Our Vehicles

You will be driven and guided by Marc Yates, who holds the necessary public service vehicle licence to drive paying passengers. Our vehicles are licensed public service vehicles which are inspected annually by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Department. If you don’t choose a licensed driver and vehicle for your tour, he or she will be driving illegally and without insurance which is likely to cause legal problems in the unfortunate event of an accident!

Check that your driver and vehicle are licensed – all public service vehicle licence holders have a plastic card driving licence issued each year and have to undergo medical fitness examinations and be DBS checked (Disclosure and Barring Service) for child and vulnerable adults safeguarding. Vehicles have a PSV licence plate attached to the rear with a specific licence number. Each of our vehicles are registered as a “Char-à-bancs” (translated as a wagon with benches!)
