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 />
