Leger Holidays Reviews 8,043

An excellent tour with plenty of variety of experiences both cultural and environmental. Hotel was good with excellent food and pleasant staff. Our drivers, Richard and Marcus were outstanding and went above and beyond to meet all needs. The trip ran seemlessly with no problems.

I doubt if this review will ever be posted but here it goes.

Ledger present themselves on Social Media in many ways but especially by saying there trips are "Expertly planned" "Everything taken care of"

My wife and I booked to go on a Battlefield tour by coach. When I was eventually advised my pickup time I noted it was for 02:20 am on a Monday morning. I live in Cumbria in a no shop no bus village. I was given a pick up point exactly 3.3 miles from my home. Despite calling the local taxis and there are only a few, I couldn't get a drop of at 02:20 on a Monday morning. I asked ledger to help me with a home pick up and after a week of arguing they finally offered me it as a one of favor, they would do the extra 3.3 miles to my home for an additional £140 !! They assured me on the phone that they were helping me out and doing me a favor. I guess this is what they mean by expertly planned. I have now cancelled my holiday costing me £1700 (no refund offered) because we couldn't get to the pick up point. My wife and I are elderly and all we wanted was some help. We will never book a Ledger Holiday again and I would never recommend them to anyone. Those of you that have had a good holiday with them, congratulations but don't forget the people like us who did not.

The quality and sheer number of places we visited was impressive. Above all, Ricky and Chris (our drivers) were brilliant !

Our hosts were very informative throughout our 5 day trip to France. Our guide Ben explained Battle sites very in depth, information that I’ve not been aware of in books that I’ve read. A trip that I would recommend to family and friends. Superb overall.

Fabulous experience. Time lines met. Very smooth transition from booking to finishing of tour. All drivers excellent, felt very safe. The drivers from Dover to home on way back, stopped on motorway to go to the aid of two motorists who had crashed overturning their car. The drivers helped two men out of the smoking car. One driver sustained burns to his hands. Arrangements were quickly made for another driver to take over further up the motorway, so that the driver could go to A&E. I hope he is doing well.
The two drivers of the tour bus, Richard and Osmond were great. The guide Andrew Thornton was fantastic, his knowledge is astounding mixed with some humour.
The hotel was very modern, large room and large bathroom. Very clean hotel with a lovely bar area. All staff were very pleasant and courteous.
We only ate in the hotel restaurant once and enjoyed our meal, however many didn’t. The Hotel was clearly very understaffed, with them literally running around. Service was slow but not surprisingly. Breakfasts were good.
In the bar, it was obvious that this area was not being stocked up as staff having to run to the restaurant for things. Staff were also running reception and the bar. It clearly needs some higher management to address the problems. Those staff must not want to attend for their shifts knowing what awaits them.
We have had a truely fantastic experience on the tour.

Fletcher hotel, Zevenburgen was nice but very remote, it was 2 hours ( 2.5 in traffic) away from Amsterdam so we spent 5 hours travelling that day, very tiring especially for less abled people. Also i pre paid for canal cruise but it was cancelled ( which would have been the highlight of my whole trip) so had to phone Leger on return home to ask for refund. Surely it was better when the drivers just came round on coach and asked who wanted to go , then if there wasnt enough you knew it would not happen.

Excellent and very knowledgeable, friendly and professional guide, Excellent careful driving. Care and support of both drivers and guide.

Enjoyable trip on the Dutch Bulb fields with Leger Holidays . Drivers Georgie and Zanti were fantastic . The hotel was excellent . Trips were fantastic especially the trip to Keukenhof , which I absolutely loved . This was my mums first time going away with Leger Holidays and from her experience on this trip it won’t be her last . Going on the Luxuria coach made a big difference giving lots of leg room .

A full, but well organised tour, covering all of the areas advertised. Coach transfers were efficient. The hotel breakfast provided lots of choice, and hotel staff were friendly and helpful.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and provided lots of additional details to the various beaches and landing areas visited. We will certainly go on another Leger tour in future.

BULB FIELDS The hotel was much too far from the places we visited. Everyday was around a 2 hour coach ride to the place we were visiting. Then 2 hours back at the end of the day.
The half day trip to Delft and Le Hague was too rushed.
Kukenhoff Gardens was beautiful and well worth a visit.
Driver Mark and host Paul were pleasant and helpful. I think Leger should have provided more information about the places we were visiting e.g map showing drop off/ pick up.
An option of a Hull/Rotterdam crossing would be helpful. 18 hour journey home😡

I did the D-Day Beach Tour experience with Leger. The crew we had for our tour was fantastic. Ian was the tour guide and his knowledge of the events from D-Day were second to none and even through in a few extra stops to give us a better insight of what happened in 1944. The drivers, Blake and Trudy were also a great team, taking our large comfortable bus through some tricky Normandy lanes. A fantastic experience in France and to our drop-off point in Maidstone. Unfortunately our feeder coach to take us home back to Devon was a completely different experience and I will raise a complaint about this.

