EXCELLENT Based on 224 reviews Posted on Angela SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked D&G minibus to take 14 of us to Earby Lancashire. Bus was very clean and they supply a trailer for the cases. It was a really good price and the driver was lovely. It was a 70th birthday celebration but there were a few young people in bus but the music that was played suited us all. I would really recommend these and will be using them again in the future.Posted on shannon sutherlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would 100% recommend these to anybody. Booked very last minute and they came to the rescue very reasonably priced and very friendlyPosted on sales tripe factoryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service! Hassle free booking system, was really affordable. The drivers were punctual and friendly. We thought it would be easier to have 16 people dropped off at one house, but the driver was kind enough to drop everyone off at their own houses! Also made an effort to have music on that the lads and their families liked. 10/10 will be using again in the futurePosted on Kate PurvisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
