Riviera Travel extends UK tours into winter

Riviera Travel has extended four of its UK tours into November and December to meet demand.

Each five-day tour has only limited places available as part of Riviera’s current 2021 programme, which runs to October.

The additional tours have been adapted for the winter season, with select Christmas visits and options now available and shorter day trips due to reduced daylight hours.

The number of nights on offer, available hotels and board basis remain the same.

The four November and December tours, with adapted itineraries include a trip to Bath, Somerset and Glastonbury; a North Yorkshire trip including a tour of York during its Christmas Market; an  Oxford, Blenheim and The Cotswolds trip; and a Peak District tour with entrance to ‘Christmas at Chatsworth House’ and visits to Bakewell, Buxton and Bolsover Castle.

All tours comprise stays in four- and three-star accommodation, daily breakfasts and a tour manager throughout. Dinners are included on select itineraries.

Joanne Lynn, head of product short-haul at Riviera Travel, said: “We’re thrilled with guest demand and feedback from our tours this year, so are pleased to be able to offer four of our most popular itineraries until the end of the year.

“The extended tours will showcase a variety of prominent destinations, while having the bonus of a festive visit or two to mark the Christmas period. We’re looking forward to signing off 2021 with our guests as well as celebrating the successful return of UK holidays.”