Very well organised and so well looked after by Bart and Kris. We were fortunate with glorious weather and the Keukenhof Gardens exceeded our high expectations. Enjoyed our visits to Amsterdam, The Hague, and Delft. Sadly only half days in these areas but at least we know that Delft is a place we would love to go back to. Our hotel, the Ibis Styles Rotterdam Ahoy was great and a good location for visiting other restaurants. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

This was my wife Julie first time abroad and has to use wheelchair. The two drivers Dave and Mark were excellent in helping us when needed and made our trip seam very special. The whole organisation from being picked up to dropping us back home was also excellent. The Hotel was also good and very helpfull. The excursions and time spent in Paris during the day and night was brilliant. The other passengers where all lovely which was helped by Dave and Mark making everyone seam special.
Well done Ledger
Steve, Julie

Excellent well organised trip all round
Could not fault it .The guide Andrew as an an excellent historian. He really made the trip for us . Lovely hotel, great staff ,

Really enjoyed our D-Day 5 day tour with the guide Ian Mason who was very knowledgeable, interesting to listen to, but didnt talk for too long or get over technical, which weve experienced in the past with Leger. He took us to lots of little places that our previous D-Day, last year didnt take us to. Blake the driver was very good, but never stopped working, poor lad, as he had an agency driver with him, so the onboard service wasn't up to your usual standard which was disappointing as weve had really good crews in the past, this wasn't Blakes fault by any means.

Hotel clean, Staff fine and helpful, breakfast good.

Might be worth considering Guides to plan lunch stops a bit earlier than 1.30 as a lot of places had either run out of food or closed for the afternoon.

And when wanting to eat in the evening in Falalise town be advised the restaurants are closed by 8pm

Due to various problems and potential delays with boarder control at Calais we had to leave the hotel extremely early in the morning to get the planned 1200 Ferry. On arrival at Stop24 we were then notified that our transfer coach to Crawley, West Sussex and the South Coast was going via Sevenoaks, Kent which added over 1 hour extra to our journey home. We were exhausted from the exceptional early start and really think this divert into Kent should have been avoided. Why couldn't a taxi be provided (as weve had in the past) for the Sevenoaks people and let the transfer coach get on the road to do the Sussex drop offs?

On the whole we enjoyed our D -Day Battlefields tour, Ian and Blake are a credit to your Company, but we felt let down by the poor on-board service and dreadfully long journey home.

We have another tour booked on 8th June this year to the Somme, hopefully our onboard tour experience and journey home will be better.

I had no idea what to expect. I have absolutely no complaints or negative comments about the trip from the moment we got picked up and transferred to the luxury coach and met our two drivers and our guide everything went on time I think one of the most important things on trip like this is the guide. Ian was our guide and he was magnificent. He brought the whole experience to life his knowledge without referring to any notes was unbelievable oh I’ve just remembered there is a negative he supported Aston Villa. I will be booking again next year and probably thereafter every year a trip in between other holidays it was magnificent thank you.

Mike is a fantastic tour leader, efficient and caring and Leger is lucky to have him. We went to lovely places and were looked after by him and Neil very well.
But the food was prety poor, which is a shame on a French trip, mostly stews and indeterminate vegetables and offered fish only onceas a vegetarian alternative.
Seats 9 and 10 are the worst on the coach. I was eye ball to eyeball with someone I'd never met, no leg room and next to the toilet. Also, the screens block the view, vibrate all the time and can't be incapacitated. Very poor design. As a general point the seats can't be adjusted and are very uncomfortable for those of us with lower back problems.

We have returned from the Grand Tour of France. Our drivers Mike and Steve were brilliant. They were very knowledgeable of the area and kept you updated with everything. On the very odd occasion they was a slight problem with the vegetarian option they sorted it out satisfactory without any fuss.

The tour itself visited the places I wanted to see. Keukenhof Gardens, Amsterdam, Delft, Den Haag. They were great. The drivers were good, as always and the hotel was excellent.
However, the hotel was in an isolated spot which meant no other places to eat an evening meal and also meant a 5 hour return journey on 2 days to get to Keukenhof and Amsterdam, we crawled through motorway traffic pretty much all the time in those journeys. Several of us found that unacceptable and exhausting.

Great Company, excellent drivers who are very knowledgable about the places you visit. We stayed in a lovely hotel in Antwerp while visiting the Dutch bulb fields. The whole holiday was a delight.
