HOLIDAY INFO

Tailor Made Holidays

You can be certain that your individual requirements are our priority.

We will ensure that you have as much information as possible on all the local amenities, any attractions, local tours and transport facilities.

We can tailor-make an itinerary to suit your requirements, although if you prefer the freedom of a self-drive holiday, we can organise that too, offering standard or adapted vehicles. Our skill is in taking your dreams and turning them into a reality.

Popular Self Drive Destinations

We are able to arrange wheelchair adapted self drive vehicles in the USA, UK, Scandinavia and Ireland.

Alternatively if you do not want to drive yourself we can arrange for a driver/guide to accompany you for your whole trip.

Below are a number of suggestions so you can have an idea of the type of tailor made holidays we can arrange:

 

Sample 1

14 nights self-drive Ireland

Start your holiday in Dublin for 3 nights giving you a chance to explore this charming city and its National treasures.

After leaving Dublin, head south along the East coast through Wicklow to Waterford for 2 nights.  Here you will be able to explore the surrounding area and include a visit to the internationally famous Waterford Crystal factory.

Dublin

Drive to Cork and spend 3 days exploring the area including the Jameson Whisky distillery, Blarney Castle and the old port of Cobh (pronounced Cove).  In addition there are excellent shopping facilities.

After leaving Cork move on to Killarney for a further 3 nights which will give you the opportunity  to see a traditional Irish town in the west of the country which offers fabulous views over the nearby lakes in the Killarney National Park as well as a chance to drive round the Dingle Peninsular or Ring of Kerry.

To continue the adventure, drive northwards to Galway for a further 2 nights.  The area around Galway offers beautiful views of the west coast and an ideal opportunity to watch wonderful sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean.

The last night is again spent in Dublin to provide an opportunity for some last minute shopping before returning home.

 

Sample 2

10 Days Eastern Canada

This one is for those who don’t want to drive themselves.

Your flight from the UK will take you into Toronto from where you have a transfer to your hotel. 

After a one night stay to relax after the journey you will board the train for Montreal where you will stay for 3 nights.  Montreal is a city with a wide range of different interests including various festivals at different times of the year and as well as being the home of the Canadian F1 Grand Prix offers a great shopping experience, but as it is located in Quebec bear in mind that French is widely spoken.

Quebec 

 

The next stage of your journey will take you to Ottawa the capital of Canada for 3 nights. Nestled on the banks of the majestic Ottawa, Rideau and Gatineau Rivers, Ottawa is one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. Ottawa is also rich in culture and heritage with its many national institutions, parklands, waterways and historic architecture. This includes the seat of the Canadian Parliament.

Rideau Canal

Your third rail journey brings you back to Toronto for the final 3 nights of your trip.  Located on the shores of Lake Ontario there is a wide choice of places to see and things to do.  In addition to enjoying a day trip to the magnificent Niagara Falls which is included as part of the package you can take a trip on the “Maid of the Mist” which takes you for a ride at the base of the Falls (waterproof capes provided), visit the CN Tower, enjoy the myriad of shops and restaurants and many other places of interest. At the end of your holiday you will have a transfer back to the airport for your flight home.

Something different

Ever thought about a holiday through Northern Europe and part of Scandinavia?

One of our clients went by ferry to Holland and then drove through Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and into Norway over a 16-day period.

Amsterdam

They then came back to the UK by ferry from Norway.

A variation on that idea which wouldn’t involve driving could be a two-centre holiday flying from the UK to Stockholm for 4/5 days then taking the overnight ferry to Helsinki for a further 4/5 days and flying back from Helsinki.  Both these capital cities are very accessible and offer a wide variety of things to see and do.

Epic Adventure in Ecuador

Arrival in Quito. Pick up from airport and transfer to hotel for an overnight stay.

Begin your 10 nights adventure towards San Pablo Lake, whilst admiring the beautiful views of the Andes’ snow caped mountains. There is an opportunity to visit the town of Calderón and Ibarra en route. San Pablo Lake will be the headquarters for visiting Otavalo, Cotacachi and Peguche Village, areas famous for manufacturing handicrafts, leather products and traditional musical instruments. You will experience the sounds and smells of the local market, with the chance to interact with the natives and witness a typical dance presented by the locals.

Ecuador

For the second part of the tour you will be driven south towards the Cotopaxi National Park to observe the wildlife and visit a typical hacienda (farm) and a rose plantation before heading to Baños de Agua Santa, one of the entrances to the Amazon.  There are several waterfalls to visit around Bañosas as well as a drive towards the Tungurahua volcano is worth mentioning.  To finalise this part of the tour you will have an outing to the Rescue Centre with local animals that have been recovered from illegal animal trade.

Ecuador

To continue with this amazing excursion you’ll travel to the Anzu river where you will take a supervised rafting trip in a very calm river to admire the nature of the Amazon. You’ll encounter the people of Rukullacta and have the opportunity to learn about the way they keep their traditions and at the same time have adapted to 21st century costumes.

A typical dance will be performed followed by a ritual cleaning of the body and soul by the Shaman (Tribe Doctor) for the more adventurous. Afterwards you will visit the town of Tena (capital for the Napo province) then towards Papallacta, where views of the landscape are simply magnificent.

Fundacion AM-EN

For the last part of the journey you’ll head back to Quito to learn the history of the city, which includes a visit to Quito’s Colonial Centre, museums, churches and the Middle of The World Monument, which is located on the Equator. To finish off there is a horse riding session at Fundacion AM-EN, who specialises in horseback riding therapies for the disabled.

A farewell dinner is arranged at 4100 metres above see level for the last get together where you can look back at this epic journey.
