RED EYE TOURS

I recently discovered a firm in London UK www.redeyetours.co.uk
who do day and weekend trips by coach. However I can't get through on the phone and so far they haven't answered my email.
Does anyone out there know if they are still operating and have any of you had experience with them?
I quite fancy a day trip (10 hours in town) which would be great as I can't afford a longer stay this year and need my fix lol

Probably cheaper to grab a cheapo flight, fly out early morning and back later on the night. You will probably get a good 12hrs of fun in, i have done it many times from birmingham. No luggage just carry on and your off, bit tired towards the end but well worth it.

thanks for the info. I may book a cheap flight but the ferry also appeals.
I only wanted to book the other coach firm I mentioned as they pick up a stoners throw from my home. But hey ho I will get there one way or another

the ferry has the huge advantage of allowing huge consumption levels on the way back via the top deck outside (but its some time since I tried it TBH), or pockets full of space cake to be munched throughout the voyage....hehe

I have no idea about RETs but it doesn't sound reputable to me. If you are going to pay someone money for something, the number one thing is you need to be able to contact them.

not saying they aren't legit, just saying look elsewhere.

Thats over 8 hours sat on a coach in the same position for eight like 8 hours... thru the night...

Money, passport, ACD map....... mate to drive to nearest airport, Cheap flight,45 mins in same seat and same seated position, train from schipol, coffeeshop....... spend money and SMOKe... Easy and to get back home just do the reverse....

The ferry trips are convenient but if you get too pissed in the bar the hangover next day can sometimes spoil your smoking experience.

Whichever you choose have a great trip.

I find it easy to sleep on a coach and as for getting pissed, I never do. I never could drink & smoke as I always end up head down in the toilet lol
I checked out the prices of cheap flights and they aint so cheap at the mo grrrrrrr

I'll just have to keep looking
