WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT US….<br />
“We have just returned from <strong>you</strong>r London <strong>to</strong>ur <strong>and</strong><br />
would like <strong>to</strong> say how very much we have enjoyed<br />
it. From start <strong>to</strong> finish it was great. Your driver<br />
John was very efficient <strong>and</strong> his knowledge of<br />
London was excellent. The hotel was very good<br />
– one of the best we have stayed in on a short<br />
break. The <strong>to</strong>ur of Parliament was excellent <strong>and</strong><br />
the Classical Spectacular was superb. All in<br />
all a magnificent weekend.”<br />
“Thank <strong>you</strong> for making our holiday special,<br />
our first time by coach <strong>and</strong> it won’t be the last!<br />
From the booking <strong>to</strong> the homecoming<br />
all was friendly <strong>and</strong> easy; the hotel <strong>and</strong><br />
food fabulous <strong>and</strong> our driver was friendly<br />
<strong>and</strong> professional, nothing <strong>to</strong>o much trouble<br />
for him. 10/10.”<br />
“….. how much we enjoyed the trip <strong>to</strong> Diano Marina<br />
<strong>and</strong> the South of France in April. We thoroughly<br />
enjoyed the days out .. <strong>and</strong> would like <strong>to</strong> thank <strong>you</strong><br />
for the courtesy shown <strong>and</strong> the very good driving.”<br />
“Thank <strong>you</strong> so much for another super holiday<br />
– third time lucky for us <strong>to</strong> vi<strong>sit</strong> Roses <strong>and</strong> it<br />
lived up <strong>to</strong> our expectations. The hotel <strong>and</strong><br />
staff were excellent, the trips <strong>to</strong> Barcelona<br />
<strong>and</strong> Girona very interesting <strong>and</strong> at last<br />
we had time <strong>to</strong> vi<strong>sit</strong> the cathedral ……<br />
Our driver was very helpful <strong>and</strong> attentive<br />
throughout…. hope <strong>to</strong> travel with <strong>you</strong><br />
again soon.”<br />
