Client testimonial

"Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to yourself, Kings Ferry and not least of all the fabulous Rachel for helping make my 50th birthday celebration dream come true. The coach was fantastic, very comfortable and clean, and Rachael was amazing she was the right choice for our party and she blended in with us extremely well. Please extend my thanks to her and tell her that we all thought she was amazing.

Rachel is a very safe and experienced driver and we all felt very confident with her driving abilities – when we said goodbye she said roll on 60 - I can honestly say that I would have no hesitation in recommending both Rachel and Kings Ferry (as I have done already) for any event."
