Report
Ordered a 33 seater coach to take a group of us in Cambridge to and from a company party just outside the city. Booking process was smooth and responsive by both email and phone, and was able to tweak details like exact numbers and additional drop-off points up until the day before. I was also able to book on relatively short notice (

Greys of Ely sales assistant is very well experienced and is very forward and polite. All buses are good quality and much better than any other bus company I have used e.g. A&J coaches.

Me and my boyfriend were given the absolutely first class coach service by Shane from Greys of Ely Ltd coaches. Even though it was just a journey from a festival, he really delivered an A class service, was in a great mood and went above and beyond. Definitely 10/10!!!

I would like to say a massive thank you to Grey’s who allowed my daughter (who doesn’t normally get the bus to school) to travel on the school bus home whilst I was stuck at hospital with my son after he’d injured himself at school today. Very much appreciated your compassion.
