Phoenix Concert Band - Group Organiser – Concert & Band Groups
“As a group we travelled to the Moselle Region of Germany in July of this year. This was our second such tour, the first having been a successful concert tour of the Rhineland Region based in Boppard. Again we were very pleased with the booking arrangements and requested the same Coach Driver, who was like another member of the group and extremely knowledgeable and supportive.
The whole process of planning was made extremely easy and any special request was dealt with professionally, promptly and efficiently.
