SELF-DRIVE
TOURS and
CITYBREAKS
These
are short 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.
