Mynt Travel Tours
What to expect...
We like to do things a little differently at Mynt, so you can expect everything to be taken care of when you book a tour with us, we can even book your inbound flights and/or rail travel if you need us to! We only work with one coach operator so we have a great relationship with them and their drivers, they know the standards we expect and we know they'll be maintained. We hand pick the best hotels and excursions for your trip, often from local people that we know very well.
You'll be greeted by your dedicated coach driver and tour guide at any UK Airport or Train Station and they'll be with you for the duration of your tour. There's a good combination of quality excursions and time at leisure for you to explore in your own way. Plus, each customer will have dedicated support 24/7 via their chosen method of contact, whether that's Social Media, WhatsApp or by phone.
