Your assurance of our unrivalled standards and quality
Milestones is exclusively focussed on providing quality, service and value. These are just a few reasons why we should be your first decision, making your choice of escorted tour operator an easier one.
Luxurious transport, first-class hotels and included sightseeing
We ensure that we have the perfect way for you to travel to your destination. Our coaches carry on average 40 passengers and are the latest fuel efficient vehicles, designed for ultimate safety and a smooth, quiet journey. Daily seat-rotation allows you to experience the passing sights and scenery from different perspectives and to get to know your fellow passengers.
Our hotels are all perfectly located, exactly where you would want them to be. We choose prestigious top-name properties offering the highest standards of personal service. This means that you are always certain of an excellent choice of nearby dining, entertainment and shopping. When out of town, we stay right in the centre of the National Parks, perhaps in a charming lodge, or in historic monument hotels. When you compare our hotels with properties contracted by other escorted tour operators you will notice that we insist on using the very best hotels available, with daily breakfasts and many other meals included to offer the complete holiday experience.

Our carefully researched itineraries include in the price programmes of sightseeing and excursions ensuring that you experience all of the essential attractions, entrances and sights as well as delightful Hidden Treasures that characterise the area visited. Your Tour Director is often joined by a qualified local guide to add that little bit of extra knowledge.
Private car UK airport transfers
Your holiday should begin in real comfort and style. That is why we include our truly unrivalled exclusive door to door airport transfers on all holidays, from your front door to your choice of departure airport in a private executive saloon car. There will be no need for timeconsuming stops to collect other passengers and, on your return journey, we'll meet you at your arrival airport and drive you straight home.
Our Tour Directors make all the difference
Your Tour Director’s knowledge, experience and friendliness will be the success of your Milestones tour. As an historian, guide, interpreter, concierge and, after only a few hours, a good friend, they will take pride in offering you advice on the best places for you to eat, shop and visit in your free time, often recommending hidden gems that only an expert would know to show you. They will assist with all hotel check-ins and make sure that every little detail is catered for.
And to compliment our Tour Directors, sightseeing excursions and city tours are often conducted by qualified local guides who will gladly share their knowledge with you, revealing the colourful history and entertaining anecdotes of the areas that they love and know so well.
Your own personal travel consultant
When you first get in touch, you’ll meet your Personal Travel Consultant who will remain your contact throughout your time as a Milestones customer. With an individual direct dial telephone number allocated to you, you can always be sure that you’ll get straight through to the person who knows all of the details regarding your bookings and who will be able to answer any queries that you may have.
Our extensive, ongoing training ensures that your friendly and professional Travel Consultant is an expert on all areas that our tours visit. They are justly proud of their attention to detail and focus on providing you with the best possible service as well as the confidence to know that your holiday arrangements are in safe hands.
