'I would just like to comment on the weekend our group spent in Babbacombe, at the Babbacombe hotel. The hotel was very comfortable, staff very good and mostly great entertainment. The guy who played on Saturday 9th was brilliant !!. My friend and I paid to upgrade to sea view, which was well worth it. The coach transfers very smooth, and your driver Dan made us very welcome.'

'Another fabulous trip today, made by our amazing driver (Jason), honestly, he really is wonderful, and puts us at ease, always nervous booking for a childcare group as the children get excited and loud - it doesn't faze him, put music on for the children, they were singing along... Makes me so comfortable as a manager! He's worth his weight in gold, Marchant's are very lucky to have someone like him... he will certainly be the reason we keep booking with you... Thank you!!!'

'I would just like to take this opportunity to provide some feedback regarding Kevin, who was our driver. Firstly, and I think I can safely speak for all the passengers on the holiday, “Kevin, you are an absolute star!!” We were all completely bowled over by your warmth, compassion and authentic empathy for all of your passengers, but especially for those who, at times found movement particularly tricky or just needed that “little bit extra” help or advice. Your calm and patience was duly noticed. Kevin, your obvious passion and commitment to driving, alongside your natural ability to put people at ease, really helped to build a trusting relationship with us all-thank you! On a personal note, I would like to thank Kevin for “Transporting the World’s largest suitcase.” Kevin, your photography skills in the face of adverse weather were great and finally your humour and patience for the, “Naughty rabble” sat at the back of the Coach. You are a credit not only to Marchants but your family to. I’d also like to thank the ladies in the booking/Sales office. They’ve been so patient with me, constantly switching my seating position and various other requirements. I really do appreciate it!'

'My sister and I went on the above trip on Saturday. We would like to make you aware of how excellent those two drivers were (Ali & Gary). They were simply ‘the best’. The driver (Ali) who took us through the lights deserves a medal!  The pavements were rammed with people waiting for the firework display. How he never hit someone I will never ever know! Thank you for sending two amazing drivers on a very long day trip.

This was the first tour I have booked with Machant's but - and trust me on this - it will not be the last. Your driver, Dan, is a consummate professional and a credit to your company. He went out of his way to look after all of us onboard and give us all a trip to remember while always having a smile on his face and being very approachable and obliging. I have very long legs and my allocated seat was very uncomfortable for me. A quick chat with Dan at our first comfort stop ensured I had ample leg and knee room for the rest of tour. For this alone I am very grateful. My thanks for a truly enjoyable and memorable holiday.'

The hotel (Virgina Court Hotel) was spotlessly clean and very nicely decorated. Our room was well equipped and also spotless. The food was excellent and service was really good.

'I just wanted to take the opportunity to say how lovely and accommodating our driver (Ashley) was on Saturday night 4th November.

From the start he was informative, friendly, humorous and chatty (in a very appropriate manner) to all the passengers. I was particularly impressed with his calm and patient attitude whilst driving through central Gloucester, encountering several pedestrians who insisted on walking in the middle of the road as he was attempting to safely manoeuvre around them. Another point I’d like to bring to your attention was how considerate, courteous and well mannered he was with all the passengers, which in my opinion, really makes a difference to the whole experience. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch his name, but would be extremely grateful if you could pass my comments on to him- a real credit to your team. Thank you Drive! :)'

'I just wanted to email in to say how amazingly impressed I was with your day excursion to the Elan Valley on Sunday 30th Oct. From the price and the experience of the entire trip was once again planned to an exceptional standard. Tony S the driver was as always friendly, polite and professional providing plenty of comfort stops throughout the day to stretch our legs and use the facilities as well as provide information on where we were and the plan for the day ahead. After stopping at the visitor centre we then went onto the tricky road around the dams. The road here was incredibly scenic and tight. We even got stuck by badly parked cars although Tony kept his composure and after several attempts he got through without any damage to any vehicle and in which the entire coach applauded him. I continue to be genuinely amazed on the skill in which he got through. We've travelled with Marchants for years and had Tony as a driver on a number of occasions and still amazed on the roads he can navigate with the size of his vehicle. Once again just goes to show the incredible skill and expertise of Tony as well as shows the amount of planning that is put in to make these day excursions a success. Thank you once again Tony and Marchants Coaches.'

"Just to say that our driver, Alan M, looked after us extremely well on our bowls tour last week. Right from the start (he arrived earlier than scheduled so we were loaded and off dead on 8am as hoped) right up until arrival back home Friday evening he was superb. Not only did he find out in advance where the bowling clubs were we were playing at, he took the time to WALK from Paignton to the Torbay Country Club on Tuesday then on Wednesday when we were playing there he took the service bus into Brixham, walked up two very steep hills to the two venues there then came back to Paignton, got the coach and came to pick us up at the agreed time. Above and beyond I would say. Thursday morning he took us into Brixham, dropped us off as requested then came back at 1pm to take us to the clubs. The only glitch was Friday morning when it took us the best part of two and a half hours to get from Paignton to WSM. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to put the blame for this on an ex Pongo just for old times’ sake, I don't suppose it was his fault the motorway was clogged for most of the way. It was a pleasure having him drive us around and I really did appreciate his good humour, calm manner and professionalism. We worked out pickup and departure times between without a hitch and he helped to make the tour the success that it was. If we go on another tour I might just ask for him again!"

