Who we are

Founded in 1982 with the aim to provide leisurely, value-for-money, small group tours to fascinating historic and cultural destinations, our escorted tours continue to run successfully on this principle, under the guidance of Tours Director, Jeanette Savage.

Our small group tours comfortably explore fascinating destinations and stunning scenery across Europe, USA, Canada, Asia & Morocco.

Our "no rush policy" appeals to travellers who want leisurely travel, longer stays, personalised service, quality inclusions, flexibility, value and security.

Our association with Myall Travel, a licensed travel agent and member of the Travelscene/American Express group, protects all monies paid by our clients under the Travel Compensation Fund.

What we offer

In summary Interlude Tours deliver:

• Worry free travel with the security, sanctuary and companionship of small group touring.
• Unique itineraries to Europe, USA, Canada, Asia and Morocco.
• Relaxed yet stimulating group tours styled for comfort and leisure.
• Fully escorted tours run by responsible, friendly and experienced staff.
• Absolute value for money. Our tours are not loaded with 'optional extras'.
• Many local sightseeing tours, activities and meals included in every itinerary.
• Personal attention to detail and experienced travel knowledge of tour areas.
• Boutique hotel accommodation with modern facilities, to capture local ambience.
• Enough unscheduled itinerary time for your own exploration and relaxation time.
• Numerous opportunities to take special photos and picnics across Europe.
• Generous discounts on travel insurance through Myall Travel.
• Competitive pricing and expertise through Myall Travel in booking any add-on travel arrangements.

We are very personable and friendly, beginning with a pre-tour get-together to meet other travellers and review the tour arrangements.

Great care is taken in selecting accommodation. We prefer the ambience of well located, quality boutique hotels which are typical of the region yet provide personalised service and comfortable modern facilities.

In Europe we travel via scenic, "off-the-beaten-track" routes wherever possible; exploring stunningly beautiful towns, villages and scenery that see little of the general touring public. Large coach operators are unable to explore these areas due to lack of mass accommodation or their vehicles inability to travel on minor scenic roads.

Our new nine seater mini coaches are able to travel anywhere a car can. Comfortable and air conditioned, they offer splendid views from their panoramic windows. Each of the passenger armchairs is fitted with a safety belt.

Generally departures on a day of travel are around 8.30am and arrivals 4.00pm. Stays can be as long as 3 nights although 2 night-stays are the norm.

Our mission statement

To provide fun friendship and fully escorted personalised tours giving Interlude Tours' travellers the best possible and secure International travel experiences at value for money prices.

A: The amount of walking done is up to the individual. However we do suggest you get reasonably fit before any holiday by taking daily walks.

Q: Do I need visas?

A: Visa requirements vary for different nationalities and depend on the countries visited during the tour. Visa advice is given with each tour reservation pack.

Q: I do not have a travel partner. Must I pay the single supplement?

A: Our prices are based on twin-share accommodation. Interlude Tours do not match share partners however if we know that another solo traveller of the same gender is interested in sharing, we offer to put you in touch with each other. If both agree to twin share we require written confirmation of that agreement from both parties. Otherwise we regret that the single supplement applies.

Q. Can I pay by credit card?

A: Yes. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Bankcard, Diners and *American Express.
* American Express add 3% surcharge - all other cards add 1.5%
Each tour Reservation Pack contains a credit card authorisation form.

Q. I am rather independent and enjoy time to myself. On tour would I be obliged to always be with the rest of the group?

A: No. You can be totally independent when not travelling between destinations.

We ask that you advise your tour director when you are not going to participate in any pre planned activities or meals and advise that there is no refund for these programmed inclusions if not taken. Most likely, you will quickly make friends on the tour and enjoy the group activities. Everyone has adequate free time to relax and enjoy their own pursuits and company.
