Private European coach tours with Redwing

Redwing Coaches can take you and your group almost anywhere in Europe for a private tour. One of our drivers, Jason Fairhead, took this beautiful picture at Berchtesgaden in Germany during a private tour operated for the National D-Day Museum.
Located on the German border with Austria, Berchtesgaden is best known as the location of Hitler's mountain retreat and the Eagle's Nest, a mountain top lodge built by the Nazis. The houses of Hitler and his right hand men were largely obliterated by RAF bombing during World War II, but the Eagle's Nest survived and is now a tourist attraction.
For experienced drivers like Jason, touring throughout Europe is second nature. You couldn't be in better hands. Every month we have numerous departures to destinations all over Europe. With the convenience of door to door travel, avoiding tedious airport check-in and transfers, it's a great way to travel to Europe.
Visit our European Tours page for more details.
If you would like to take your group to Europe, please call Tanya Matthews or Leslie Okyne, our friendly Sales Managers, on 020 7733 1124 and they'll be delighted to discuss your plans, explain the options and give you a quote for your trip.

16 new coaches now in service
One of 16 new Mercedes Benz Tourismo coaches delivered to Redwing Coaches in January 2010.
Back in July we ordered 16 brand new Mercedes Benz Tourismo coaches, for delivery in January 2010.
Over the last few weeks we've taken delivery of them, three or four at a time to give our engineering staff a chance to check them over thoroughly and bring them into service.
Now all 16 new coaches are in service on schedule, replacing 16 existing coaches and ensuring, as usual, that Redwing Coaches has one of the youngest and most technologically advanced fleets of coaches in Europe.
Twelve of the new coaches are 49 seater executive coaches with WC and other refinements, and four are 53 seater standard coaches without WC.

Hi-tech seats make long journeys a breeze

Over many years, seat designers have refined every aspect of a typical coach seat.
They're now more comfortable, more ergonomic, stronger, more technically advanced and better to look at than they've ever been before.
The seats in our new Mercedes Benz Tourismos are a good example. Stylishly upholstered in a velour-texture cloth, the seats hold you comfortably in place during your trip. Long journeys are a breeze and the miles fly by.
Leather headliners contrast attractively with the seat fabric, offering comfort and also durability, as people naturally tend to grab hold of seat tops as they move around a coach. A folding armrest next to the aisle ensures easy access to the seat and grab handles are fitted to the seat in front of you to help you access your seat or move down the aisle.
All coaches are now required by law to fit seat belts, although Redwing were specifying seat belts long before it was a legal requirement.
If you haven't been on a coach for a few years you'll be surprised how greatly things have improved. Give our Sales Managers, Tanya Matthews or Leslie Okyne, a call on 020 7733 1124 and they'll answer any questions you may have.

There are many coach enthusiasts in the UK who keep detailed records of various coach companies' coach fleets, in a similar way to 'plane spotters and train enthusiasts.
This very rare example of a Redwing coach in white livery with red logotype will surprise them!
We also have a number of eyecatching black coaches, in the livery of Addison Lee, our parent company, and several coaches in the liveries of well known tour operators.
Another option available to clients is to have your Redwing coach 'wrapped' with eyecatching graphics covering part or all of the coach body to promote your company or product.
