"The trip from the outset was great. The drivers on both journeys Sylvester and Sebastian were both very friendly and a credit to your company. I would definitely recommend Barnes coaches to anyone looking to book a coach. The bus itself was clean and well equipped. The service from the outset, booking through to our safe arrival home was great. The only thing I would feedback is to maybe text a little before the journey to the contact, just to confirm the drivers name, contact. Our bus was a little late due to the late notice swap of drivers in the morning. However the rest of the service was second to none!"

"I dont like to leave a negative review but feel I have to get this off my chest,I booked the day trip to London,Thames cruise & London Eye for my son & his girlfriend,firstly the coach arrived 15minutes late,when they arrived in London at approx 11.30am they were told not to leave the coach whilst the driver went to pick up the tickets,it was a beautiful hot day,he didn't return until approx 12.35,they were then told to return for 4pm,not long enough to do what I'd paid for in my opinion,as unless my sons girlfriend hadnt asked to jump to tthe front of the queue they wouldn't have had time to go on the eye,as for the journey they had a family with unruly children running about on the coach,shouting rather than speaking,nothing was said to them, passengers commented on how my son must have a headache,not a great trip,shame as it was a gift."
Would they recommend: Yes
Operator replied:
"Hi, we have already written to all passengers on this trip so hopefully you have received the letter by now. We have followed the same procedure for collecting tickets many times before. Unfortunately on this occassion the agent we use had our order wrong and were struggling to cope with large numbers of passengers. We have offered everyone on this trip a £10 voucher as a gesture of goodwill. With regards to the late pick up in the morning, unfortunately this was solely down to traffic. We also apologise for the behaviour of other cutomers on board, our drivers do their best to limit the effect of troublesome passengers on other passengers if they are made aware of any problems. Many thanks.

"The Journey went well with a well planned route and suitable break points. The driver was very friendly and helpful and made the trip fun. Coach was always clean, with bags supplied for rubbish. The 53 seater is more comfortable as there was more leg room"

"The journey to the venue went without a hitch and we arrived at our destination on time. Our driver Steve (who I had requested) was his usual friendly and efficient self although he needs to work on his jokes!!!!! The vehicle was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I belong to a number of groups within the Swindon area and use the Barnes on a regular basis and will continue to do so."
