Ploegos Travel And Tours

 

Seasonal Special Excursions,

Available from 1st February 2004 until 15th April 2004

This is an example of the springtime programme we offer. There may be changes due to weather conditions or other situations beyond our control. Sometimes we make changes as we travel because we become aware of road works and other situations that will either increase or decrease your enjoyment of the moment. We will try at all times to offer you the best possible options on the day and to keep you informed of any alteration to the programme.
