Cultural Breaks is an ABTA bonded Tour Operator offering escorted holidays and short breaks for lovers of travel, culture and the arts. All our holidays, whether in the UK or overseas, include a chauffeur driven car service between home and the meeting point and are fully escorted throughout by experienced tour managers. For overseas holidays, our chauffeurs will escort you, with your luggage to be greeted by your tour manager at the airport or cruise terminal check-in. This service is especially popular with our older members. Accommodation in 4-Star and 5-Star hotels is provided as standard, with no single supplements on double rooms for single occupancy, a real asset for our many single members. Everything detailed in our brochure is included in the price; door-to-door car service, coach travel, flights, accommodation, all meals throughout, wine with dinner, theatre tickets, guided tours, admission to properties, gratuities and even travel Insurance.
