Booked with Anthony's Travel for my Daughters wedding and they couldn't do enough for us. The coach was spectacular, the service from Aidan and Faye in the office was excellent and a special thank you to John our driver.
Received a call from John 24 hours before the booking to introduce himself and ask about our requirements, nothing was too much trouble. The day was magical and the service received from Anthony's Travel went beyond excellent service.
An outstanding job all - thank you so much. Kind regards

This was my first time ever booking a coach for a group of friends and I won't lie it was scary, but Anthony's Travel were great. My whole group want to give a big shout out to Craig the coach driver for being… an absolute lad. Was super friendly, welcoming and had some great chat. Coach itself was gorgeous, we were blown away by the microwave lol. I will definitely be using Anthony's Travel again!

Contacted Anthony’s travel to complain regarding not having disabled access bus available on a Saturday on the hospital bus that runs from Halton hospital to Warrington hospital. I spoke to a man called Richard who went above and beyond to assist and could not have been more helpful or understanding to our situation, so much so that I deleted a dissatisfaction comment. Thank you, in this current climate, it’s so lovely to know that there are such lovely people out there.
