Weekend breaks Europe

Short trips to one of the many picturesque cities on the Continent have long been a popular choice with British holidaymakers who are looking to get away from it all for a couple of days. With the opening up of Eastern Europe over the last 20 years the opportunities for travel to less well known countries such as Lithuania and Estonia have multiplied, and as a Baltic specialist with over a decade of experience, we are ideally placed to help travellers put together exciting itineraries taking in the many fascinating cities in the area. As with destinations in Western Europe, the relatively short journey times make cities in the Baltic an attractive option for people who wish to spend a night or two sampling the delights of a foreign culture. Capital cities always seem to have a charm of their own and Vilnius, Tallinn and Riga are no exception. It is fun to explore new places on your own and even more enjoyable if you do not have to worry about finding decent accommodation when you arrive. Among the things that make our special weekend breaks away so relaxing are the airport transfers taking you to a first class hotel.

Making sure

Unlike many travel agents, we take a personal interest in each and every customer that books a holiday with us. Being a family run business we are able to treat our clients in the way that we ourselves would wish to be treated. Each member of our team understands the importance of making sure that everything is perfect, which is why they make a point of travelling to each destination that we feature at least once a month so as to keep abreast of developments on the ground. You can rest assured that any hotel that we book you into has been vetted by one of our consultants. In fact we aim to visit each one at least 3 times every year meaning that we are the first to know if standards start to slip and can make alternative arrangements. Having said that, we have a longstanding relationship with the owners of the hotels that we use and for an exclusive weekend break have found over the years that they can be relied upon to provide excellent service and accommodation. The relationships we have established with operators in each country mean that whatever you want we can probably arrange it.

Support

To help you settle in after arriving at your destination we supply a handy city information pack with details of local amenities and places of interest. In addition to this every customer is given a contact number that they can use in the event that they encounter any problems while they are away. Even if you would just like some advice on the best restaurants nearby our staff will be more than happy to help, so do feel free to call, whatever you need. Because we have a team in the area they can also get hold of tickets to the Opera and help to arrange day trips with guides to show you around. We appreciate that our customers are independent-minded people who like the flexibility that our service offers, but they can always turn to us if they need to. A tailor made weekend break, in our opinion, should combine the freedom that comes with having no fixed timetable, with the reassurance that a dedicated support team provides. Our support starts before you begin your holiday though. Visitors to Russia will need a visa for example and we will supply the necessary letter of introduction, and advice if needed.

Keeping your money safe

In the current economic climate many businesses have folded and this can sometimes cause distress for customers who have paid for goods or services and are waiting to receive them. Fortunately the travel industry has long had precautions in place to deal with such matters. As a company of good standing we are members of AITO which requires that your money is 100% protected so there is no need to worry on that front. We also hold an ATOL licence which means that any flights booked through us are fully protected and are members of ABTA too, which means we meet their stringent requirements regarding the standards of our service and the advice that we provide. Our customers can therefore buy weekend break online with complete confidence. We are proud of the reputation that we have built up but this does not mean that we rest on our laurels. We welcome feedback from our customers and are constantly looking for ways in which we can improve. The many people that come back to us again and again is testament to the expertise of our travel consultants and our determination to make sure all our clients have the best time possible.

The choice is yours

Although we are here to help in any way that we can, only you know the type of holiday that you are looking for. Bespoke packages are what we specialise in but, because of the popularity of some of the itineraries we have put together, we decided to make them available to all our potential clients. Details of these can be found on our site so please take a few moments to have a look through and see if anything takes your fancy. With spa trips, beach holidays and ones in the countryside we are confident you will agree that for weekend breaks Europe is hard to beat. Sun worshippers are sure to enjoy a trip to Palanga in Lithuania. With a beautiful beach stretching for over 11 miles and plenty to do for younger members of the family it is an ideal place for longer holidays too. For couples a romantic stay in Tallinn, Estonia is sure to please. Its historic buildings and narrow streets make it a great city to explore on foot and you can relax with a drink or a meal at one of the many cafes, where you can dine outside in the summer months.
