Fantastic Springtime trips to Europe from Rayburn Tours

Rayburn Tours has a number of wonderful destinations for bands for the Spring of 2017.

Spring Time tours from Rayburn
  There are some wonderful destinations to explore next Spring with Rayburn Tours

Rayburn Tours is offering bands the ideal opportunity to book an early Springtime break to some wonderful destinations before the summer crowds roll in.

Normandy

The spring charms of Normandy extend from its coastal landscapes and pebbly, white-chalk cliff beaches to its bustling medieval cities and lively pastoral villages.

This historical melting pot is home to the island monastery of Mont-St-Michel, the famed medieval town of Bayeux and the vibrant city of Rouen — and that's only the beginning!

Rayburn Tours' top venue recommendation:

Square des Canadiens, St Aubin sur Mer

'The concert at Saint Aubin-sur-Mer was the best moment of the trip — it was an outstanding.' — Brian Hoare, Royal Air Forces Association President's Band, Normandy 2016

Costa Brava and Barcelona

Warm spring evenings, lively bandstands and culturally-rich day trips — a band tour to Costa Brava and Barcelona is a great option for spring.

Tick off the Barcelona 'best bits' before heading off the beaten track to the town of Figueres and the coastal gems along the Costa Brava.