They were highly professional at all times whilst still being engaging with our children and wanting to get to know them. They are a credit to your company and i cant speak highly enough of them.

His coach was always immaculate and the constant supply of teas, coffee and most importantly water was very much appreciated. We always felt safe in his hands and he is a pleasure to work with both in the planning stage and whilst away. He deserves a huge amount of praise and our sincere thanks. Please let him know."

You said he was a lovely man - but he is more…not only is he a good and safe driver but he is such a considerate person and so accommodating. We had some awkward entrances to negotiate with a couple of private gardens and one very difficult one where turning was a challenge but he did it all without any complaints or negativity - and, once he had conquered his fear of me, we got along very well!!  The group thought he was a delightful man and he added elements to the tour with his local knowledge and his thoughtfulness which was appreciated not only by me but also by the group. I would say he was glad of the peace and quiet when he got home - all of the group know each other so chat was endless on the coach!"

"We travelled on your Bishops Lydiard Steam railway trip yesterday. From start to finish the while trip was wonderful. Our driver John was extremely pleasant, friendly and expertly skilled driver negotiating some very tight and windy roads however he did this with such skill and experience, it was amazing. When dropping us off at the station at Bishops Lydiard he walked to our own dedicated carriage and made sure we were all okay. And he even waited and waved us off on the train before leaving to travel to Minehead. It was also fantastic to see John on the platform when we arrived at Minehead making sure we all knew where the coach was and making sure we were all ok. We've travelled with yourselves numerous occasions and just wanted to say that the skill and friendly drivers as well as the overall enjoyment and planning of all your day excursions are second to none and cannot fault any part of your organisation. Thank you once again for another great value and fantastic day excursion. You clearly work hard to make sure your customers enjoy and keep coming back and that is very pleasing."

Please thank him from us all!"

It was a pleasure to travel with Marchants the bus driver was lovely and made our trip lovely and kept us well informed about picking us up so we did not get lost, I have done a few trips with you through the year and all of them have been great and love how easy it is to travel with you and stress free and always dropped off where we are going at easy places to find the bus on the way home. We are very lucky to have your company in Cheltenham and already looking forward to booking another trip with you in the new year. I would like to wish all the staff a really happy Christmas. Thanks again''

"I have recently come back from a holiday in Scarborough where a group of senior citizens were taken by one of your coaches. I have to say how helpful your driver Dan was. Nothing was too much trouble for him. His patience with the less able of us was admirable. Dan has taken our group on quite a few holidays and everyone thinks that he is an excellent driver. I hope he continues to be our driver on future holidays."

"May I start by saying this is definitely not a complaint, very much the opposite. We travelled from Leedons Holiday Park to Cheltenham on Friday 14th September on your 606 service, leaving at 09.57 and returning from Cheltenham at 14.45. What a pleasure this outing was, both drivers were extremely pleasant, welcoming and very patient. On arrival at Cheltenham another driver Ian, very kindly assisted me in getting off the bus as I have mobility issues and then he was the driver for our return journey. He allowed us to get on the bus early and sit and wait for the bus to leave so that we didn’t sit in the cold and is such a lovely caring man. It was our first bus journey with Marchants but it won’t be our last - thank you so much."

"I hired one of your coaches last Wednesday to go to the Forest of Dean on behalf of the Wednesday Fellowship at Bishops Cleeve Methodist Church and would like to thank you for a perfect service. The coach was clean and comfortable, (and blessedly air conditioned!) and we couldn’t have wished for a better driver (Alan). He looked after us so well, was smart and polite and looked after the less mobile of us with care, consideration and good humour. Please pass on our thanks. Congratulations on an excellent service."

In addition, in advance of the trip I rang your company with some queries and received prompt and helpful attention, for which I was very grateful.

The Hythe Imperial Hotel was superb, the rooms had very tasteful décor, great facilities with a pool and gym and the food was very good with plenty of choices. The hotel location being on the seafront was amazing. The trips were all very enjoyable especially Dover Castle, Rye and Hastings. We have had several holidays with you and yet again first class, a beautiful clean coach and a very friendly and helpful driver who always goes the extra mile to look after us all. Steve is a credit to your company"

"Had a super holiday in Kent last week. The itinerary was just right – Dover Castle was very interesting & I made it to the top of the tower – almost on my hands & knees by then but well worth the effort just to see the view. The morning trip on the little steam train was very enjoyable & it was good to have time to look round Hythe itself. The trip to Rye & Hastings was also interesting.The whole trip was very good especially as we had your No1 driver (Steve) to escort us. The hotel was very comfortable & I had a huge room with a 6ft bed & wet room on the ground floor. The food was also very well cooked & presented– an interesting menu. A trip well worth repeating."

