Your getaway drivers Blake & Chris
Blake and Chris know how to keep the wheels turning and the good times rolling. Their teamwork is the secret ingredient behind every smooth getaway.
-
- How many years have you been coach driving? It has been five years now.
- How many years have you been driving with our company? I have been driving with Leger for a year and a half.
- How many years have you been driving together as a team? Chris and I have been driving together for around 6 months.
- Does your coach have a name? She’s called Delilah.
- What inspired you to become a coach driver? During Covid, I worked as a bus driver in London. I became bored of driving around seeing the same sights every day, so decided to move into the coaches – and now I have so much variety in my work!
- When you're not on the road, how do you like to spend your time? Usually when I’m not working, I like to relax and meet up with my friends.
- What is your favourite country, destination, or tour you've driven to? I like many of the Leger tours. I wouldn’t say I have a favourite but, if I had to whittle it down, I would say Imperial Capitals – Prague, Vienna & Budapest or Picturebook Italy.
- What makes it your top choice? I love the three cities we visit on the Prague, Vienna, Budapest tour, as they’re fantastic places to spend a full day. Picturebook Italy is another fantastic tour, as we get to head around the major sights in Italy. I love visiting Florence and Sorrento, and there’s just so much to see and do on this tour!
- What's your favourite memory from a past tour? There’s been a lot, but the main thing I love to see is the whole coach getting along. We once had the everyone on board singing and just having a good time while we were on a travel day.
- If you could provide a top travel tip for our passengers, what would that be? Always bring travel plugs, and bear in mind Italy and Switzerland use different style of wall plugs. Also, if you need one, make sure you have purchased a roaming pass for your phone before you leave the UK, so you don’t get hit with a massive phone bill when you return home.
-
- How many years have you been coach driving? It's been six years.
- How many years have you been driving with our company? I have been driving for Leger for seven months.
- How many years have you been driving together as a team? Blake and I have been driving as a team for seven months now.
- Does your coach have a name? Our coach is called Delilah.
- What inspired you to become a coach driver? It started with my family members working on the buses, which made me interested in doing it myself. After a year on the buses, I took to coaches and loved it. I enjoy meeting new passengers, interacting with them and getting to know them over the tour.
- When you're not on the road, how do you like to spend your time? When at home, I like to spend time with family and meet up with friends.
- What is your favourite country, destination, or tour you've driven to? I would say my favourite tour so far is the Delights of Puglia.
- What makes it your top choice? This is my top choice because the scenery is out of this world. You have a full 16 days to explore the south of Italy and experience the different types of food.
- What's your favourite memory from a past tour? One of my favourite memories is when I did the Picturebook Italy tour and everyone on the coach had a singalong.
- Do you have any personal touches that make your coach feel welcoming? The two drivers!
- If you could provide a top travel tip for our passengers, what would that be? Always remember to bring plug adaptors.
