    • About Getaway Vacations

      Every day my goal is to ensure our guests are treated to the best motorcoach travel experiences in the industry. When I created Getaway Vacations, I chose to offer premium travel, not discount adventures. If you choose to vacation with us I am confident you will see us the same way. Our motorcoaches are simply top-of -the line luxury including plush leather seats, multiple on-board entertainment options and those little touches like complimentary bottled water, pull-down shades and footrests.
       
      When you arrive at our destinations, we have you at only 3+ star accommodations or better and waterfront locations whenever possible. Our tour managers are 100% committed to one thing and one thing only - your enjoyment. Thank your for taking the time to read about Getaway Vacations and I am always available to discuss any questions you may have about our company. Wayne Adrian, President - Getaway Vacations

    • FAQ

      "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." Saint Augustine

       

      What amenities are in your motor coaches?

      ANSWER

      Our motor coaches are modern and luxurious with spacious leather seating and extra leg-room similar to first-class seats on an aircraft. You can expect Wi-Fi as well as a DVD player and 110 outlets. Most importantly, our coaches are climate controlled for your utmost comfort, and have fully equipped washrooms.

      Will you provide me with information on the sights along the way?

      ANSWER

      Yes. We have an experienced Tour Director on board who will fill you in on all the important sights along the way. They will also assist with information and arrangements for other excursions not part of your tour. We are happy to help with anything that will make your trip more enjoyable. Just ask us.

      How long have your drivers been in the business?

      ANSWER

      Our drivers are well-seasoned and have been taking care of travelers for over 30 years. The routes for our trips are very familiar routes to our crew.

      Can I make requests for a specific hotel floor?

      ANSWER

      Definitely. We will make sure that the hotel is aware of any specific needs that you have and they will do their best to accommodate.

      Are you able to accommodate my food allergies?

      ANSWER

      Absolutely! Please make us aware of any food allergies that you have. We can make sure that restaurants are aware where meals are included.

      I have difficulty carrying my luggage, can you help with that?

      ANSWER

      Yes we can! Each guest is allowed one bag, and we take care of loading and unloading your luggage for you, and ensure it is delivered to your hotel room.

      Can you give me a specific itinerary for the trip?

      ANSWER

      We can provide all the details, every stop and every visit with all of the expected times for each.

      Will we be stopping for several nights in one city or do we pack and move everyday?

      ANSWER

      One of the reasons our guests love our trips is that every trip has multi-night stays so you can unpack and relax. Usually we stop at the major cities for at least 2 nights and up to 5 nights. We can give you information about your specific trip so that you will see how many nights you stay in each city.

      Is every day totally planned for me?

      ANSWER

      We strike a balance between leisure time and planned tours so that you have time to enjoy what you prefer. If you would like to take in a sight that is not on the tour, we will try to arrange it for you. If possible, we will organize a group so that you can take advantage of a discount as well.

      What is your cancellation policy?

      ANSWER

      DEPOSIT: During this time of uncertainty, we want you to be certain about considering Getaway Vacations for your future travel plans. Book your spot on any of our upcoming trips with NO deposit required until we are able to fully guarantee the trip will be taking place!
