Fancy a day out? Book a Day Excursion with Dave New Tours to have the perfect day trip and discover amazing destinations and places in the UK.

  • Please can I pass on our thanks for a lovely week last week on your holiday to the Norfolk Broads. As you will be aware, we were blessed with beautiful weather which meant we could enjoy all the excursions to the full, what a packed week we had, exploring this beautiful corner of England. We enjoyed every day, and Dave was a wonderful host, caring and looking out for everyone, keeping us informed when out and about on points of interest and doing his best to ensure our holiday was the best it could be.

    Mrs L, Greenodd
  • Just a quick note to say how much my wife & I enjoyed the Heart of Wales tour. The hotel and food were superb and Dave as usual looked after us all. See you again soon on the Newcastle & Gateshead Metro trip

    Mr & Mrs F, Barrow
  • Thank you so much for organising trips in this difficult time. Thank you for taking all the precautions & looking after your groups. I so enjoyed your ‘maiden voyage’ to Bournemouth. I look forward to Blackpool Illuminations & later the Mystery Tour

    Mrs H, Askam
  • What a brilliant holiday, even if the good weather helped a great deal. The hotel was excellent, with fantastic staff, and good food. There cannot be many places where one has 2 bathrooms! (An adapted shower room and a standard bathroom). I thoroughly enjoyed the excursions and look forward to seeing next year ‘s brochure. Wishing you all well for the future.

    Mrs M, Ulverston
  • Just returned from an excellent tour to the Brecon Beacons. Excellent service all round. Can’t praise Dave’s efforts enough, to ensure everyone safe and happy. Choice of hotel and trips out great. Thank you

    Mrs A, Barrow

Travel Insurance

A travel Insurance policy should be an important part of your holiday plans. You should consider the consequences of not taking out a travel insurance policy, such as:

1. The risk of you having to cancel or cut short your holiday if you fall ill or suffer an injury is the same irrespective of where your holiday is.
2. Likewise, the risk of you falling ill or suffering an injury during your holiday is the same irrespective of where your holiday is, the only difference being the potential cost of expenses incurred.

This isn’t intended to put you off travelling, quite the opposite.

Taking out a travel policy should give you the reassurance that should something unexpected happen before or during your holiday, you have access to speedy and professional assistance, as well as the opportunity to claim compensation for your loss.

However, due to the complexity and increased cost to comply with Financial Conduct Authority regulatory requirements, it’s unfortunately become unviable for us to sell a travel insurance policy directly to you, our customers.

Believing in the importance of taking out a travel insurance policy, we’re doing our best to give you easy access to a suitable travel insurance policy.

We are simply introducing you to this facility. If you prefer to search for a different travel insurance policy, that’s OK. We simply believe that you should take out a travel insurance policy to cover your holiday.

Should you want to, you can get a quote and / or take out a policy to meet your travel insurance demands and needs by visiting https://towergatepip.b2ctravel.co.uk/customer/index.aspx or calling 01371 705159.
