When we set up Glenton, the wee big holiday company, many people
on their own told us they dearly wanted to get away for a holiday but couldn’t find a tour operator who really understood the needs of the solo traveller. Some said they didn’t fancy being alone on a coach full of couples and families. Many felt a holiday just wasn’t the same without pals to share the fun. Others confided they found it hard to pluck up the confidence to introduce themselves to new people.
For all these reasons we came up with Good Companions – holidays and excursions designed especially for the single holidaymaker. On these tours our friendly host will invite you to a reception where you’ll be gently encouraged to meet and mingle with fellow travellers. Before long you’ll be laughing and relaxing in the company of newfound friends.
What’s more, there are no annoying single room supplements to pay, either at home or abroad. We firmly believe no other holiday company works so hard for the mature solo traveller!
New places. New faces. New friends.
For 2012 we’ve brought back many popular holidays throughout the UK and further afield – many with the wee twist of new excursions or different entertainment. We’ve also found some great new hotels for us all to enjoy as we embark on a variety of brand new tours. We’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts on those, as well as on our latest line up of day tours, treats and hops. For the holidaymaker who is travelling alone but hates to be lonely, Good Companions is the perfect solution - we have some great holidays, enjoy some fantastic days out together and make lots of new friends along the way.
A world of possibilities
Destinations for Good Companions holidays are many and varied including Majorca, Malta and a fantastic selection of UK favourites such as Folkestone, Eastbourne and Llandrindod Wells. We also offer a range of day trips to theatre performances and popular visitor attractions - a great opportunity to sample the Good Companions experience, meet other travellers and learn more about our collection.
