Coach Holidays

Coachholidays.com was first launched way back in 1997, and has since grown to become the leading coach holidays website in the UK with the largest customer database, biggest choice of operators and highest number of bookings. We have been selling coach holidays in Croydon since 1948, and in that time we have sold well in excess of £100 million worth of holidays. We take great pride in being able to offer our customers the very best deals available, and work with a selection of highly respected coach tour operators. Each operator has been carefully chosen, and inclusion on our website is strictly by invitations only.

With over 70 years of hands on experience, we are very proud to be working with the best coach operators in the UK. We are pleased to say that coachholidays.com saves our many thousands of loyal customers, well over £1 million each year.

Wallace Arnold Worldchoice

We are an independent family owned travel agency. We first operated coach tours in 1937 as Homeland Tours but had to suspend operations in 1939 due to the outbreak of war. It was difficult to obtain suitable new vehicles after the war and it was decided to sell the goodwill of the coach tour business to Wallace Arnold Tours of Leeds but retain our travel agency.

Wallace Arnold, however, did not wish to open their own office in London and asked Homeland Tours to continue as their reservations office for South East England. Wallace Arnold started operating from Croydon and central London in 1948 with two departures per week. Within a few years however their operation had increased so dramatically that it became the majority of Homeland Tours business and the trading name was changed to Wallace Arnold Tours.

It was later changed to Wallace Arnold Worldchoice when we joined the Worldchoice consortium of independent travel agencies. In 2005 Wallace Arnold Tours Ltd and Shearings Holidays were merged to form WAShearings, the largest coach holiday operator in the UK, with over 40 of their own hotels. We continue to act as an agent for the combined company and their extensive programmes feature on this site.

We pride ourselves on giving excellent customer service, the widest choice, and competitive prices. With our team of experienced staff and the latest technology we are the number one agent for a number of UK operators.

In 2012, we unveiled our sister site Tour and Explore, which specialises in the more adventurous and aspirational types of escorted tour, to a huge variety of exotic destinations.
