Day 3 Mariánské Lázně & Karlovy Vary

Location: Mariánské Lázně & Karlovy Vary


Today’s included excursion first travels into the centre of Mariánské Lázně, where you'll have free time to explore. Also known as Marienbad, the town is considered a pearl of western Bohemia.


Surrounded by green forests and boasting around forty natural springs, it has become the second largest town in the Czech Republic. Enjoy a stroll around the charming streets, soaking up the wealth of architectural treasures and immaculate gardens on offer.


This afternoon, why join our optional tour to the popular resort of Karlovy Vary, also known as Carlsbad, for a guided sightseeing tour? The town has twelve main hot thermal springs which are still in use, and you can smell the water as you walk alongside the colonnades.

Day 4 České Budějovice

Location: České Budějovice


This morning, we head southwards to České Budějovice, better known as Budweis – the city of beer. The tradition of brewing beer stretches back into the distant past when the Celts inhabited Central Europe, and the brewing of beer in České Budějovice dates back to 1265. The original version of the beer 'Budweiser' comes from the town.


Enjoy some free time exploring this afternoon, and take in the pastel-coloured buildings and Main Square.

Day 5 Český Krumlov

Location: Český Krumlov


Today we include a visit to Český Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which lies nestled on the banks of the Vltava River. The historical, medieval centre and many of the Baroque buildings remain very well-preserved.


Why not join our optional guided walking tour? The guide will introduce you to sights such as the Old Town and Concord Square.


The remainder of the day is at leisure for you to explore at your own pace.

Day 6 Prague

Location: Prague


Today, we travel to our hotel in Prague. After settling in, we travel into the centre of Prague, where you have the chance to take in a different view of this incredible city by enjoying an optional cruise on the Vltava River. Lasting for approximately two hours, the cruise will take you along this majestic waterway, past spectacular views of the famous landmarks of the capital. Lunch will be served on board with a selection of warm and cold Czech specialities, so sit back on the sundeck and admire the outstanding sights of the 'City of a Hundred Spires'.


The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure for you to explore on your own.

Day 7 Prague

Location: Prague


Enjoy an included guided walking tour of the main sights of this historic city, the Czech Republic's beautiful capital, known as the 'City of a Hundred Spires'. Take in the splendid views across the Vltava River, see the Castle District and the famous Charles Bridge, and stroll through the colourful Old Town Square. Be sure to see the Astronomical Clock, on the Old Town Hall Tower, which strikes the hour at 9, 10 and 11am, and sets in motion the procession of the Twelve Apostle figures.


There are so many interesting buildings to admire, making this a wonderful city to wander through at leisure.

I went on the 4 countries trip and swiss glacier express and overall it was a great trip. The coach I was on was silver service, it was tidy had nice seats and other accessories such as charging points and headsets which was very handy. The drivers Alex and Dave were fantastic, very kind, funny and respectful throughout the whole trip and a pleasure to talk to. The excursions were very pleasant and all ran very smoothly. The hotels were decent and offered a good service. I overall very much recommend leger holidays.

Excellent customer service

10-Jan-2023

Booked our ‘Christmas in Austria & Scenic Trains of the Tyrol’ through George on the customer Helpline. Nothing was too much trouble, everything clearly & patiently explained. He even had permission to log in on his day off to finalise the sale! A charming and helpful young person and a credit to the company.

Been on two tours now the “D Day beaches” and “ All Quiet on the Western Front” tour of the Somme and Ypres. Both four days in total, two travelling and two on the site of the various battles. This is outstanding value for money, picked up from Carlisle , Cumbria and literally looked after all the way through the tours. The coaches are great and the accommodation spot on . The guides are very knowledgeable ( Mark Hope brilliant guy)and the bus drivers professional . Absolutely fantastic .

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.

just returned from Italian holiday....

21-Jul-2024

just returned from Italian holiday. It was great spoilt a little by the high temperature even Ledger can't control that. The only real thing to spoil the trip was one of the hotels. The Krystall hotel in Diano Marina was terrible the room was dire with cracks in shower bogged up shower fittings noe control for AC end so on. The food was very poor, limited choice luke warm food on cold plates. After 4 evening meals (3 or four courses) we were only able to remember 2 we enjoyed. Breakfast was poor no bread except for hard rolls. No fresh fruit if you liked cake for breakfast you were good. If this is a 3 star hotel Italian standards have fallen which I don't think they have. Ledger brochure states "some of Europes most fascinating unique hotels" for Luxuria trips. This hotel should be removed from your list at once. The holiday was other wise good I cannot praise your coach crew too to much they were excellent. A highlight of the trip was the return trip through the swiss alps. It was superb and deserves mention in your holiday iteniary description.

I recently went on a 4 night tour to Scarborough. Driver was great hotel superb. My criticism is too many destinations crammed into day excursion. Example visit to Flamborough head stop for 1 hour it was teeming nobody got off coach but even if fine pointless. Then on to Bridlington coach Park 1.5 ml from centre. Most people are hard pressed to get to center & back in 1.5 hours pointless. Incidentally if Leger paid a permit they could alight us in the resort. Very bad logistics. On to Whitby with a decent stop should have taken us there & bypassed the other stops. I will not go with them again. I will source a better holiday with excursions to one place only.

25-Mar-2024

just returned from a solos break to valkenburg and rhine valley i enjoyed the break overall although both journeys were considerably longer than expected due to several picks ups. I could have done without the 3 countries meeting point excursion to be honest and the lunch on rhine cruise was very basic. The drivers/couriers were efficient and good humoured and provided free lunch vouchers on the ferry which were much appreciated. I probably would book another break with leger but to somewhere a lot closer to home.

We booked a holiday to...

09-Aug-2024

We booked a holiday to Edinburgh with some excursions. In the travel agents we booked the excursion to sterling which we didn’t do as they went to Loch Lomond instead. The drivers Mike and Heidi were not very polite at times. Moaning that they weren’t allowed to sell alcohol to passengers and then trying to on the sly. Mike quote “if I leave this and £3 appears then great” They read off Google for facts and read like they couldn’t be bothered. Which there was very little facts passed along. We did an excursion to glassglow which was 20 mins away from our hotel. We left at 13:00 meaning we only got around 3 hours there. The trip was lots of people in their 70s meaning they walk slow, some with mobility issues. So not a lot of time there. The Edinburgh tattoo was fantastic but again we left the hotel at 13:00 meaning less time there. When we asked about why we left late they just huffed and said because of legal hours for drivers. While I appreciate this and they need a break there were two drivers. Meaning one could drive the night before and the other the next day meaning we are not left sat around the hotel untill 13:00 each day with very little to do in this area of eaglesham. This was my first trip with ledger and I am very dissatisfied and disappointed at this mainly due to the drivers. The trip was far from cheap and there was no value for money I feel.
