Airport and Seaport Transfer Services - Guided, Themed and Sightseeing Tours

GENERAL SIGHTSEEING TOURS are ideal for those who have a wide range of interests. You may like to base your personalised tour on one of the many ‘tried and tested’ general interest sightseeing tours that Midway have developed and perfected over the years, or we can plan a tour to your suit you. In all cases the general interest sightseeing tours provide our visitors with a unique insight into the British & Irish way of life, and we always include many places well off the beaten track that are unlikely to be found by those without specific local knowledge.

SPECIFIC SUBJECT OR THEME TOURS are another Midway speciality, and we can base your personalised tour on any subject of you choose. To give you an idea, some of the tours we have undertaken recently have included for garden lovers "Country Gardens In Spring", for bell-ringers a "Campanology Tour of Southern England", and for those interested in the age of steam "Preserved Steam Railways In Britain". In 2005 we also carried out a tour for a group interested in “Micro-Breweries & English Ale”. Other specialist subject tours have included Cathedrals and Abbeys, Popular Film Locations, Stately Homes and Castles, English Mystery Writers, World War II History.... the list goes on.

FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN GENEALOGY we can assist with all the research necessary to trace your ancestry as far back as possible, and then provide a tour based on the information discovered. It is essential that as much planning is done as possible prior to the tour, as it is not practical to attempt complicated research during the trip. To make the best of your time you really should come armed with all the information you possibly can.
Please call us without obligation - we will be pleased to discuss your touring requirements with you.

If you or anyone travelling with you needs to KEEP IN TOUCH WITH FAMILY, friends, or business associates while you are touring with Midway, you are welcome to take advantage of the Midway Loan-Phone Scheme. Midway will provide you will a cellular telephone for your use during your tour, and we will advise you of the cell-phone number prior to your leaving home. You can leave the number with anyone who may need to contact you. This phone is loaned to you FREE OF CHARGE, and any incoming calls you receive are free. You only pay for any outgoing call you make, and of course, if you lose the phone you will be charged for it.

PERSONALISED TOUR PRICES can be much lower than you would expect to pay for such a specialised and personal service. As each tour varies in so many ways it is extremely difficult for us to provide a general price list. Rates vary depending on the number of people travelling, the type of accommodation chosen, the size and type of vehicle used, and of course the duration of the tour. Our policy is to quote ‘all-in’ rates per vehicle – not per person, however should the cost be split between tour participants a breakdown can be provided to show any single supplements which may be incurred. Please Contact us without obligation and we will be pleased to provide you with rates applicable to your own particular requirements.
Our Policy is to provide a comprehensive all-in fixed rate, with absolutely no hidden extras or add-ons. For example, we do not make an excess mileage charge, nor will you be asked to pay for 'overtime' should you use the vehicle and Driver-Guide in the evenings during your tour. Unlike most companies tax is included in the rates we quote you.

MORE ABOUT SMALL GROUP TOURS
Our prices compare very favourably with those of large group bus tours, especially when you consider the tremendous flexibility and high level of personal service that we provide. Renting a car and driving yourself may initially appear to cost less, but that 'special self-drive deal' is not such a bargain when you consider the trauma and stress of driving on Britain’s congested roads, and pay for fuel (at about $8 - $9 a gallon) and extortionate parking fees.

MIDWAY SMALL GROUP TOURS of England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland are ideal for anyone who appreciates travelling in the company of other like minded people, but do not relish the thought of large group bus tour. Midway’s general interest and specialised subject small group tours are carried out at a leisurely and relaxing pace, with ample un-rushed time to spend at the various stopping points and attractions. Our tours bear absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to the hectic charge about itinerary associated with the large group bus tours.

Our comfortable Mini-Coaches can travel the smaller byways, country lanes, and narrow streets that the large tour buses simply cannot negotiate. We visit quaint tucked away villages, and enjoy lunch or tea in small Inns or tea rooms. Midway’s general interest and specialised subject small group tours operate throughout the year with group sizes range from 6 to 12 persons, and they represent incredible value for money. Due to limited availability and very high demand Guests are urged to book their place well in advance. Please click here for Special Bargain Offers and late bargain seats on Small Group Tours.

Ask yourself these questions…… Do you like:
• Travelling in a small group?
• Knowledgeable, friendly, and well educated tour guide?
• Getting to know your fellow travellers before setting off?
• An itinerary that involves very little packing/unpacking?
• Exploring with a knowledgeable local guide and having time to see the things that interest you?
• Getting down the real back roads, not the tourist traps?
• No commissioned store / factory / shop visits?

If you have answered “yes” then a Midway Small Group Tour is right for you!

MIDWAY SMALL GROUP TOURS are all priced as “Land Only” packages. This provides you with maximum flexibility in your choice of carrier, class of service, and use of frequent flyer miles. Our tours commence in Central London and conclude when we deliver you back to your London departure airport. Of course if you would like to stay on, after your tour, we can make any necessary reservations for you, and take you back into Central London.

Our goal is to minimize the amount of packing and unpacking, and our accommodations are selected with great care to reflect local character and ambience. All accommodations are inspected annually and approved by the British Tourist Authority for quality, and standard of service, and all bedrooms will have ‘en suite’ facilities (private bathroom). We also strive to use hotels located within small friendly towns and villages so that our clients can set their own after dinner pace. Some clients may choose to turn in early, whilst others may wish a leisurely stroll around the town or head off to the pub to meet and chat with the local people.

MIDWAY SMALL GROUP TOURS are as formal or informal as you want them to be. As all but the most prestigious restaurants and hotels do not have strict dress codes, casual clothing is quite acceptable. This is a godsend in that you can bring minimal luggage. You should bring an “Anorak” (waterproof rain jacket) in case of the unlikely event of a little dampness in the air, but as we provide umbrellas you don’t need to bring these yourself. Most old country hotels, B&B's, Pubs, and Inns do not have air conditioning, as for the most part this is only available in the newer chain motels and big city hotels.

Because we care as much about your vacation as you do, MIDWAY SMALL GROUP TOURS are not tied to rigid schedules. They are specifically designed to give you time to visit the places that interest you, time to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds, time to explore at a pace that suits you and time to visit with and chat to local folk.
