- Logan F1 contributionBattlefields trip 2023 with schoolNothing much to say here other than how the coaches were always cleaned out every time we re-boarded for our school trip and how comfortable the seats were. A 6 hour trip to dover and then 4 hours to Ypres in Belgium is not nice, especially with only one service station in between. So a comfy coach and a nice ride is what you will want and that is what we got. I went with my school for a trip also, Tray Tray (tracey) you will be missed. Best driver ever and my entire coach can agree.Visited June 2023Traveled on businessWritten June 23, 2023
- Richard ALudlow, United Kingdom134 contributionsWhittles Ring of KerryA fantastic holiday with Whittles Coaches from the trip "Killarney and the Ring of Kerry" The three hotels that we stayed at on our tour were absolutely fantastic, lovely food, clean comfortable rooms, great staff. The driver Ben is very good at his job, as his driving skills proved, especially when negotiating the very narrow and windy roads on the trip around the Ring of Kerry. We stopped at various locations to take in the absolutely fantastic views, many of which were breadth taking. I would highly recommend this holiday to anyone, providing Whittles do not use their new silver coloured coach, due to the fact it has seriously dark tinted windows fitted to the coach registration YT23 HXS....... It is extremely difficult to see clearly out of the windows, so difficult that you are unable to see the colours of flowers on the roadside, and very difficult to see the contrasting scenery as we travelled. This part of the holiday was seriously impaired by these windows, it is like travelling at night. Why would a coach company use a coach for a holiday that included scenic tours, when it is virtually impossible to take in the magnificent views that were apparent. Excellent trip, great itinerary, but the dark tinted windows detracted the enjoyment from an otherwise superb holiday. Have used Whittles on other occasions for coach holidays and found them to be fantastic.Visited August 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten September 15, 2023
- Fiona B1 contributionLiverpool Musical Tour at its absolute best.Our Musical Tour to Liverpool was a great day excursion. Danielle was a friendly, experienced driver who managed to not only get us through tight streets and busy motorways, but delivered us safely on time to our destination and home. A brilliant way to see Liverpool and its "Beatle" & Musical history with a local guide.Visited September 2023Traveled with familyWritten September 22, 2023

- John RRugby, United Kingdom195 contributionsGreat value tour to Hampton Court PalaceEasy check in and parking if driving to base. Professional driver Patrick helpful and friendly and took us to just 5 mins walk to site. Tight seats at back 13A and B to be avoided but ok for short journey if no choice as for us. Tour to Hampton Court Palace Tulip Festival good value and a fascinating days outing with 6 hours to tour palace, lovely gardens and of course get lost in the famous maze.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 21, 2024

We booked and paid for a double decker bus months in advance to transport wedding guests from Stratford upon Avon town hall to a wedding reception. The bus just didn’t turn up and when we made a panic call we were told that we had probably cancelled that morning. In any case the lady added the bus had had a small accident the day before! Of course we had not cancelled and had even been given the name and phone number of our driver in a e-mail the day before. When we called her she said she was in London. No idea what went wrong but we were horrified and embarrassed in front of 90 guests. Disgraceful

Went on a daytrip today with 3 friends to Harrogate. We were greeted at the depot by friendly yet professional staff who made us feel extremely safe at this tricky time. Prompt, efficient & comfortable service from our lovely driver Mark ( loved the jokes ! ) Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great day out Johnsons !

Whilst we didn’t actually use this service we were subjected to harassment and dangerous driving from one of their drivers (reg YT21 LTD) driving towards Birdlip in Gloucester on 27th December. I indicated and moved infront of him with plenty of space but he didn’t like it. Put horrendous strobe flashing lights on then proceeded to leave full beam on for 20 minutes in the queue driving virtually in my bumper. The lights didn’t bother me unless I looked in my wing mirrors as he was so close but a car two in front kept leaning out of the window to tell him to turn them off. I would have only had to touch my brakes and he would have caused a massive accident and probably injured a lot of people. He then did it to a van that pulled in behind me. Worst thing was I was talking my daughter to an eye appointment at Gloucester hospital after recent brain surgeries as the flashing lights left her with spots in her sight. I see another complaint about a driver with anger issues. I suspect it’s the same person that has not been sorted out.

We finally managed to have my best friend's hen do 15 months late due to lockdowns and Covid restrictions. Johnsons have been incredibly accommodating to us throughout this tricky time, and even managed to save the day with only a week's notice when we had to change the pick up and drop off location due to the place we were meant to be staying cancelling on us last minute. Thank you so much for your understanding and flexibility for us, we are so so grateful and had an amazing day with all of the stress removed. Cannot recommend enough!

coach was hired by presson pass who organized football tournament in Paris. Horrendous coach, no cleaning or instructions for driver. Not allowed to go off the coach on euro tunnel for toilet break. Driver didn’t bother to empty the toilet after long journey with 52 passengers including young children. It was like for over 48 hours . It was not cleaned until we reached back from Paris to London

Such a well organised and friendly company. Our trip to Highrove was excellent with time beforehand for brunch in Tetbury. All the timings were spot on, it was a super day out and I'll certainly rebook other trips with them. Nothing was too much trouble for Tony the driver. He even gave us his phone number in case we had any problems. Well done Johnsons and by the way, there's a very welcome toilet facility at the depot in Henley.
