What amazing people. The drivers are amazing. They care so much about people. Just got back from skiing in Italy and they done everything to make sure we're safe and get home in time. We got home earlier today thanks to them. Highly recommend 🖒

Went to Ilfracombe for the day with you yesterday. Wasn't expecting much as it was so cheap but coach was clean, trip was very well organised and the driver was very helpful and friendly. Can't wait until my next trip

Went down to the royal wedding yesterday with Johnsons. From the point of my first telephone call booking the trip the service has been excellent. We were greeted at the Johnsons coach park by a very friendly gentleman pointing us in the right direction to find the coach. A friendly driver welcomed us onto the coach which had been decorated with royal wedding bunting and a union jack flag on each seat. What a lovely gesture. A safe journey down to Windsor to enjoy the fabulous day. I would certainly recommend Johnsons and will definitely use them again.

We've just returned from your Outstanding Northern Ireland and it really was outstanding, from collection from our home on the Sunday morning to being dropped off on the following Saturday. Jenny and Adrian (our courier and driver respectively) were fantastic and went along way towards a lovely coaching holiday. You blew us away, the hotels were first class and along with the rest of your travellers we had a fantastic time. As for the people of both Eire and Northern Ireland, they couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming, this is our second holiday with Johnsons and we thank your company so much for another first class holiday.

We went on your Wiltshire Delights Christmas Break. Very well planned and organised from your end, hence the five stars. However the Leigh Park Hotel was grossly understaffed. There was no one on Reception over Christmas and service was slow. Christmas lunch was dreadful and breakfasts poor. Tea and coffee tasted like dishwater. Seating areas are inadequate and it did not help that the hotel booked in another 59 people for lunch.



Our driver and courier were great, as was the Bath panto. Please think again about using this hotel

To each and everyone of your Staff. We would like to Thank you all for all the coaches that have taken us too and from the different events over the weekend. We have been at The British Transplant Games and each and everyone of your Drivers and Staff have been excellent.

Thank you for making our travels easy and comfortable.

The Bridgwood Family XXX

This is a fantastic family run company, always helpful, high standards of professionalism with a smile. I would like to say a big thank you to our excellent driver Mark and our courier Val who kept us entertained all the way down to our New Year holiday break at the Royal Hotel, Bideford. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff are always willing to go that extra mile to ensure that you have a relaxed and carefree trip.

People who buy homes and caravans in our park are suggested to use your bus services! 😊 Thanks for your high quality services and professional attitude! Our guests really love it! A bunch of love from Stratford Parks! ❤️

Just been on holiday to Belgium with Trentham brass band and the coach company is great specially mark who to us to Belgium he did a great job helping us to unload the coach and reload the coach again and he took photos for us and a great driver to thanks mark and the team for taking us there and back

In Birmingham with my children for the British Transplant Games and i would just like to say how kind and thoughtful your bus/coaches drivers are. They did there upmost to make sure everyone was happy in every way and provided a reliable service for all!!! You have done a fantastic job! Thank you �

Hi

Got back Monday evening from a lovely break with Johnson’s. Sun 18th Feb to Liverpool then onto the Cottons Hotel Knutsford then today to Chester before home.

I felt I just had to let you know what superb staff you have working for you.

Our Driver was Adrian and the Courier was Diane.

So attentive, informative and our safety and well-being was paramount throughout the trip.

They looked after us right from boarding at Henley.

Adrian has a lovely sense of humour but very professional with it. Diane very knowledgable

They both do your Company proud and both deserve a Pat on the back

Please also send our thanks to them both - and to your Company. We have been on many trips and hope to continue to do so.

The Hotel was excellent by the way so hope you do another one there sometime.

Please pass on this to the Manager/ Owner so they know how good these people are

Kindest regards

Tell them from the 3 ladies on the back seat - Me June, Margy and Lorraine x

Hi,



My mother and I where on one of your £20 day trips to Llandudno yesterday, which was recommended by friends we've known for longer than we care to remember, who where also went.



We bith had a brilliant time, enjoyed every minute in the fresh sea air.



I would also like to thank our driver Bill, such a friendly, welcoming, helpful guy.



Can not recommend enough, going to defiantly looking to do another one soon.

Heart felt thanks to all the Johnsons staff who transported us around the Transplant Games in Birmingham this weekend. 😍

Having just returned home from Warwickshire Federation WI Centenary Big Day Out to Lincoln THANK YOU for all the work involved organising it. I had an amazing day and would love to visit the place again. Your eye for detail was outstanding.

Had a fantastic time today in Southport and service of Johnson's coaches was excellent can't recommend them enough. Lovely drivers will definitely be booking with them again.

Booked day trip for my dad, he took the leap & travelled alone since the loss of his wife. Johnson’s were fantastic, they had a little concern for my dad on the day kept me informed and even dropped him home despite arrangements being made for him to be picked up. Highly recommend, compliments to the driver Mark who looked out for him my dad thought the trip wasn’t bad either.

Really disappointed with the way my sister has been treated recently, we had 2 double rooms booked at a lovely hotel in Devon, after asking if there would be an extra charge for myself as a single traveler the lady said she would find out and ring back, another person rang back to tell her that the coach was full and there was no room for us so no holiday, disgusting way to treat potential new customers!, not to be relied on 😡

Johnsons disgusted and let down by the level of care and service we have received from your bus company through this school year! To many issues to lists but clearly the only priority your company have is the exceptional over priced fees you feel is justifiable to charge for such an appalling service! No care of safeguarding students in this route, dangerous driving, dirty buses, no change board missed stops and continually late to pick up children!



Warwickshire council should never of granted your bus company a school contract.



If you insist on charging such high fees at least offer a service to match!

Constantly nearly drove past after work. Been short changed on numerous occasions, wasn't let on the bus I use for work 5 days a week because I was 30p short complete accident on my behalf but seriously? I was in tears and shook up by the selfishness the driver showed. I had to get my step dad to get me a taxi, costing £18 and I missed an hour of work. You've been sent the bill but no response as of yet.

Once missed an entire day of work due to the bus breaking down and not being replaced in good time.

I asked if the driver could stop further down the road as it was pouring with rain and I was in my work clothes and didn't have spares. He rudely replied no where I had to basically beg him to let me get off where I wanted.

It lets the few polite & friendly drivers down when 80% of the time I'm greeted by a miserable unfriendly driver.
