Hi, Its not long, 30th May, until I go on my holiday, Spectacular Spain for Singles so am looking forward to hot , sunny weather which I'm sure Leger will be able to arrange!!!!

A couple of questions.

The optional tours:

Girona & Besalu

Catalan Country Tour

How much? Discounts for buying all?

Also, we're staying in the Hotel Florida Park, do they provide tea/coffee making facilities in the bedrooms?

Motel – the emerging concept in Plymouth

NICOLETTI31 — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:06:30 GMT

Initially, the term ‘motel’ was meant for local travelers and foreign tourists traveling by road. The concept, primarily, originated in the U.S.A. Basically, motels serve the needs and requirements of these travelers and meet the demand for transit accommodation. Or, we can also call a motel as a place for transit overnight stay. In [i][b][url=http://www.bedsearcher.co.uk/plymouth-hotels.htm]Plymouth Motels[/url][/b][/i] offer the best to a transit visitor.

Some of the important services offered by the motels include parking and garage facilities, accommodation, restaurants and eateries and public catering and recreational facilities. Here, it is essential to note that the motels in Plymouth are equipped with gas filling stations, accessories, service of the elevator to the automobile entrance, restaurants etc.

However, to enrich the services on offer in Plymouth, it is also essential that the motels make available to the guests equipments and tools, if the tourists like to repair their vehicles. In the 20th century, it was the inn keeper’s answer to the needs of the travelers that resulted in the increased use and popularity of the automobile.

Motels are mostly located outside the city, preferable along highways and important road junctions where tourists want to relax. Motels are of different types. Some motels in Plymouth provide bare minimum services whereas some of the other motels provide almost all the facilities found in modern hotels, of course, at much cheaper prices.

The accommodation available in a motel is more in the category of a ‘chalet facility’, which has a dining hall with fixed menu. Some of the motels also provide shipping facilities. In the U.S.A, the motel accommodation is ranked at par with hotel accommodation. In the true sense, they are also supposed to play an active role in anticipating the needs, requirements and tastes and preferences of their esteemed customers and in shaping and designing their desires and aspirations, and helping them in tackling their numerous day-to-day problems.

Question for Leger - mobile phones

kaiserphil — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 12:13:27 GMT

Going on the Xmas in Ghent tour on 23/12. Just wondering if my German mobile charger will fit sockets in Belgium? Alternatively, is the hotel likely to have local chargers for use by guests?

Regards,

ms prinses juliana

smokesmate — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:22:28 GMT

can anyone tell me if its possible to purchase meals at the restaurant on board this ship or do you have to have the pre booked meal package to eat on board.

having seen the menu for the pre booked meals,i don't really fancy trying the pre booked meals and if you can't purchase other food onboard i am going to have to try finding a restaurant in the cities where we are staying which at christmas time could be a nightmare.

Single room saver

Troi — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:49:17 GMT

Hiya. I am looking to book a holiday in March or April 09. I am a single traveller and unfortunately have been to most of the destinations on singles trips in previous years. Therefore I have been looking at the main brochure. Could you tell me does the single room saver apply on both the silver service dates as well as the executive coach dates as this will determin when I travel. I also realise you only have 4 per trip and it is on a first come first serve basis. Hope to hear from you soon so I can book my holiday......

Thanks Troi.

Toilets on Feeder Coaches

Sassyshiraz — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:14:38 GMT

Hi all, I'm going on the 4 star Cologne trip end of this month and we are being picked up from Bristol at 7:10am and won't get on ferry until 3:40pm which seems an awful long time. Anyway, I was wondering as our journey to port is so long will there be an on-board toilet???

I know some feeder coaches don't have them but our trip isn't a short one so I'm hoping there will be a loo??

please can you tell me which luggage size is used as in the brochure a different maximum luggage size is given to what is printed on the travel documents that i have received for my trip next week to italy.

Arrival at Rueon

Mike Hendle — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:26:45 GMT

Sorry to bother you again,just a quick question about arrival time at Rueon.

I was wondering if it would be worth waiting till we get to Rueon for a meal,or should I have a meal on the Ferry on the way over to Calaise,I'm only asking as I'm diabetic and have to work meal times out.

I'm going on the Swiss all inclusive holiday departing from Peterborough on the 20/09/08.

