Nationwide shared chauffeur service included
Enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday with our return nationwide shared chauffeur service, which is included on all our university and college holidays. A chauffeur will pick you up from your home and drive you to your accommodation, and be waiting to pick you up at the end of your holiday and drive you home.
Enjoyable time with similar minded people and opportunity to stay in a city new to me. The inclusion of taxi to and from the destination was a major factor in choosing SAGA.
Philip Parker who stayed at the International College Kings School
As a first time holiday with Saga I was apprehensive about going on my own. From the very start Andy Birnie made me very welcome, was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble.
Jean Jackson who stayed at the University of Essex
Everything was beyond expectations: accommodation, food, the campus itself was better than I expected, and I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday and will book another university holiday next year.

To help you choose the right holiday for you, we grade campuses from 1-3.
Medium-sized campuses where distances between your accommodation and the dining areas and other campus facilities are up to 500 yards, with several inclines and multiple steps. Step-free routes are available.
Large campuses where distances between your accommodation and the dining areas and other campus facilities are up to 1000 yards, with several inclines and multiple steps. Although step-free routes are available, these campuses are not recommended if you have mobility issues.
All universities are different – from small campuses such as the University of Chichester, set over 32 acres, to larger campuses such as the University of Lancaster, which is set over 578 acres. We try to include as much information as possible in our holiday descriptions, plus we have a campus grading system which we hope will help you choose the right university for you.
Yes, these holidays are ideal whether you are travelling solo, with a partner or as part of a group. However, all rooms are for single occupancy.
Our nationwide shared chauffeur service is included on all our university and college holidays, and our holidays are designed with this in mind. We have chosen universities and colleges that have good transport links, by bus or by train, to all the local sites. Plus, we include two excursions, so you can see more of the cities and surroundings.
We work closely with the universities to ensure your experience matches your expectations of us. All university and college rooms are basic but comfortable. They all have en-suite bathrooms, and we include little extras to make your holiday more enjoyable, such as soap or shower gel, linen, plus servicing of your room.
Half-board meals are included. Breakfast and dinner are included and are buffet-style self-service, usually in the campus dining hall or café. Breakfast includes a selection of hot items, cereals, fruit, pastries and yoghurt, plus tea and coffee. Dinner includes a choice of three simple main courses, including a vegetarian option and a selection of salads, starters and desserts. Tea and coffee are also available.
