A CITY & VILLAGE TOURS SLEEPOVER PACKAGE

Victoria’s Diamond Isle

5 days

We’ve been taking groups to the Isle of Wight on day trips for more than a decade - now we relish the opportunity to bring you a whole week of wonders on Victoria’s Diamond Isle.

This five day SleepOver includes executive coach travel and ferry crossings for up to 53 people, four nights dinner, bed and breakfast at a hotel facing Sandown’s golden beach with evening entertainment on offer and a stimulating and varied programme of sightseeing including two days out with a top notch Blue Badge Guide.

Day One: After a midday ferry crossing enjoy a three hour visit to Queen Victoria’s beloved summer home Osborne House furnished with money raised by selling off the Royal Pavilion at Brighton.

Arrive at the hotel by 5.00pm and check in with complimentary tea & coffee. Each night a three-course, three-choice dinner with coffee is served in the hotel.

Day Two: 10.00 to 4.30pm Blue Badge guided tour starting with an exhilarating Island panoramic taking in downlands and soaring cliffs, fishing villages, long beaches and farms fringed by woodland. Visits to Mottistone, Dimbola Lodge, free time for lunch at Yarmouth with an afternoon on the beach or optional two-hour walk with the guide across Tennyson Down to Freshwater Bay.

Day Three: Free day. Enjoy the beautiful sandy beach that faces the hotel or take the train to Ryde, Shanklin or Brading.

Day Four: Blue Badge guide 10.00am to 4.30pm On today’s itinerary we explore more of the varied island landscapes in the company of a true island expert with visits to Ventnor Botanic Garden and Carisbrooke Castle and we go fossil hunting with an expert on the Dinosaur Island.
