We recently had a weekend away in London to see Abba Voyage.
The itinerary was full of pleasant surprises e.g. we had no idea we would have a few hours in London on the first day we got there and equally unexpected was a couple of hours in Oxford on our last day. We really enjoyed the Abba Voyage concert but the one thing which really enhanced the trip was our lovely lady driver Louise :-D

Really helpful and kind booking advisor. I haven't been on holiday for a very long time and required a helpful hand in deciding the best option for myself. The lady could not have been more encouraging and helpful, putting me at ease. I left the phone call feeling excited and contented and I had made the right choice for my needs. Highly recommend.

I have taken 2 4-day holidays with Shearings and enjoyed them. Good weather helped a lot. Accommodation has been adequate, meals better than adequate, drivers excellent. I have struck unlucky with meal companions who don't want to socialize and others who chatter loudly and non-stop on coach.
I do recommend Shearings.

Express shearings coach to maigret de mar spain.
From Lincolnshire Saturday morning 2.45 am to Dover took 15 hours.missed our ferry, so didnt arrive at the hotel till Sunday afternoon instead of early morning.
The 2 drivers didnt give any emergency information and didnt seem to know anywhere.
3 trips out and dropped furthest drop off point.
The basic coach let the holiday down.
The hotel was brilliant, no problems.

Dear Alison Smedley,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
We are very sorry to learn that your journey to Malgrat de Mar fell so far below your expectations. We appreciate how frustrating it must have been to experience such a lengthy journey from Lincolnshire, miss your scheduled ferry, and arrive at your hotel much later than planned.
We're also sorry to hear that you felt the drivers did not provide sufficient information during the journey and that the excursion drop-off points were not as convenient as you had hoped. We understand how these issues would have impacted your overall holiday experience.
It is, however, pleasing to hear that you were happy with the hotel and that it met your expectations.
Your feedback regarding the coach journey and overall travel experience is important to us and will be shared with the relevant teams for review, as we continually strive to improve our holidays.
Thank you again for bringing your experience to our attention.
Kind regards,
Customer Relations (SB)

Just returned from Blackpool. Trip on The Flying Scotsman. Hotel was ok, food was excellent, staff were friendly. Our driver Chris went above and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble and he made sure no one was left on their own. Would definitely book again.
