to consider coach touring! Here are some of the benefits:  

Stress Free Travel 

The planning and itinerary are all taken care when you choose an organised coach tour. You don’t have to worry about maps, GPS, timing between locations, accommodation or even parking when embarking on your journey.  You are free to sit back and relax knowing that all the hard work has been done for you, leaving you free to enjoy the whole trip- not just the destinations.  

Expert Guidance 

Our expert guides know their regions inside out. From carefully curated itineraries including must-see landmarks and experiences, to fabulous accommodation and eateries, their experience and knowledge ensures that you will get the best out of your trip. The guesswork is taken out of each day and you don’t have to worry about missing out on something important. Always friendly and on hand to answer any questions you may have, our guides are a wealth of information and love nothing more than sharing their passion and insight with you.  

Comfort 

Coach travel can conjure up images of overcrowded buses with terrible suspension and questionable seatbelts, but this is far from the reality.  Our luxury coaches are spacious, well-maintained and offer amenities including Wi-Fi access, reclining seats, restroom facilities and air-conditioning. Arriving at your destination feeling refreshed and relaxed, ready to take in the sights definitely makes your experience more enjoyable!  

Enjoy the View  

Being in the driver's seat isn’t always an advantage, especially when it comes to exploring unknown destinations. Instead of concentrating on directions and the road in front of you, coach travel allows you to relax and really take in the passing scenery from the comfort of your well-appointed coach. With an elevated view and large windows, you get a real sense of your surrounds and can enjoy the entire journey with some magnificent views along the way.  

Safety 

With Travelmarvel coach journeys, you can be assured that your safety is at the forefront of our minds. With the highest of safety standards in our coaches, our expert guides and drivers will ensure that your trip is not only safe but expertly planned and mapped, leaving little to chance and ensuring everyone on board is in good hands.  

Social  

Sharing your journey with like-minded guests and getting to know new people is always a highlight of any adventure. Coach travel allows you to socialise as much or as little as you like, with the opportunity to strike up conversations between destinations and share stories of your travels. Lifelong friends are made with shared travel experiences!  

 It’s time to let someone else take the wheel and enjoy the journey, not just the destination. Join Travelmarvel on one of our incredible coach tours today.
