SELF-DRIVE
TOURS and
CITYBREAKS
These
are breaks based on a hire car awaiting you at the regional
airport of
your choice, accommodation reserved for you in advance
in country inns or guesthouses ... and a 'suggested itinerary'
mapped out
for you. You can stick to our suggestions (they are based
on years of experience and actually living here!) or just
use the
programme
as a rough guide. You can be between one and five people,
as you wish.
