Escape the Olympics
We're very much looking forward to London hosting the Olympics in 2012, however we've noticed a growing swell of interest amongst a number of our loyal clients keen to opt instead to escape the UK over the games. In response we've designed a number of exciting expert led tours specifically pegged to the Olympic dates, which all have the option of tailor-made extensions at the beginning or end of the tour:
