Your getaway drivers Georgie & Mellissa

Georgie and Mellissa are a top-tier duo, keeping everything perfectly on track. When they’re in charge, you know you’re in safe, capable hands.

- How many years have you been coach driving? 18 years.
- How many years have you been driving with our company? I have been driving for Leger for three years.
- How many years have you been driving together as a team? We have been driving together for nearly four years now.
- Does your coach have a name? Sybella!
- What inspired you to become a coach driver? As a kid, I was always interested in buses. Then once I got my driving license, all I wanted to do was drive everywhere. Then the two just merged together, and I haven't looked back since!
- When you're not on the road, how do you like to spend your time? Driving my car and travelling, as well as spending time with friends and family.
- What is your favourite country, destination, or tour you've driven to? Tallinn in Estonia, which we visit on The Baltic Capitals & Highlights of Scandinavia tour.
- What makes it your top choice? You have the castle perched high on the hill surrounded by the old town. As you make you way back down, you come into the new modern part of town. It’s a great contrast of old and new.
- What's your favourite memory from a past tour? My favourite memory would have to be on the Fire & Ice tour. We sailed towards the Stromboli volcano at night to watch plumes of smoke and lava erupting every few minutes.
- Do you have any personal touches that make your coach feel welcoming? We have a little cork bowl full of mints on the dashboard that we like to hand out to passengers. The hardest thing is trying to stop the battlefield guides from eating them all!
- If you could provide a top travel tip for our passengers, what would that be? Remember that coach tours are like having tapas. It's your chance to sample and enjoy a taste of new and exciting locations!
- Is there anything else you would like to share with us about the tours you do? Tours are never the same. Our special passengers make each one unique in every way, right from the moment they step foot on Sybella, and, in return, we hope to give them magic moments they will always remember.

- How many years have you been coach driving? I’ve been driving coaches for 30 years.
- How many years have you been driving with our company? This year will be 15 years.
- How many years have you been driving together as a team? Georgie and I have been driving together for nearly four years now.
- Does your coach have a name? Sybella!
- What inspired you to become a coach driver? I really enjoy driving. Plus, it’s the opportunity to explore fantastic sites, take in stunning scenery, and visit great countries, all while making friends along the way.
- When you're not on the road, how do you like to spend your time? Time is very precious, so I spend it with family and friends. I also enjoy my shoe and handbag collections, as well as relaxing with a good book and cooking.
- What is your favourite country, destination, or tour you've driven to? Greece is my favourite country, offering so many wow moments.
- What makes it your top choice? The breathtaking views of the rock formations in Meteora. To stand at the oracle in Delphi, the most sacred place in the world. Our fantastic hotel in Athens with stunning views of the Acropolis, or a fun night to a traditional Greek restaurant with singers, belly dancers and great food. The beautiful resort of Tolo, one of the best hotels we use on Leger in my opinion, which is set literally on the beach. You can have your breakfast with the waves lapping at your feet. A must-visit is Agamemnon’s tomb, as well as Zakynthos with its turquoise-coloured water.
- What's your favourite memory from a past tour? Being at the acropolis and literary standing at the centre of the universe, or marvelling at the engineering of the Corinth canal. Also visiting Olympia at the temple of Hera, my hero. So many special memories made.
- Do you have any personal touches that make your coach feel welcoming? We have a little dish of mints on the dash that people can help themselves to.
- If you could provide a top travel tip for our passengers, what would that be? Always take joy in the journey.
- Is there anything else you would like to share with us about the tours you do? Each tour is always so special for a variety of reasons; stunning scenery, areas of historical importance, great hotels, diverse cultures, foods and wines.
