Very Special Sightseeing Day Tours to the
ISLE OF WIGHT
"An Island of Treasures!"
THURSDAYS DURING SUMMER 2009
2nd July to 24th September, inclusive
|
There’s something quite special about travelling to an island that makes a day out seem really quite magical. The Isle of Wight may be just a few miles from the mainland but it contains many hidden treasures – it is an island of contrasts; from bustling harbours and quiet beaches to picturesque villages and historic castles. Little wonder that it has been a holiday-makers favourite for so many years, including of course, Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Our visit to the island includes a FULL CIRCULAR TOUR accompanied by an informative and amusing commentary of the many places of interest seen en-route. The pace is unhurried and relaxed, and appropriate stops for lunch, tea and sightseeing are made during the course of the day (no meals included in fare) An air-conditioned coach will be provided for your comfort. This year we have completely revised our itinerary and have now included a trip on the Isle of Wight STEAM RAILWAY - a journey back in time and an unforgettable experience for all of the senses. |
