Discover the vision and passion that drives Kevin Allen's Grand Detour. We're here to offer you an unparalleled travel experience.

European travel - with a difference.

Kevin Allen is a retired writer and film director, who decided to learn to drive a coach.  Fed up with airport mayhem, and frustrated by the impersonal, rushed nature of typical European holiday travel, Kevin conceived his Grand Detour with the aim to provide a more relaxed way to explore the great cities and hidden gems of the UK and Europe.

So, No chaotic airports. No rush. Totally stress-free. Forget the idea of just getting to a destination as fast as humanly possible. The Grand detour is revamping the Coach Tour -offering  a value-for-money experience for travellers seeking a genuinely enjoyable and interesting holiday.

Relaxation and creativity

On a Grand Detour, relaxation and creativity are at the heart of every tour, bringing like-minded people together. Unlike traditional coach tours that often rush travellers through destinations with sub-par accommodation, we prioritise comfort, quality, and a leisurely pace. We believe your holiday should be an experience of  enjoyment and enrichment, offering superb value for money without compromise.

"Kevin Allen's Grand Detour tours are a breath of fresh air. Finally, a holiday that truly lets you relax and enjoy the journey!"
