It is great to see some coach tours and excursions getting under way again. Parry’s International had two trips running on the first weekend in August and the passengers loved it!

Following the trip, Dave Parry received the following message from a satisfied customer: “We have just returned from our one night Mystery Weekend and wanted to say a very Big Thank you to everyone concerned at Parry’s International and the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel for making a most enjoyable break after a very difficult time throughout Covid-19.

My sister and myself were most appreciative of having the opportunity to travel with Parry’s and having ‘normality’ again. Chris, the driver, is always a pleasure to go with and we always feel in ‘safe hands ‘ with him on the road.

“You have given a little bit of hope back to people in the community and it is certainly a necessity in this day and age to have holidays and breaks to look forward to.”

And there were some great reviews on Parrys’ facebook page including one who said: “Every Parry’s trip I go on is always brilliant and the mystery tour this weekend was no exception! Well done and thank you to the crew this weekend who worked so hard making sure all the new rules were adhered to.

“I felt safe and comfortable and although of course everything isn’t the same, the crew made sure we still had a really enjoyable time and things were as close to ‘normal’ as possible.”

The two departures had 45 and 37 passengers using Hilton DoubleTree hotels and all Parry’s’ safety measures were put in place in line with its risk assessment.

“Let us hope this is the start of more tours and confidence to travel once more,” says Dave Parry.
