Thank you everyone at York Pullman bus company who helped with surprises for our wedding guests. Everyone loved the vintage classic bus ride into town and back Hope that your driver and conductress enjoyed the singing (we’re all going on a summer holiday isn’t the most original!) 😁. Your team members were fantastic, thank you in particular for their assistance provided to my 90 year old mum who has some mobility issues, you were very patient and helpful. I would recommend these guys for any function 👍

I hired this wonderful open top 1960s bus for my son's wedding and it was absolutely perfect for transporting 24 guests up to Ravenscar for photos and back to the Scarborough Town Hall for the ceremony. The driver and attendant were incredible throughout, ensuring guests could cross the road safely and adhere to social distancing and chatting to the guests!! They then returned us home via the scenic route along the seafront. It was a brilliant experience from start to finish. Thank you York Pullman Bus Co - I will certainly recommend you.
