Short Break Holidays at Easter
Easter is a great time for a short getaway. Whether you're looking to explore a city or breathe fresh air in the countryside, there are many options available.
Chocolate delights in Belgium
Sarah says: Belgium is famous for chocolate, so if you like to indulge with cocoa-based treats then this trip is perfect! Bruges is an ideal city-break destination with charming medieval streets, pretty canals and a vibrant café culture.

Unwind in Umbria

Marvel at Holland’s Tulips

Boat & Bike Tours at Easter
A Boat & Bike holiday is a unique way to explore a country (or more than one!). Cycle and sightsee during the day, then relax, dine and sleep on board your ‘floating hotel’ at night.
Sail South Dalmatia in style
Saul says: A customer favourite, this tour always sells out quickly. Sail Croatia’s azure waters in luxury, stopping off to ride through green forests and beside flowing rivers whilst experiencing world Heritage towns and ancient ruins.

A Far East adventure
Catherine says: An exciting new tour for 2017! This 2-week trip explores Vietnam’s tropical islands, lush landscapes and spellbinding cities. Easter is a very good time to visit as temperatures are cool and the rainy season hasn’t started.

Easy rides in North East Italy
Catherine says: Sail Italy's longest river, with easy cycling and regular stops for gelato & coffee. Ride along canals and riverbanks dotted with palaces, before sailing into the magical city of Venice, which is less busy at this time of year.

Easter Hotel & Bike Tours
Hotel & Bike holidays offer hassle-free cycling between superb locations, with luggage transport included.
Bike and Bubbly
Sarah says: If leisurely rides through prosecco vineyards which produce Italy’s famous sparkling wine sound appealing then why not give our brand new tour a try. You'll be based in one hotel and there’s even wine-tasting en-route!

Mallorca’s beaches
Saul says: Spain’s largest Balearic island, Mallorca is a paradise of glistening bays and authentic fishing villages. Spring is a great time to visit the island as temperatures are milder and beaches are less busy.
