Hi, We Are James & Lynne,
Your Friendly Tour Guides.

In March 2023 James & Lynne took over as the new directors for Palmer’s tours.

James has been working in the touring industry for 42 years now and is well known for his bubbly personality, can-do attitude and being an excellent and humble coach driver/guide for his passengers. James has extensive knowledge of the history and all things interesting about our stunning country. James is an excellent businessman, having owned his own towing and panel shop business in the past. James’ passion for the industry is what has led him to this point in his life, instead of retirement, he decided to take this next step of making this his own and doing it his way.

Whilst the touring industry is a new venture for Lynne, she has always excelled at everything she does. Possessing over 35 years in the disability industry, Lynne has always had a passion for helping people and an excellent work ethic. Lynne has always enjoyed travelling and has always wanted to work as a hostess touring around our beautiful country since her early 20s. Lynne brings along her excellent organisation skills, positive attitude, and kindness to join James, with his bubbly personality, can do attitude and extensive knowledge of the industry, in pursing the next chapter in their story together.

Along with directors James and Lynne, manager Phil Bromley joins the adventure. Phil has 35 years working within the touring industry and is the man behind the scenes organising the tours and keeping everything running smoothly while James and Lynne are out of town touring. Phil is the person that greets our customers and builds the relationships from the start of their booking process until they are ready to board the coach for their holiday.

All of our drive days are 5 hours or less, allowing you the opportunity to recline in luxury onboard amenities, meet your fellow travellers and watch the world go by.
