    What Our Travellers Are Saying And Why They Keep Coming Back

    Mrs. A C

     

    Dear David & Paola,
    During 2025 we have enjoyed eight Great Days Out with you which not have been possible without your wonderful day trips.  The Highlights being:-
    Hughenden Manor which was not just interesting for being the home of Benjamin Disraeli with its collection of art but additionally the headquarters of Bomber Command map making during World War 2. We were offered short lectures on both subjects which were most informative.
    RHS Wakehurst Place detailed how seeds are prepared for preservation, most important bearing in mind our climate change. It is understood that the house has now been restored and open to the general public.
    The rainy day did not spoil our visit to Hatfield House where there are many beautiful pieces of jade on display We managed to take pictures of the gardens under the cover of our umbrellas and understand that it is also possible to view the Tudor building on this site.
    We absolutely loved Athelhampton House and the wonderful pieces of Medieval furniture which are beautifully displayed.
    Thank you both for your brilliant Days Out and all the care you take of your passengers. We look forward to planning more trips in the New Year.
    With all good wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
    Very Best Regards
    J and V

    Dear Dave

    I just wanted to write to say thank you so very much for a fabulous day out.  We all loved Waddesdon (your suggestion!) and you really looked after us all so well.  Your attention to detail and thoughtful and accommodating approach is so much appreciated by us all.  I will be in touch in the new year to set up some trips with you in 2026. 

    Mrs A C 03.12.2025

    Mrs. A B

     Hi Dave,

    Thanks so much for getting me and all of us home safely and for an absolutely wonderful day out. It would have been such a nightmare logistically to plan a trip like that for one person but to organise all of that for a group of 22 people was beyond amazing.

    I had already booked another trip to go to Clarks Shopping Village in Street with my best friend in November and I'm really looking forward to that. I'm sure it will be a great day out but the Jane Austen trip was something really special. I studied English (and Classics) at University and did a lot of work on Jane Austen's novels but I never really had much time to go deep into her personal life so today was an absolute joy. I didn't catch the name of the Blue Badge Guide but could you thank her for me? She was just brilliant.

    It was a joy to visit Jane Austen's house but surprisingly for me, the highlight of the trip was the Church in Stevenson. The (retired) Vicar there was so knowledgeable and passionate about the heritage of Jane Austen - as were the villager volunteers.

    Finally thank you so much to you! You managed the whole day wonderfully and kept so completely calm. I genuinely do not know how you do it! 

    Mrs. A B  October 2025 

    Mrs. S R

     Thank you for a truly brilliant day out at the Knit and Stitch show at Alexander Palace in London. 

    Myself and my two friends would like to thank our driver, David, for making our first trip with you so easy and relaxing. His kindness to everyone on the minibus was lovely to see. 

    We shall definitely be looking to do more trips with you in the future. 

    Best wishes 

    S R and friends. October 2025 

    Mrs. A V

     Hello Paola,

    Yesterday I went on your trip to the Alexandra Palace to the Knit & Stitch Show. I went with my dearest friend B, who had given me this outing as a birthday gift.

    I wanted to tell you that I was "blown away" by the amazing organisation of the pick-ups, the gorgeous and comfortable mini-coach and the outstanding driver, David who was so kind, solicitous and competent.

    The travel was wonderful, comfortable and .............................. I have run out of superlatives! It was perfect and flawless.

    I have your brochure now and my husband and I would like to be added to your email list for any available last minute offers. 

    We shall we booking trips with you definitely next year but even in the next few months.

    Thank you so much for providing such an amazing opportunity to visit places I never expected to get to.

    Best wishes A V, October 2025

    Mrs. S S

     Hello Paola,

    We very much enjoyed our first experience with Great Days Out. Every thing went extremely smoothly from the initial phone call to enquire if there were any seats left for the trip on the 2 of October. We were put on the waiting list as the places were all booked. However a few days later we had a call to say two seats had become available. It was so nice to be able to speak to a real person rather than booking on line it was easy to complete the booking and emails  were sent promptly to confirm everything.

    The pick up went without a hitch and also the whole day.David was very courteous and cheerful.and made sure everyone was comfortable on our journey.

    It was lovely to meet some new people and everyone was very friendly.

    We will certainly be booking again soon and we look forward to next years brochure. Many thanks for a very enjoyable day  October 2025

    Ms. H S

     Dear Paola

     Thank you for your email asking about my first day out with yourselves. 

     Loved the venue, I found a few nice ladies to talk to.    I would like to praise our driver for his driving skills and professional way of keeping an eye on us all.

     I would like to book on the trip to Oxford on the 22nd of November  

    In time expect some friends will join me ….

     Good Morning Paola, Please pass on our thanks to our tour/driver, David.  He was certainly a great ambassador for your Company and a very good driver, particularly as we encountered 2 different crashes, which resulted in having to divert a couple of times. He was certainly calm and had a very reassuring manner. Well done.  Our first time using yourselves and hopefully not the last.  Once again our thanks and best wishes, B T - August 2025

     My first Great Days Out trip was last week to Lulworth Cove and Moreton. Our driver, David, was informative, professional and demonstrated exceptional driving skills and customer service. The destinations and stops chosen made for a thoroughly enjoyable day, even with rather overcast and windy weather. This day out and the level of attention to us all could not have been bettered and I shall definitely be booking again.

    It was, indeed, a Great Day Out. Loved it! I wholeheartedly recommend booking with them.

Thoughtful and considerate driver David made the journey so enjoyable by providing information on places to eat, things to see. and also provided fans for our comfort and extra water to drink. Nothing was too much trouble. We can't wait for our next day out. We felt safe with his excellent driving. 10 out of 10 all round from us! - AUGUST 2025

    Dear Great Days Out,  

    Yesterday, Thursday 7th August, I went with my wife and 12 others to Lulworth Cove with David on your luxury mini coach.  We had an excellent trip, despite an emergency accident at Coombe Bissett, which caused a detour but  David was a first class driver, patient and cooperative and gave us an memorable ride and day out.  We would like to say thank you for this great service.

    Thank you again for an excellent trip and service. We hope to enjoy some more. Keep up the good work. - AUGUST 2025

    I had a lovely day out in Brighton and the whole experience more than lived up to expectations. Communications were very straightforward, the journey comfortable and timings perfect.  David was an excellent driver and ‘tour guide’ - friendly and accommodating.

He was professional, kind and endlessly patient - expertly driving us around Dorset, making sure everyone was happy and comfortable and pointing out places of interest. Thank you also to Paola for so efficiently handling my booking. I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail demonstrated by your company and will look forward to booking further trips in the future, as well as recommending Great Days Out to anyone who'll listen!

     “Hello Dave,  Thank you so much for the eight Great Days Out trips I have enjoyed so far this year. I am looking  forward to the next six trips already booked to the end of the year.  I can wholeheartedly recommend your trips to everyone. Each one I have been on so far has  been most enjoyable. What I like is that you take us on an adventure along the way, driving down  country lanes past little towns and villages I would not normally get to see. Once at the destination  we are given more than enough time to explore, shop and have lunch. There is a lovely friendly  atmosphere on the bus and it’s great getting to see the regular trip adventurers like myself. The  weather has been unpredictable at times but it hasn’t stopped us from enjoying ourselves.”  May 2025

I have been most inspired with the  courtesy, reliability, and total enjoyment using Arrowline Minibuses - not to mention the thorough  consideration of all those using each venture.  You are all to the commended! And I actually look forward to 2025 and many more ventures  courtesy of Great Days Out!”
