Coach Holidays, UK Hotel Breaks & River Cruises

About Us

Complete Peace of Mind

In these uncertain times, it’s more important than ever to travel with a company you know and trust. Book with Shearings and you can rest assured that your holiday will be protected by our membership of ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents), and also by our licence with ATOL (Air Travel Organisers' Licensing) if you’re travelling by air.

We also belong to several other trade organisations, including the FTO (Federation of Tour Operators), CPT (Confederation of Passenger Transport UK), PSA (Passenger Shipping Association) and ACE (Association of Cruise Experts). We’re a founder member of BEST (Better Escorted Touring), a body comprising the country’s leading escorted tour operators.

With over 100 years’ experience, we know what makes a great holiday. But don’t just take our word for it… we were voted Best Escorted Tours Operator in the British Travel Awards in 2008 and 2009, Best Coach Operator in the 2010 Globe Travel Awards, and Best Coach Operator for Groups: Large Fleet in the Group Travel Awards in 2009 and 2010 – recognition that we really are the best in the business.
