2013 England tours & Ireland tours – Innovations.

New for 2013 on our Ireland tours & England tours is our ‘Little Things’ solutions program & our ‘T-Shirt Rebate’ scheme. We believe the ‘T-Shirt Rebate’ scheme is unique to Jolly Good Tours. Click on the T-shirt to the left to find out how you can save money if you don’t want to do particular prepaid INCLUDED visits.

We will start with postage stamps for postcards as part of our ‘Little Things’ solutions program. Buying postage stamps for postcards as you are touring takes loads of time & is a lot of hassle. Even finding a post office to buy stamps can be a nightmare & then good luck with the long queue (line) to get to the counter. Then there are different stamp values for different size postcards & of course different rates for different countries. On Ireland & Great Britain combo tours you have to go through the whole process twice because of 2 different currencies & postal services.

So for all our tours in 2013 you will find in your ‘Welcome Pack’ at the ‘Welcome Reception’ on day 1 a selection of pre-stamped postcards to start you off. This will be included in the tour price. As the tour progresses you will be able to buy stamps for postcards at cost from your Tour Director. Jolly Good Tours Tour Buddies will never again have to waste time in queues at post offices fiddling around trying to work out how much to pay for postage stamps! Of course the simplest remedy is just to tell the folks back home that you won’t be sending postcards as you want to forget all about them for a couple of weeks!

I am adding back the link (Click image of the Lady Elizabeth to the left.) to our history snippet on Queen Elizabeth 1st as we are very close to proving (We think!) by our own research that Queen Elizabeth 1st of England was definitely an ‘imposter’! We have added a ‘Literary Tour + Theatre & Tea Shops.’ for May 2013 in our Ireland tours & England tours 2013 program.

Generally our philosophy is : A fully guided coach tour is a vacation NOT a Marines’ endurance test. Many coach tours are so rushed & overwhelming that you need a vacation on the beach to recover afterwards. “If It’s Tuesday This Must Be Belgium,” is definitely not us. We are more, “If it’s Edinburgh it must be Tuesday & Wednesday!”

Our tours are ideal for all ages from 12 upwards with leisurely itineraries so especially ideal for seniors. We do all sorts of tours like the “Cool Graduation Tour” in June 2013 which will have loads of history, loads of fun & lots of movie locations INCLUDING the Harry Potter Film Studios, London. Brilliant for all ages not just ‘graduates‘.

1. Our Ireland tours & England tours are smaller group tours. They are fully guided, leisurely, coach (That’s a bus with class!) tours which include spectacular Scotland & wonderful Wales too. They are for English speaking overseas visitors from all parts of the world at great value, ultra-competitive prices that usually have at least twice as many prepaid features INCLUDED in the tour price compared to other tours! They are so good your bank manager will want to come with you.
   
2. If you already have a group we can customize a tour for you for all kinds of things at similar great value prices. For example theatre, gardens, literary, ladies only & even men only tours but we don’t do fishing.

It really is that simple! That is all we do and the owners/directors of Jolly Good Tours have been doing it since 1983, so we are experts in England tours, Ireland tours, Scotland tours, Wales tours & Great Britain tours. If you think that might just be your cup of tea (No string hanging over the side of the cup please.) then read on below ……

We sometimes stay in the 17th century Llandoger Trow Premier Inn in Bristol.It was here that the real life Robinson Crusoe (Alexander Selkirk) met Daniel Defoe and thus Robinson Crusoe was created.

We often stay in Oxford and enjoy a fabulous extended walking tour amongst the ancient, hallowed University buildings. Oxford is one of the great cities of the world where you can truly walk in the footsteps of world history. Historic Magpie Lane pictured.
