Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely perfect.

James was brilliant pre, during and post the event. Efficient detailed responses, arrived early for the day, put everyone at ease and was lovely and contacted afterwards regarding getting our purchased "souvenir" of the day and refund for food/drink deposit.

A truly fantastic experience which could not have been better.

Routemaster for our wedding

Huge thanks to James for a fantastic service on the Routemaster for our wedding in December - all of our guests had a great time on the bus. James was very responsive to all our emails in the run up to the wedding and the service on the day was great too. The journey up the hills on the way to Stow on the Wold is one we won't forget!

Superb service

Ordered the Vintage Double Decker Bus from Victoria Events for my wedding on 1/10/16.

Most of my guests travelled from afar and commented that the bus set their expectations high for our wedding. I couldn't have been happier with their professionalism and efficiency and am extremely pleased I booked with this company.

In addition to this, I also booked a coach to drop people back to their hotels at 1am and again, this was also a faultless service.

Highly recommended and wouldn't think twice about booking with Victoria Events in the future.

Thanks for making our day.

Beautiful shiny red bus, excellent and reliable service!

We couldn't have been happier with the service provided by James and his team. The red bus is SO shiny and clean, with decorations and everything. Professional and communicative service leading up to the day. Safely driven and thoughtfully planned. We had champagne on the way back from the wedding ceremony - all dealt with accommodatingly (we provided the champers and plastic glasses). Patient, smart and courteous driver and staff. The perfect way to travel!

Fantastic, friendly service.

Wanting a classier transportation option than a regular coach, I looked up alternative options online and stumbled across Victoria Events and their impressive looking routemaster bus.

I was put in contact with James who was a delight to talk to and didn't hesitate to help with any queries and special requests for the booking. The day of the event couldn't have run any smoother, James showed up bang on time and had even decorated the interior of the bus, which was a welcome suprise! The guests were all thoroughly impressed, which made the party extra memorable. I would recommend Victoria Events to anyone wanting to add that special touch to whatever it is they're planning.

Brilliant service!

A great experience with Victoria Events! Their staff are diligent and always polite. They worked hard to accommodate all my requirements for the evening.
The booking process right through to the end of the night was handled professionally. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!!
