We have just returned from a weekend…

We have just returned from a weekend coach trip to London - all 49 of us.

From making the initial enquiry thru to last nights drop off I can not fault the customer service from Selwyns.
I’m a stickler for good service and having used this company before would highly recommend.

From the ‘Sues’ in the office to Steve our patient accommodating driver the service was exceptional!

Thank you for helping to make it a memorable trip.

Brilliant coach company for school trip

The drivers were a great team. They were friendly, funny and professional. Had one slight issue with them picking us up late from one of the venues but overall, they did everything they could to ensure a smooth trip for us and the students.
Thank you.

I’d give Selwyns Travel 3 stars

I’d give Selwyns Travel 3 stars. The service was generally reliable and the staff were friendly and accommodating, both before and during the trip. The coaches were also clean and comfortable. However, their pricing isn’t the most competitive, and while the experience was good overall, it didn’t go above and beyond to justify a higher score for me. Decent option, but with room for improvement.
