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!
