“This company is the best for day tours. Use them regular and their drivers go above and beyond just driving. First class service.”
“I’m passing on thanks from Lauren who organised the trip on Saturday. She said the driver, Doug, was brilliant. He was very helpful and great with the girls and leaders – even singing along with them. And very patient! Even helped give out the snacks to the girls. And the coach as always was first class. That’s why we always use your great company. All the leaders were saying tonight how good he was and the girls thought he was great too.”
“Only recently found Milligan’s tours. Went on a tour last year to York, booked up a couple again for this year. Totally recommend, fantastic bargains, superb hotels and locations, great drivers. Will be a returning guest now that I have found them”
“Was on the Liverpool trip. Had a wonderful time. Hassle free having everything arranged for us. Driver Tam was excellent and very helpful, Would highly recommend a trip with Milligan’s.”
“We’ve just had a fantastic few days away to Grantown-on-Spey with Caroline as our driver. She kept us entertained throughout and couldn’t do enough for us all, not to mention her excellent driving on the highways and byways. Lovely hotel and great day trips around the stunning Highlands. Thank you.”
“Milligans is a local Ayrshire company and we have used them many times over the years. We usually do the theatre trips with Milligans as it’s by far the easiest and cheapest way to see the theatre shows at Edinburgh playhouse. The buses are very luxurious, we have never had any problems with them and are definitely value for money!”
