The Riviera difference
Here are a few reasons why you can feel confident when booking a holiday with us
Unbeatable Value for Money & Honest Pricing
With 40 years of experience as the UK’s leading escorted tour operator, we can offer remarkable value on our holidays; our scale and the strong relationships we’ve built with our suppliers enables us to negotiate exceptional rates – and we pass those savings straight back to you. Our prices are fair and straightforward, with no hidden extras. Unlike many of our competitors, with us there’s no smoke and mirrors with our pricing and promotions – you’ll never find us inflating our prices just to offer artificially big discounts – we just offer amazing value for money, all the time.
We’ll look after you – no matter what
We’ll always go above and beyond to make sure you can enjoy the holiday you’ve looked forward to. Almost all of our holidays run without any issues, but occasionally we’ll be impacted by circumstances outside of our control. If this happens, rest assured that our team will take care of it; finding alternative travel options, organising hotels, and keeping you informed. We’re there for you every step of the way – so all you need to worry about is your packing.
