Testimonials

Darren Fenny

“I would just like to say what an absolute pleasure it has been to have Alpine Travel work with us over the last week while we filmed The Crown in North Wales. The buses and coaches were smart, clean, luxurious and stood out beautifully.  Your drivers were great; they got on with the work, didn’t grumble and were there when we needed them, the whole time with a smile on their face. Martin is a guy no one here in London will ever forget, he is now a legend

"I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work, all the lads are a 100% a credit to your company. I for one will be pushing to recommend you to any other movie productions coming your way"

"We have been using Excelsior Coaches this season, and what a revelation.  Always on time if not early drivers are smart polite and very helpful.  Any detours we make on route to collect players is no trouble.  We've always arrived on time even when the traffic has caused delays

The company are always flexible and will accommodate any requests we have, the 24 hour hotline is helpful and polite"
