For 2024 we have introduced improvements to our network of local pick up points across the eastern, central and southern England, aimed at shortening your journey times and getting you away on holiday more easily and conveniently, meaning an altogether more relaxing start. By creating two pick up regions your travel days will be more convenient, providing more efficient journeys, meeting your tour manager and fellow travellers earlier and in most cases arriving in resort earlier.

Customer feedback shapes how we do what we do, and last year 96% of our passengers said they would book future coach trips with us. We’re delighted about that, and we're always excited about welcoming new travellers on board to experience an escape with Grand UK Holidays.

Escorted Tours

We specialise in escorted coach holidays and our aim is to make sure you enjoy every single moment of your time away with us. Escorted tours mean that all of our coach holidays are accompanied by a Tour Manager, and we have the best in the business.

Tour Managers are the heartbeat of our holidays, making sure you have the best possible time on your break, even if you are a more senior traveller. You’re never alone on an escorted tour, Tour Managers help break the ice with other holiday-makers, so even if you are travelling solo, you’ll soon be forming lifelong friendships!

Tour Managers That Go the Extra Mile

Many of our Tour Managers have been working for Grand UK Holidays for a number of years, so know our coach tours inside out, which works in perfect harmony with their bubbly personalities, which all ensure you have a fantastic holiday. Our Tour Managers really are the heartbeat of the business and it is their passion and enthusiasm that provides you with fond memories for years to come.

Robin Adams - Grand UK Tour Manager

"Being a Grand UK tour manager is a role I enjoy very much. The variety of coach trips and tours offered by Grand UK is extremely broad and so I am very lucky in that I get to escort our customers around many wonderful and different places.

I enjoy imparting my knowledge of the history and culture of the United Kingdom and Ireland and making people laugh at improbable tales, myths and legends that are manifold in these ancient lands.

Making holidays special is all part of the job and therefore personal service is important to me. I like to make everyone on my coach feel at ease so they can sit back and enjoy their holiday; that's what makes it special for me."

Daphne Presgrave - Grand UK Tour Manager

"I thoroughly enjoy being a tour manager as I get to meet people from all walks of life, and I love listening to their life tales.

I make sure I am knowledgeable about all the areas we visit and give a question at the end with a little twist for the passengers to answer - it all adds to the fun atmosphere I try to create on the journeys. Having a great rapport with the driver really helps with this too.

To ensure my passengers feel special and well-looked after, I try to give plenty of time to each person on my trips - it's these little things that can make a holiday even better."
