"The coach was on time, the driver on our return journey was very friendly and helpful. The coach was clean, comfortable and had plenty of room for our party. We had a party of 12 and were expecting a minibus which seated 19. On both our outward and return journeys to the airport, we were given a 52 seater coach! Plenty of room but probably not great for the fuel and environment!"
Would they recommend: Yes

"Hi, thank you for your review. This quite often happens with airport runs as if we have coaches coming back empty past airports anyway it makes sense to use these so it is often more environmentally friendly!"

"The main complaint is the hours spent on the coach, over 12 hours ,we only had 5 hours at Swanage. I appreciate that the traffic was heavy in places which was none of your fault. We had to wait so long for the ferry on a very hot and tiring day, i think most of us just wanted to head for home. i think we just picked the wrong day, also had to wait for a change over driver on the outward journey and had no idea we had to divert off to Newbury to pick up more people. In short too long day in the heat, spoilt my day out, will not be booking again on days out. i went to Swanage last Wednesday, no complaints of driver."
Would they recommend: No

"The bus was easy to find and arrived punctually for our guests. We used their services to take our guests to and from our wedding venue in the cotswolds. The bus was lovely and everyone was very comfortable. I only put 4 stars as we had paid for hot drinks (tea & coffee) and it was not served onboard."

"Vehicles are great and drivers friendly. However, the routes were questionable meaning the two separate journeys took way longer than they should. We matched the route with the ones we got from various reliable apps/sources and they clearly differed a lot."
Would they recommend: Yes
