There’s something truly special about a well-planned day out. No overnight stays, no stress about parking, and no need to worry about the details, just a relaxing escape with friendly faces and a full itinerary. At Archers Travel, we take care of everything, so all you must do is turn up and enjoy the ride.
If you’re joining us on a day trip soon, or thinking about booking one, here are a few helpful tips to make the most of your time with us.
1. Pack Smart – but Light
Our trips are designed to be easy and comfortable, so there’s no need to bring much. A small bag with the essentials, like a bottle of water, your glasses, a small snack, and any medication you may need, is plenty. Don’t forget your camera or phone if you enjoy capturing the day!
2. Dress for the Weather (and the Coach)
Comfort is key. Wear loose, layered clothing so you can adjust easily if the weather changes or the coach feels warm or cold. Comfortable shoes are a must, especially if the trip includes a bit of walking.
3. Be Punctual and Keep in Touch
We kindly ask that you arrive at your pick-up point about 5 minutes before the scheduled departure time. We always aim to run on time, but things like traffic can occasionally cause delays. If that happens, we’ll do our best to contact anyone waiting. Likewise, if you’re running late, please let us know as soon as possible so we can try to inform the driver. While we can usually wait a few minutes, we’re unable to hold the coach for long, to keep the day on schedule, we aim to leave no later than 5 minutes after the planned pick-up time.
4. Travel Companions Not Required
Coming alone? You won’t feel it for long. Many of our travellers come solo and quickly find themselves chatting, laughing, and making new friends on board. Our trips are perfect for those looking to get out and socialise in a welcoming, friendly environment.
5. Relax and Enjoy the Journey
The scenic journey is part of the experience. Sit back, enjoy the views, and let someone else do the driving. We always allow for comfort breaks, and our coaches are equipped to make the ride as smooth as possible.
6. Make a Memory
Whether it’s a day at the seaside, a heritage house, or a countryside market, our trips are full of memorable moments. Bring a notebook if you like jotting things down, or simply soak it all in. And don’t forget to share your favourite part of the day with your driver and on social media, we love hearing your feedback!
