2 Welcome Note Giles Tours have been operating in the province for 28 years. A successful and well-established business we ve been providing services in both the Coach Tour & Coach Hire industry. Based in the Newtownards area of County Down, we supply comfortable, safe and up to date coach travel in addition to a high level of service which our customers have become accustomed to. Much of our day to day work includes providing transport for school trips, church groups, senior citizens groups, airport/ ferry transfers, sporting events, dance groups etc. Alongside our everyday work we are delighted to provide our selection of coach tours and thank you for taking the time to view our 2019 programme. Our extended tours vary from 3 to 8 days in a selection of 3 & 4-star hotels. Our ferry transport is once again booked with Stena Line departing from either Belfast s Victoria Terminal at Westbank Road or Stena Line s Dublin Port. Our day trips continue to be in high demand and again we have added a few new day trips to our schedule. We believe your holiday starts from the moment you board the coach. Once your luggage is loaded at your pick-up point, you can sit back and relax in the knowledge that you won t see it again until you arrive at the hotel. With reserved seating for the duration of your tour, plus our drive on / off ferry policy you are free to make the most of the ship and the on-board facilities. We are all dedicated to providing a friendly, courteous and professional service from the moment you make your first enquiry. We pride ourselves on offering the personal touch, as only a family business can, so if you have any special requirements please discuss them with us at an early stage so we can ensure everything is in place for a care free holiday. Our drivers are totally committed to ensuring you enjoy your holiday and will always be on hand to assist you with any queries. All the team at Giles Tours look forward to the year ahead. We thank our existing customers for their loyalty and support and look forward to meeting anyone joining us for the first time. We wish you all a Happy and Healthy 2019!
