Included trips were good. time to relax. final day before departing, driver tried to talk everyone out of going on an included trip. this was wrong, and the trip was cancelled, so the drivers had an extra day off

The hotel, touring coach and drivers were excellent, neither could be faulted.

We cannot fault the actual time we spent in Croatia but we strongly regret booking with Shearings due to the state of the coach that took took us there, provided the day trips and the travel back. The coach was totally inadequate for such a long journey. Only one driver, no drinks provided unless we stopped at services, the toilet was disgusting and way too small for a grown adult to fit in and close the door, the seat in front of me was broken which meant the little space I had was now taken up by the passenger in front of me. We were expected to be able to sleep during this very long journey which was impossible due to the cramped nature of the seating. The air conditioner was broken so it was unbelievably uncomfortable to be in due to the very hot weather. A complaint was made by another passenger during the trip but Shearings have taken no responsibility for this by saying that just the mere fact we stayed on the coach is 'acceptance' of the coach. The same shoddy coach drove us all the way to Croatia, took us on our day trips and brought us home but we were naturally dreading the return journey which was just as bad as the journey there. This is totally unacceptable and we have made a formal complaint to the company and are waiting a response.

The coach was terrible. Dirty, broken and stained seats. Roof was coming down in places.Not the coach that was advertised. Aircon not effective . I rang the company.they said that they would get back to me straight away. Still waiting. Segregated to a separate bar with plastic drinking glasses. The hotel was clean and food good. Just coach trip spoiled the holiday.