The bus driver (Ian) was amazing, full of useful information and very knowledgeable about the local area. It was a pleasure to use your service, the bus was clean and comfortable but the driver was exceptional. It was like a mini guided tour! He pointed out interesting features and gave us a short history of the area. He is an asset to your company."

I purchased the trip for a Christmas gift, it was the highlight of Christmas.

Please also extend a big thank you to the coach driver (Justin - nice chap) got us there and back safely."

"Between 31^st October and 16^th November I used my senior citizen bus pass to travel right round England to raise money for BBC Children in Need. As well as my travel being free thanks to the Government and yourselves my accommodation was provided free most nights by volunteer hosts.

 

I travelled over 1500 miles on about 80 buses in the 17 day journey and I completed each day of travel successfully arriving at my host each night as planned.  I made all of those successful connections because your services ran to time, because Traveline gave good advice and because your drivers helped me with identifying some of the more obscure changeover bus stops.  So, thank you, thank you, thank you – you did a great job!

 

I have raised at least £212 for Pudsey and donations are still coming in. One bus driver called Laurence even walked down the bus specially to make a donation himself. There is always plenty of media noise when things go wrong with public transport but on a day-to-day basis you provide a great service and judging by the, “thank you” extended to the driver by almost everyone getting off the buses on which I travelled  the majority of travellers recognise what a great job you do."

The hotel was spotlessly clean, the staff efficent and helpful, the meals were extremely good. There was a lovely swimming pool with towels supplied by the hotel. We would recommend the hotel and holiday as very good value.

 

Steve our driver was excellent and filled everyone with confidence. He was not only a consummately good driver but was cheerful, outgoing and helpful.

Steve was a hard act to follow, but Anthony couldn't have been a better substitute. His driving was excellent in every way, skilful, careful and courteous ensuring that each journey was very relaxing. He was very helpful, particularly to our disabled lady, and good company which we enjoyed at dinner.

 

This is the third time we have used your coaches, and with your excellent drivers and large comfortable coaches, I hope we have the opportunity to have you again."

"I wanted to take the time to write and thank you for giving us a superb driver for our week away in Bingen (3-7 July). You're, I'm sure, well aware that a good coach driver can be a big part in making a week go brilliantly and our driver, Tony Knight, certainly did that. I'm not sure Tony was ever not smiling! He was cheery, even early mornings, and worked with us to make the week really smooth-running. Nothing was too much for him - he came and rescued us in a thunder storm when, I know from previous experience of trips, some other drivers might have been more reluctant to do so. Additionally, we felt very safe being driven by him. The pupils quickly built a good rapport with him too.

 

I shall be recommending to the tour company, Voyager, that Marchants should be used again as you contribute significantly to making the trip a success. If I'm running the trip again I would love Tony to be our driver again - groups are clearly very fortunate when they get a driver like Tony to work with."

"My husband and I recently used Marchant (606) to take us from Cheltenham to Broadway, one sunny Saturday,

and then again on last Sunday to head over to Stratford (606S).

 

We had the same driver for both rides, as it turned out, and he was marvellous. Not just friendly, courteous and helpful to us

(for example, selling us two tickets to Stratford, then a few seconds later stopping and checking that he didn't need a return after all), but also to other customers - dropping them off where they needed to be when they were not sure of a good walking starting point, and with one elderly lady he stopped a passing local to check the best place to let her alight. I think his name might have been Roger... not sure, but either way, he was huge fun!

 

The bus line itself is also excellent. I am so happy to see that small villages are still being served and connected by a regular bus line.

Safe driving and convenient timing also was appreciated.

 

So thanks so much for that and helping us to enjoy our travels in your part of the country"

"I was as on the 2pm bus from Cheltenham to Winchcombe via Gotherington today which was diverted at Prestbury due to Roadworks. The driver of this bus was a lady called Leanne, due to the narrowness and double parking and a rubbish skip being moved across the road in Shaw Green Lane and also inconsiderate driving we were stuck with nowhere to go. The lady driver of your bus was amazingly calm and a credit to your company, I for one found it VERY stressfull as did other passengers, that lane is far too narrow for buses to go through due to other inconsiderate drivers on the road. She deserves a medal for having to drive under such circumstance and I for one say  THANK YOU ....."

"I have just got the feedback from the group leader, and I would be here all afternoon passing on her praise for Tony if I had the time. To sum up, Tony went out of his way all weekend to ensure the group had a good time. He gave the group an orientation tour of Bristol, and saved the group at least 4 hours of queueing on the Sunday at Longleat by finding out about queues for the safari park and juggling the day around to avoid them. It’s thinking outside the box like this that make or break a groups tour, and not being afraid to make suggestions to an itinerary. Thanks as always for the excellence service/coaches you provide us for our groups."
