- How many years have you been driving together as a team? We started together as a crew in July 2024.
- Does your coach have a name? Our coach is called Luna (Living Unforgettable New Adventures).
- What inspired you to become a coach driver? I enjoy travelling, driving and meeting people – and being a coach driver ticks all the boxes.
- When you're not on the road, how do you like to spend your time? I like to spend my free time with family and friends, catching up. I also like going to the cinema and restaurants.
- What is your favourite country, destination, or tour you've driven to? ‘Picturebook Italy’ is among my favourite tours. I enjoy travelling from north to south and back again.
- What makes it your top choice? Visiting all the fabulous cities from Rome and Florence with its magnificent architecture and history to the chic town of Sorrento with its narrow streets and small independent shops. And you can’t forget the lakes and mountains of the north – spectacular scenery guaranteed!
- What's your favourite memory from a past tour? I am a Formula 1 and James Bond fan, so visiting Monaco and Monte Carlo for the first time was truly awesome. Being able to walk the F1 circuit past the world-famous casino had me smiling all day. I still get a buzz every time I go back there!
- Do you have any personal touches that make your coach feel welcoming? No personal touches as such, but you’ll be guaranteed a warm welcome, laughter and frivolity whilst on board. We try to make long transit days enjoyable with on board entertainment and we interact with our passengers to get to know them a little and to find out what they’re looking forward to on their holiday.
- If you could provide a top travel tip for our passengers, what would that be? Research your holiday as best you can beforehand so you can be properly prepared for it: what do I need to pack? What currency will I need? Do I need an overnight bag? Also, if you’re able to, join the Leger online forums for the driving crews who have them. There’s so much information on them, and you can ask questions.
- Is there anything else you would like to share with us about the tours you do? We do a variety of tours all over Europe – some we’ve done more than once while others are new to us. We will always give 100% to ensuring our passengers have an amazing holiday with unforgettable memories!
