Client Comments and Feedback Between 2008 and 2009, over 40% of our bookings were "repeat business" from previous customers. This, we believe, speaks a lot about our enthusiasm and approach to business but, rather than "blowing our own trumpet," here's what our clients think about us... we hope you'll be impressed!
"We had a really great time thanks to your arrangements and hospitality.Fantastic week, lots of great people and great location. We will look forward to seeing you on another tour".
Simon and Elizabeth, Bentley 3 Litre, Loire Valley Summer Tour 2010
"Rosemary and I would like to thank you for a superb holiday. Everything was wonderful,
it was a pleasure to be in such delightful company and it was really no hardship being with so many
foreign cars. The brief interludes at your property were especially enjoyable and made the whole event
quite unique.Thank you for all your care and attention to detail and your consequent hard work.We trust we behaved well enough to be allowed to attend on a future occasion."
John and Rosemary, Jaguar XK150S Loire Valley Summer Tour 2010
"Many thanks for a lovely time and for your efforts in organising a memorable tour."
Raad and Nada, Mercedes SL55 AMG Loire Valley Summer Tour 2010
"Gillian and I had a really great time, thanks to your excellent organisation, enthusiasm, and general bonhomie. The 'drinks at home' were an added bonus, and supplemented the outstanding facilities at Rochecotte. This was a really good tour for us to choose as an introduction, and we are sure we the shall repeat the idea some time in the future. The balance of chateaux, fabulous gardens, some great drives (particularly the one on Saturday to the coffee break at La Chartre sur Le Loir), and interesting landmarks was just perfect.We enjoyed everyone's company, and look forward to seeing you all on another venture some time."
Peter and Gillian, Jaguar XK8 Loire Valley Summer Tour 2010
"Gladys and I had a great time due to your excellent planning of the tour, the enjoyable company of all participants, the generously offered "drinks at your home" and, last but not least, the facilities at Chateau de Rochecotte. For sure you can count us in for some future Classic Car Tour and we look forward to meeting some of the participants once again."
Peter and Gladys, Mercedes SL 350 Loire Valley Summer Tour 2010
"I won't repeat that which everyone else has written, but I would certainly like to second their enthusiasm for the holiday. It was great to have the itinerary so well organised, enabling us to relax and enjoy, rather than worry and plan. We also really appreciated the effort behind the final product, such as the general literature/brochures, the pace notes nicely bound in a file and the commemorative plaque that now sits in front of me in my study. Many thanks Brian and I am confident that we shall meet again on another tour."
Roger and Janine, Mercedes SL 350 Loire Valley Summer Tour 2010
"After this superb week in Loire with such a pleasant party and under a friendly but always on the ball organization you have assured to us all, we will not add but confirm all the good marks the participants have unanimously expressed.