General advice

Mike Hendle — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 11:03:57 GMT

I'm due to go on this holiday on the 30th Sept.And was wondering whether to take some jumpers for the evenings.

One of the trips is to Lake Constance with an optional Cruise on the lake,can I pay for this with swill Franc's or does it have to be Euro's?.

I was wondering what Klosters is like, as Leger Holidays have changed the hotel which was the Parkhotel to a new one in Klosters.

One last thing can I use my i pod in the coach if I keep the volume low,it only has ear phones.

I'm really looking forward to this trip,my late wife and I had some really good trips with Leger in the past, I have decided to pay the extra and I am trying the Silver Service.

stevec — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 20:16:55 GMT

I've traveled befor on a couple of tours, the last being in May to Sorrento and the Neapolitan Riviera, which by the way was a great trip.

My next tour on the 8th Sept is Prague, Vienna & Budapest for Singles.

I know we usually pay for the optional tours on the coach traveling to our destination. Can you advise the cost of the options on this tour, which if I'm correct are:

1. Prague by Night, and

2. Vienna Sightseeing.

Will payment for the Prague tour have to be made in Czech Koruna or Euros?

TV on board coach?

Sophie — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:14:58 GMT

Hi, I'm due to go on the Rome, Pompeii and Capri tour on July 5th. I'm wondering about the likelyhood of being able to watch the Doctor Who finale on the same day, as from what I've worked out the coach will be somewhere in the middle of France.

Just wanting to know if I should set the recorder!

(I know, I know... I'm a geek). :P

Luggage Size

Adrian — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 09:19:16 GMT

Hi, I was just reading through our itinerary and looking over the luggage size section. It says the case must be no longer than 60cm.....we're 5cm over on both cases, but under on all other measurements. So how strict are the coaches on case size? My guess is 5cm is not going to make much difference as someone else's case is bound to be slightly smaller! ;)

If they are very strict on size then it's kinda tough as these are the only cases we have that come close to the measurements and we can't really afford to go buying more new cases! :unsure:

Cheers!

Currency needs

Jacqi — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 14:26:20 GMT

At Easter I'll be going on the Prague, Vienna and Budapest tour and at the end of May I'm doing the Grand Russian Spectacular. What do I need int eh way of currencies for tips, drinks,souvenirss, lunches, etc. I don't want to end up with lots of cash left over in currencies I'll not use again, nor do I want to be counting pennies or going without.

Any advice welcome.

Extra trips on Explore Ostend tour

mjm — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 17:37:24 GMT

We are booked on the Explore Ostend tour next month (September) and just wanted to know if you know the cost of the extra tours (Ypres & Sluis) which I take is payable once there. Also with the luggage allowance, where you state 1 medium suitcase plus 1 piece of hand luggage is that for storage in the overhead space?

Less than a month to go so we are both looking forward to the break.

Cost of Extra Trips and How much money to take?

Adrian — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 13:11:48 GMT

Hi,

I know this question will be a bit like how long is a piece of string;) , but do you have any rough idea on how much money is required for going on the Gems of Austria tour? I'd also like to know what the costs of the extra tours are? We are on the sliver service tour so would only need to know how much the Train ride tour would be on Day 4 and Eagles Nest tour on Day 5. Also how do we arrange the additional tours??

I'd just like to get a rough idea of costs really. Oh, and I just thought....does anyone know if eating out is expensive or not? i.e. lunch times for sandwiches etc?

So many questions!! lol! Hope someone has some idea!

BTW, once I've been on the tour I'll stick a review on the site for everyone given there isn't one at the moment! :)

Regards

Adrian

Best In Flight Service

jakesparo — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 07:56:25 GMT

What's everyone's opinion on the in flight service of different airlines? Which is the best service?

I had only flown on European and North American airlines until recently, when I flew on Emirates to New Zealand. I find their service so much better than what I had experienced before, from the staff to the in flight entertainment, to the meals, which vary on each flight.

What other airlines are good?

Luggage

patian — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 13:14:56 GMT

My wife and I are doing the 14 day Highlightds of Eastern Europe Silver Service tour in April.

My wife is concerned that we are only supposed to take one suitcase each and feels that this is insufficient for this type of tour. There will be little opportunity to do personal laundry when we will be staying in different hotels almost each night. Has anyone esxperienced this before, was it OK to take more than one suitcase particularly on Silver Service- which is supposed to be the Upgrade option.
