Was lucky enough to have Carlie as the examiner she was lovely and Kind would definitely recommend!Posted on SCOTTE STTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was lucky enough to have a Virgin Experience day in a 13T Excavator, Booking was very easy and straight forward, Once I arrived Carlie briefed me on the health and safety and how to correctly get in and out of the Excavator, all controls were explained including the shut off lever which isolates all controls. Seatbelt on this can be checked outside the machine by the green flashing light so staff will know if you are wearing it or not. I started off tracking then digging a nice big hole, Then time to dig a nice straight trench, Carlie again explained the best way to to this. The power this machine has is amazing and will lift a lot of dirt. Carlie even let me have a go on the dumper too which was really nice as I have never driven a dumper before, but the excavator is the best. I even had a go at changing the buckets on the Excavator there is some skill in doing that but great to try it out as the experts make it look so easy. I have done a few Experience days over the years but this is the best one by far 2hrs of pure fun and enjoyment and will leave you with a big smile on your face, highly recommended. Thank you Carlie and the team at VPT for great experience.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
