We had a wonderful time at Tina on Sunday, the show was incredible. Everything ran smoothly, from booking the trip to finally seeing the show. Our driver was friendly and ensured we were well looked after. The bus arrived promptly on time and was a very smooth journey. We can’t wait for our next trip, and we are looking to book more upcoming shows with you too!

Another great trip to London show Pretty Woman. Cannot fault De Vere Travel at all. Pick up on time, pleasant driver. Drop off and pick up from theatre perfect. Great seats at both shows I have been to. Looking forward to Moulin Rouge in January. Good value for money.

What a lovely trip to the theatre we had to see 9 to 5 The Musical. I was very impressed with your driver he was brilliant especially by making sure people got to their cars and houses safely when we were dropped off. A first class service and highly recommended.
