INTRODUCTION
Vintage Tours was originally founded by John Woodhams in 1987 to operate occasional tours with restored vintage motor coaches, and although this still forms part of the operation, many of our tours are now rail based continental touring holidays. The programme 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.
We offer a series of special weekend tours using a vintage coach, perhaps featuring a steam hauled luxury Pullman dining train or even a cruise aboard a Victorian steam yacht, and at least one tour each year has a garden theme.
Our selection of European holidays offer a unique blend of railway travel, veteran steamships and occasionally a vintage or classic bus. 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.
We have now added the initial tour programme for 2009, our 22nd year, and hope you will decide to join us!
