Coach Trip 6 was the sixth series of Coach Trip in the United Kingdom. It was filmed from July until August 2010 (before the Arab Spring protests began) and aired from 14 February to 25 March 2011. The voting system rules reverted to those of earlier series. The length of this series was the same as the previous non-celebrity series but with weekends excluded. The tour visited Mediterranean countries like series 2 but with visits to Switzerland added for a month. Tour guide Brendan Sheerin, coach driver Paul Donald, narrator Dave Vitty and the coach with registration number MT09 MTT all returned for this series, which was aired on Channel 4 with a similar start to series 2 and a similar end to series 4.

Notes

^1 Jasmine & Rara were removed with a red card on Day 10 for inappropriate behaviour during the previous night, including being drunk and disorderly, verbally abusing the hotel staff, doing a striptease in front of the hotel, and apparently damaging another guest's car. Moreover, they refused to get out of bed or admit any wrongdoing on the morning of Day 10, leading to their red card previously held by Alan & Lorenzo of series 2.
^2 Jaki & Janice were removed with a red card on Day 22 for overtaking the Day 21's vote and as they canvassed for votes during the day due to being tired and annoyed with their fellow passengers.
^3 On Day 25, due to the announcement of the red terror and the bullfighting activity, Brendan instated the voting rule previously introduced on Day 24 of series 3 and Day 5 of series 1 of celebrity coach trip - on vote time the couple who received the most votes would get an immediate red card, this happened to be Karen & Ben.
^4 Wayne & Emma walked at the beginning of Day 29 due to a foot injury.
