With traditional seaside and loch side locations throughout the UK and a range of appealing destinations in Western Europe, your group really will be spoilt for choice. All of the holidays in this brochure are available for booking by groups and your group will always get the best value by booking one of our advertised tours because we bulk-buy the space and pass the savings on to you. We can tailor most itineraries to your requirements, for example by adding extra excursions or omitting entrance fees. Our generous discounts provide the 21st, 31st, 41st and 51st passenger travelling absolutely free of charge on all advertised holidays. We also offer special joining arrangements for groups and, providing there is a minimum of 40 persons in the party, groups are automatically given sole use of the coach which means that your party will travel direct to your chosen destination without having to travel via an interchange point. For most organisers this is one of the key What Alfa Includes benefits booking a group departure. If your group is not large enough to take a whole coach, we can easily 3 nights’ dinner, room and breakfast reserve part of a coach for your party and can usually make arrangements with local travel agencies to “top up” Rooms with private facilities your group with individual bookings from your local area to avoid the need to travel via an interchange.

fr 5 DAYS fr £ 166 Per Pers o n fr Festive Specials The idea of these Festive Specials is that you get into the feeling of Christmas, relaxing and enjoying good food and entertainment. The bonus is that because it is not quite Christmas, our labour and entertainment costs are much lower and we are able to pass this on in the form of significantly lower prices. Beware of imitations - we have not reduced the content of our Christmas and New Year packages in any way. We provide the same high quality menus and entertainment package as described for the Christmas and New Year breaks opposite. The only difference is that we have a full day shopping excursion on “Christmas Eve” (Tuesday) instead of the half day provided on the real Christmas package.
