INTRODUCTION Welcome to our initial tour programme for 2008, our 21st season. We are still working on the programme, and not all tours have been added yet, so do please look again! Vintage Tours was originally founded by John Woodhams to operate occasional tours with restored vintage motor coaches, and although this still forms part of the operation, most of our tours are now rail based continental touring holidays. The company has deliberately remained small, so that virtually all tours are personally escorted. The two vintage coaches are still used, and apart from our own tours, are also available for hire for weddings and other special occasions. Although our brochure is not large and glossy, we do offer a selection of holidays with a unique blend of railway travel, veteran steamships and occasionally vintage motor coaches. We would stress that you do not have to be a transport enthusiast to enjoy our tours, as the itineraries normally take in particularly scenic areas and historic towns. Tours normally run with between 15 and 25 group members, many of whom have been travelling with us for a number of years, and comprise ladies and gentlemen in roughly equal numbers. We aim to enjoy a relaxed, friendly and informal atmosphere, with a degree of flexibility so that you do not have to remain with the group all the time if you wish to explore on your own. On continental tours accommodation is normally arranged on a bed and breakfast basis unless otherwise stated, as this allows greater freedom for our daily programme, and the chance to enjoy local restaurants. We hope you will decide to join us! For further information please contact:
