Thames Valley Tours

I am a ‘not for profit’Group Travel Organiser. ‘Thames Valley Tours is the name of our group. The Tour Operators used are fully bonded for security.

I run several short breaks each year mostly to Europe and in the UK. Thames Valley Tours is the 'nom de plume' of Andrea Golder, a retired Civil servant with many years experience of organising short breaks for former colleagues. Andrea also runs these trips as a volunteer for the CSSC (a civil service sports and social club). Trips are run on a non-profit-making basis, providing mostly short bre

aks of between 1 - 5 days, to Europe or in the UK. Being short and affordable, these trips appeal to both groups and individuals alike. Ideal for single people as they know they will be in good company and looked after. Trips may be by coach, train or plane, depending on duration and destination. Members of the CSSC can expect to receive a subsidy towards the cost of these trips, but non-members are very welcome to join us. The CSSC is open to all current and retired Public Sector workers. For further information about the CSSC see www.CSSC.co.uk.

Anyone fancy a little cruise next Christmas? 13-18 December.
It’s out of Tilbury on the ‘Ambience’, with Ambassador Cruise line.
It is calling in at ports in Germany, Holland and Belgium where the Christmas markets will be in full swing.
Having already done 3 Christmas Cruises with Ambassador I can really recommend this cruise.
The ship will be beautifully decorated for Christmas, and with cabins from just £449 pp for 5 nights FULL Board plus entertainment and loads of on board activities, this is a real bargain! The entertainment is fantastic, with West End quality singers and dancers, plus talks, quizzes, crafts sessions, etc etc etc.
Not only that, but if you book by 12 Feb you can take advantage of their half price drinks package offer! The package also takes care of your mandatory gratuities and it works out that your daily drinks consumption , that includes premium coffees and cocktails, would only amount to £18 per night after deducting the cost of the gratuities. So for example you could have wine with lunch and dinner, a couple of drinks in the afternoon, an aperitif before dinner, drinks in the evening etc etc all for £18 per night. Plus, if we can get a group of 15 or more, we get 5% off the advertised price of your cabins.
If you are interested in joining me and my group, please message me for further information.

Just back from a fabulous trip to Rhodes!
The Earth moved for us thanks to a 6.1 scale earthquake that shook the hotel during the night, but we and the hotel were unscathed!
A great time was had by all courtesy of Ann Rudge and ‘Living Crete Holidays’!

Thank you Ann.

Here we are within Rhodes Old Town.
