Bakers Dolphin has been a trusted name in British coach travel since 1889, when Charles Baker started a hire business in Weston-super-Mare. Today the company offers a wide range of escorted coach holidays spanning short breaks and extended tours to destinations across the UK, Ireland, and Europe, with hand-picked hotels and experienced driver/couriers throughout.
From a relaxing few days on the English coast at Bournemouth to an exploration of the Scottish Highlands or the green landscapes of Ireland, Bakers Dolphin covers a broad sweep of British and Irish destinations. Trips are available in a range of durations -- typically 3, 5, or 7 nights -- making it easy to find a break that fits your schedule, whether you prefer a quick getaway or a longer touring holiday.
For travellers looking further afield, Bakers Dolphin arranges European tours and cruise packages. A Mediterranean cruise, an Alpine journey, or a city-break on the continent are all part of the programme. Door-to-door coach travel takes the stress out of driving and parking, while carefully selected hotels ensure comfort at every stop along the route.
Bakers Dolphin operates modern coaches equipped with the latest in passenger comfort. All UK coach holidays are fully ABTOT bonded, giving travellers complete financial protection from the moment of booking. The company has been a member of the Guild of British Coach Operators and holds Coachmarque accreditation, reflecting its commitment to high standards of safety and service.
Bakers Dolphin traces its roots to 1889, when Charles Baker began a horse-drawn hire business in Weston-super-Mare. Motor coach leisure trips started in 1923, making the company one of the longest-established coach operators in the UK. The Bakers and Dolphin Travel brands merged in 1984 to form the business known today.
