The main tour bus and driver was amazing the hotel and staff were so friendly. If it had been the main driver who took us to Edinburgh the trip would have been perfect. The bus driver from Gloucester wasn’t at all helpful I had booked mobility scooter and he wasn’t going to take it he did in the end but not happy, he spoilt that part of the trip. The shearing staff at Rugby were amazing making sure everything was alright and you got on the right coach. They were so helpful couldn’t do enough for you. The taxi drivers were the same so polite and helpful. It was a great holiday apart from one small part of it.

A very convenient way to spend a few days visiting Edinburgh & Rosslyn Chapel. Well organised and executed trip by the tour company and the coach driver. Would book a coach holiday with the tour company again.

Booked on line after ringing for some more info. Call centre helpful and pleasant. Website booking form a bit awkward at accepting telephone numbers.

I really enjoyed myself, I was a bit nervous before hand first time I have been away without a family member, but I do make friends easily so settled in really good. My room had a sea view it was perfect, beautiful. The bed was so comfortable, I probably had one the best sleeps the first night, but the rest of the week was fine too. i only had one problem when I went to eat in the restaurant I had ordered soup with a bread roll, well it was rock hard, well I put that down as an error of judgement on their part.

My husband and I have had several holidays with Shearings and find them a first rate company, they are always wonderfully polite and helpful and do everything within their power to give you a fantastic holiday! We love travelling with them and have already booked a few more holidays in the near future!

I couldn't work it at all. The code wasn't accepted and it felt like I was going around in circles . The best feature was we'll call you back..
