So, you’re considering taking your first coach holiday? Or, maybe you’ve just booked it? We know how excited you must feel at the prospect of visiting so many spectacular destinations in one holiday! But, you’re probably wondering just what you’ve let yourself in for.
What will it be like? Will I enjoy it? Well, earlier this week, we asked our fantastic Facebook fans for their top tips and advice for a first time traveller, and they didn’t disappoint.
We’ve pulled together our favourite snippets of advice for you to take a look over to give you a better understanding of just what to expect as you step on board a Leger coach for the first time…
Your drivers are always there to help…

Wow! 23rd? That’s fantastic, Ron. We hope you have a fantastic time in the Algarve 🙂
I did my first solo trip with Leger in September last year – marvellous. Within 24 hours, I’d made friends with enough people on board that I didn’t worry about sitting on my own for dinner – there were people waving hello as soon as I reached the restaurant!
My top tips:
1) smile and say hello to everyone, right from the first time you board
2) approach other singles on tour and share if you’re feeling nervous
3) use the social table at the back of the coach – you’ll end up chatting to lots of different people
4) join in! Book the optional tour, stay for a drink after dinner
5) chat with the drivers if you’re feeling a bit lonely – they are great at ‘naturally’ helping you join in with a group
I am already excited about my trip this September to Porec – I love travelling solo because it means I can do everything I want, share lots of social time with the group and have some peace and space when I need it.
