Durham City Coaches

Very Proud to be accompanying some of the 2200 Royal British Legion members on the Great Pilgrimage in procession to the Menin Gate today.
A decade after the end of WW1, the British Legion (as it was then known) organised for veterans and war widows to visit the battlefields of the Somme and Ypres before marching to the Menin Gate in Ypres on 8th August 1928.
Exactly 90 years later, thousands of Legion representatives will recreate the 1928 Battlefields Pilgrimage and visit the same battlefields and then, on 8th August 2018, parade their branch standard and a wreath along the same route to the Menin Gate for the One Hundred Days ceremony to commemorate the last 100 days of WW1 and represent an entire generation that served while defending their country.

Very happy to be once again accompanying Houghall Horticultural Society on their garden tours of the northeast. Secluded Sion Hill Hall first up.

thanks to steve and ian, our austrian trip was brill! we can't thank the lads enough for the great time that we had and i hope they enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed theirs. thanks lads!!!!!

Would like to meet a driver you called Stephen/Steven to thank him for pulling in front of my car just after the thinford roundabout, when my daughter had a fit in the car and checked she had a pulse and was breathing and and waited with us until the ambulance come. Please get in touch so I can meet him

Went on the trip to Ripon and Skipton yesterday. James the driver was brilliant.

We did the Autumn tints trip last week. Brilliant day out. Friendly knowledgeable driver. Comfy coach. Great price, nice not having to drive/find parking etc. Will definitely be booking more trips in the near future.

Took our Scouts over to Acorn Adventure in Ardres. Excellent service, clean coach and Andy the driver was superb. All the kids and adults loved him. Constant updates as we were going and a touch of humour to go with it. Cheers.

Shoutout to John and his wife- splendid journey for us beginners, he kept us well informed via the microphone even telling some local history! Perfect way to start our travelling year started by a trip to blackpool. See you next time guys !! �

My friend and I love our trips out had great day yesterday Alnwick &Seahouses weather was nice lovely fish chips driver James was great good day in all looking forward to next one regards sheila tumilty from hartlepool x

Just returned from a weeks excursion to Edinburgh on a school trip with Durham city coaches - huge thank you to Andy our driver who has been great! Would definitely recommend!

Just returned from a school trip to visit the World War I battlefields. Our driver Michael was incredibly friendly and professional and ensured that we were able to visit the sites we wanted. Outstanding service. Highly recommended.

Just returned back to the States after a 16 day Coach tour throughout England,Ireland,Scotland,Wales. First, I would like to thank our 2 drivers Mark T. and Paul, for their professionalism and expertise in routing us throughout the U K. Wonderful disposition and personalities displayed by these gentleman over the course of our trip. We had Mark T. for 14 days, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about this young man, wise beyond his years behind the wheel of the coach. Thank you Mark for a most pleasant ride thru the U K. Durham Coaches management you have wonderful representatives for your company in both Paul and Mark T. Best Regards Richard Stanchfield USA

Just a thankyou to the kind driver who brought my bag to my house after i left it on coach at catterick market when my friend had to be taken to hospital.Theyre a wonderful company .Thankyou so much

Josh has had a fab morning being picked up by DCC to take him down to the yard and learn what’s required to become a coach driver. Thank you all so much he hasn’t stopped talking about it . Thanks the wells family

Great day in the lakes yesterday. Driver James was brilliant, an asset to your company. Just a couple of pick ups then off to Lakes. Nice new coach looking forward to booking another trip.

Brilliant service, lovely coaches and really friendly drivers :)

had a wonderful diver called James ... he was chucked in the deep end on a National holiday ... passengers and driver had different itnery paper work .. but .... James too k charge kept his cool and i think just about made every one happy including 2 other divers who where there... he made our holiday even better for us ... we had a wonderful time a good laugh and met lvy people... so thank you James .. you made out hols.

Michael was the brilliant driver for my day trip from newcastle to whitby. I couldn't fault his friendly service and safe driving. The only thing I would suggest for the company is by them adding a Darlington pick up/ drop off it actually added about an hour onto the journey time for me, making it 3 hours approx to get from newcastle to whitby and back again, which I found abit long that I wasn't expecting.

Just looked at the excursions for 2018 same old boring trips you’ve done year in year out. I must have took my mum on them all and at 83 even she was bored. Get your thinking caps on and stop thinking there’s something exciting in the lakes. Years ago when little craft shops were around but in those places there’s nothing like that now. It’s a wonder your not struggling. Your planners have an easy job they pick the same trips every year

I would never book to travel with these even if I got it for free or someone paid me. Just reported an arrogant driver who nearly took off my wing mirror because he though it would be appropriate to go passes a filter lane and barge in front of me rather than filter behind where it was safe to do so so he wasn’t blocking traffic in the opposite direction. I have cameras fitted to me car so can prove it if he wishes to deny it!!!

I have given them one star only because you have to select a rating in order to write a review. My husband, son and myself went on a day trip to Edinburgh zoo. Journey started off waiting from 8.50am until 10.00am at Gateshead bus station waiting for a coach load of passengers to join us. When we eventually arrived at the zoo we were told we would be picked up at 5.00pm for our journey home. We arrived at pick up point 4.57pm and the coach had gone. Left stranded 130 miles from home, no emergency contact number available so had to make our own way back home via train, luckily we had bank cards with us!! I contacted Durham city coaches by email the next day who tried to play it down as a misunderstanding on our part. There was no misunderstanding they had simply left before the advised time (we had a witness to confirm we were there before 5.00pm). We have been compensated for the cost of getting home however we have had no apology, explanation nothing. I would never use this company again.
