I recently went on a coach holiday with this company. Everything was on time but there can be traffic hold ups with jams and roadworks! The coach was comfortable and the driver stopped for rest periods. The hotel was a 3 star close to a spectacular beach and was adequate. The catering was excellent! I went on the excursions included in the package and visited some lovely places.

Went on Christmas markets trip to Dusseldorf, Cologne and Bonn.
Stayed at the Wyndham garden Dusseldorf Mettmann. This was meant to be a 4 star hotel.
The foyer, restaurant,reception and bar are a 4 star. However the rooms are a 2 star at best. Bedding was clean but rooms are cramped and tired and grubby and shower dirty looking.
Restaurant breakfast was fine. Although you could not order a meal on its own in the evening. The only restaurant food in the evening was a buffet at 24.50 euros.
Our drivers Dave and Mallick were brilliant drivers and friendly, professional and kept the coach tidy at all times and enough rest stops on the long journeys.

We have had a wonderful holiday to the Christmas markets. We went to 4 different markets Metz, Luxembourg, Trier and Bernkastel Kues. We were looked after really well by Liz and Nigel who were a really great team. They were both very knowledgeable regarding our visits and offered some really helpful suggestions for sightseeing and local specialities. You could tell they really enjoy what they do. Couldn't fault any part of the holiday, it was wonderful. Thank you!!

Spa F1 Belgium what can I say but amazing. Pick up at canklow followed by a long journey to Dover but plenty of stops for stretching the legs toilet and getting food.
The coach was great comfortable seats even a screen for everyone to watch a movie listen to music watch a series or just follow the journey, our drivers Neil and Steve kept us up to date and was really friendly. Explained everything to us at the ferry port and made everything run smoothly.
Our hotel the Novahotel was clean and comfortable breakfast could have been better but was ok, burger place a stone throw away was really good as don't get back till 8.30/9 Ish from the F1 track and not a bad price .

The Saturday and Sunday at the track no words to describe how good it was.

Thank you ledger travel for looking after us and sorting everything out.
Looking at booking for next year too . Hope we get the same bus and drivers.
It is a lot of travelling to and from Belgium and to and from the track with the traffic but it's well worth it
If I could change anything it would be to get a ferry earlier so we have a few hours chill time when you arrive at the hotel or time to explore

Having been on several holidays with leger over the last 6 years, I can’t rate them enough.
Yes, the travel days are long, but you’ve got to remember that you’re on a coach tour, not a plane or train, to get to the places you want to see, it does take time!

Yes your feeder coaches do take time to get to the interchange, but the higher up the country you are, naturally the longer it’s going to take!

I have NEVER had a problem with the drivers. They are always polite, courteous and accommodating. The general public are the general public, and can be very mentally tiring at times! Don’t forget the drivers are also leaving their family for weeks, sometimes months at a time, and you never know what’s going on behind the scenes after all.

Yes, the coaches have toilets on that sometimes can’t be used as full or temporarily broken. Sadly that’s just a fact that happens! Some tours are longer than others and they can’t just empty them wherever whenever! When this has happened extra toilet stops for 10/15 minutes have been added to accommodate. So yes they do listen.

The guides have always been passionate about what their teaching, and I’ve only ever had one guide who was a little bit too much! The others have all let us listen to their talks or explore where ever we are instead, (we’re all on the trips for different reasons after all).

The hotels on the battlefields tours are designed as stop over points, places to sleep, NOT places to spend days at relaxing and pondering life! But you spend the least amount of time there, and you should expect a bed and shower with a local breakfast, it’s not the ritz but why would expect it!

At the end of the day I think of the coach tours as the ability to go and see historic sites and places with tour guides who know the places, that I may never get to go and see otherwise. Yes, sometimes you want more time in certain places, but the amount of places you get to see and go, you can’t expect to spend a lot of time in one place! Don’t forget that if you want to go back in the future yourself at least you know where you want to go!

Here’s some of the photos, from varying ww1 and ww2 tours, for reference.

You get out of the tours what you put into it. Embrace the opportunities, nothing in life will ever be 100% perfect! Things in life never are!!

Joined Leger for trip to Ypres and the Somme. What a well organised trip. Everything worked like clockwork. The pick ups, the buses and drivers. Our hotel in Belgium was warm and clean with an excellent breakfast. Best of all was our guide Andrew. He was so knowledgeable about the WWII and had many amazing stories. We had 2 long days visiting many cemeteries and Battlefields. Very humbling and tragic. So many young men dying needlessly, on both sides. Everyone should visit to be made aware how fruitless war is.

Valkenberg 2-6 December 2024.
What a fantastic experience.
Hotel and hospitality absolutely brilliant.
Great holiday.
The reason it was so good was down to our drivers, John and Kieran who were amazing throughout and kept us entertained during the long drives with humour and quick wit and some fun quizzes, great banter.
Both informative and thorough and on hand if you needed anything.
They show you the utmost courtesy and are sympathetic to your individual needs.
I hope that if you travel with Leger that you get John and Kieran as your guides.
We love them both to bits and hope we are fortunate enough to meet them again.
Thanks gentlemen.
Wishing you the best always.
Seats 17-20.

Having returned from a fabulous tour of Austria with excellent tour guides/ drivers, it's disappointing to say the least that I'm left chasing a return for an excursion that was cancelled. I called Leger 5 days ago and am still waiting in a call back. Leger if you want to retain customers you need step up on service. Good training , good service costs very little, and once embedded in a company produces more income. I don't suppose anyone from Leger will respond to this, but who knows
