Just Go! Holidays has launched a premium collection of packages that include unique excursions, smaller groups, four-star hotels with spa facilities and dinner at a restaurant in the local area.

There are four Just Go! Premium tours, available on selected dates between May and August, but the operator expects to add more.

Experiences include a guided tour of Cambridge University and a punting tour with a student guide, a private guided tour of the Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park in Ripon with a gardener, a guided tour of the Royal Shakespeare Company with cream tea at the rooftop restaurant and a traditional horse-drawn barge cruise on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Each five-day tour includes accommodation in a four-star hotel with spa facilities, a welcome drink on arrival, porterage, a range of excursions and one dinner in a restaurant or pub nearby.  

Added extras include a leather ticket wallet, luggage tag and an umbrella. Tours are also escorted throughout by a dedicated tour manager and no single supplements apply.

To enable the operator to widen its customer base to include those who prefer to travel more independently, the Just Go! Premium collection allows customers make their own way to the hotel to begin their tour.

Parking at the hotel is also included, plus luxury coach transfers to and from every excursion.

Trade Sales Manager Claire Dutton said: “We know that now more than ever, customers are looking to spoil themselves, or those they are travelling with and make up for lost time.

“This new collection is ideal for those wanting to do something a little bit special to celebrate an occasion such as a milestone birthday or anniversary.

“These tours allow customers to make their own way to the hotel and will appeal to those who like to travel a little more independently, but still enjoy having everything else organised for them.”
