Just wanted to drop you and your drivers (and obviously forward it to Ian) a big thank you email. The timing and conduct of your team of drivers for our wedding on Sunday 30th October was excellent.

I hope they enjoyed themselves as much as we did and hope they had no complaints and if they did let me know please. Thanks once again for a great service and taking away my transport headaches away! Bye! Gash Bhullar

Ceri Ryan (Newport Horticultural Society)

Dear Cresta Coaches


I am writing to say a big thank you for our driver Dave on our visit to Highclear. A good driver can make or break a day out, and yesterday he was a star. Throughout the day he was attentive and his driving skills were excellent, I wish to thank him personally for his patience with my ladies, they all loved him.
Also at the end of the day he did his best to ensure a lady taken ill was attended to by the paramedics, and waited until all was under control. His actions yesterday are a credit to himself and you as a company.
If you will pass on my thanks and that of my ladies please. The lady concerned is now resting in hospital awaiting results of tests etc. Finally can I put in a request for Dave to drive us again please?
Regards

What a fantastic company you are!!!
My wife and I used your company to take our friends and family from Cardiff to bonny Scotland (gretna green) to get married on 14th June 2010.
From the very start of the journey, what can we say, David was the most helpful, kindest driver. He went out of his way to ensure that we were all comfortable and happy
throughout the journey.  Nothing was too much trouble. The coach was sparkling for the wedding
day, our guests truly arrived in style. Ourselves, family and friends felt as though David (Dai) was one of the family from the very start.
This gentleman should be knighted!!!  We would also like to thank Lisa for all her help with regards to the booking,
she made it so easy and absolutley stress free for us. Lisa Rocks!!
We cannot thank you enough for your services, we will definitley be recommending Cresta
Coaches always.
