On behalf of the 12th Deal Scout Group can I thank you and Bayliss Coaches for making our trip so great. The coach and driver were impeccably turned out , the coach arrived  at Deal Pier with plenty of time to spare before we had to leave. The driver gave us impeccable service, a great credit to the company.  It was lovely, on a hot day, to travel in air conditioned comfort.

Once again, many thanks from the 12th Deal Scout Group

Kind regards

Hi Kirsty,

I never sent a message in December to say a big thank you for the service that James your driver gave us so helpful and polite. 

And today the trip to the postal museum, driver Holly. Such a smooth driver and again so helpful and polite. 

Overal such a good service and for Clive to ring you at short notice and supply a Coach for today said it all.

Excellent service and hope to be able to continue to have your service in the future.

Dear Alistair,

I would like to say a massive thank you for providing the coaches for the Dover District Youth Conference 2019.  The young people and teachers were transported safely, efficiently and professionally from school to the venue. The whole service you have provided to us was outstanding, efficient and understood, so I would like to thank you for this also.

Well done, we all had a really good day!

Kindest Regards,

Dear Alistair,


I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you, Bayliss Travel and Paul the driver for allowing us the use of the Sheffield United team bus for our Respect Team of the Month winners, AFC Dronfield, to  transport them to and from Tuesday’s fixture.  This was an amazing experience for the team and everyone involved on the night. Rewards like this really help to drive the message across that showing Respect and positive behaviours and attitudes in football really do pay off.


The team had an amazing night and all have said that the whole night is something that they will never forget, so once again from myself and behalf of Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA, thank you for allowing  AFC Dronfield the opportunity of a ‘money can’t buy’ experience. 


Kind Regards

To all that this may concern,


I would like to pass my thanks on to all who made this trip possible. 

From start to finish the trip was easy to book, pay and contact someone if need be. Staff were friendly and helpful but special thanks goes to our driver Jamie. From the moment we got on the coach we felt looked after and any questions we had were answered and we were reassured. The driver was a very careful and considerate driver and at all times we felt comfortable in his care. 

We were constantly informed of what was happening, where to meet and when. Check in and getting into the park was so simple. 

Please pass on all our thanks to the driver Jamie and your staff who gave us an excellent unforgettable few days away.

Thank you. We will definitely be booking something again with you really soon.

Dear Bayliss Executive Travel,

We have just returned from a week long holiday to Austria and wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we had!

Our driver James was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for him and he looked after our entire group from the moment we boarded.

The hotel in Mayrhofen was so good, they made sure our rooming requests were met and we had a truly pleasant stay.

All of the excursions were well organised and we managed to see so much throughout our trip including river cruises, castles and cable cars.

It was such a good break for us both and we look forward to travelling with you again in the future, in fact we are already looking to book another trip!

Thank you again,

Mr & Mrs Kemp

Dear all at Bayliss Executive Travel,

We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Rotterdam with our driver Rob and I wanted to share how much we enjoyed ourselves.

Please can you say a huge thank you to Rob, who went above and beyond his duties to ensure we had a smooth journey and got the most out of our long weekend. He was truly brilliant!

Our hotel was beautiful, the SS Rotterdam Floating Hotel! The cabin style rooms were all in original decor but with everything we may need, as was the ship itself. The food was delicious too.

This was my first coach holiday so I didn't really know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised with it, the itinerary appealed to all ages and everything we needed was catered for.

Thank you again to Bayliss Executive Travel, a great trip and I look forward to my next one.

Regards,

Hi,

Good Evening

I am not sure if this will get through to the right person but I would
appreciate it if this message could be passed on to James, our recent driver
who took 26 students and 4 staff from Brompton Academy, in Gillingham Kent,
to Disney Land Paris.

We were picked up very efficiently and effectively on Sunday morning where
we began our journey to Disney Land. Brompton have run this same business
trip to Disney Land for about 5 years now, as well as many others throughout
they Years. The staff that travelled to Disney have collectively been on
several trips over the years gone by, and I can confidently say we haven't
had a better journey, than our recent to Disney Land in a long long time!

Our driver James was helpful, talkative, polite, very professional and most
importantly made our journey very enjoyable. James added that extra touch to
our trip and our experience was enhanced by the ease of the journey, which
you can imagine is a big part of the planning.

On behalf of the staff and students who attended the trip I would like to
thank James for making our school trip complete. We would be very happy to
work with Bayliss Travel again in the future.

Kindest Regards

To All the Team at Bayliss,

Thank you so much for the trip on Saturday, it was AMAZING!

I was stunned that Trevor had arranged for me to lay my wreath during the actual service on Saturday, it is an experience that I will never forget.  We all had a great time and I would also like to thank the office staff who have been so helpful and reassuring in meeting my needs, our coach seats were perfect and the drivers were lovely sorting out my mobility scooter whenever needed. 

I would have no hesitation in recommending Bayliss.

Thank you again

Yet another excellent trip by Bayliss Executive Travel with Karen and Darren. Good organisation and great driving. Two boats were hired for our rather large party making it more comfortable and less crushed for all.

I look forward to the trip to see "The Lion King" in London next Wednesday.

Dear Simone

 

Patsy and I would just like to pass on our thanks to Karen and Darren for our wonderful day out in Le Touquet yesterday.

 

We dare say Karen and Darren will tell you all about our journey through Calais port yesterday afternoon but we would like to let you know that you have in Karen a member of your team to be proud of. As soon as she saw that the delays in checking our passports could jeopardise our ferry crossing she arranged for us to be fast tracked through. How her charms didn't win the heart of the jobs worths frenchman responsible for loading the vehicles onto the ferry we will never know as we did get there in time, mais c'est La France. And, from that point on Karen and Darren had to work so hard negotiating with P&O loading staff.

 

Anyway, no harm done, it didn't spoil our wonderful day out in Le Touquet with our preferred coach operator with their highly professional team.

 

Patsy and I will be back on the 2nd July for our trip to Bruges.

 

Kind regards

To Whom It May Concern,


REF: Wedding trip in Bruges


May I please introduce myself as Dean Cox, a family member on the recent trip to Bruges for the wedding of Billy Lee & Nicole King (my niece).

The father of the bride, Martin King, is my cousin. Martin and his wife Caroline organised the whole trip.


Now may I thank you and your company for supplying the driver, Dave (so sorry surname unknown). He was an excellent driver / guide on the trip.

He went above & beyond the call of his duty to provide an excellent service / shuttle runs between the wedding venue and the hotels.

His polite and courteous manner is an asset to your company. Please pass on my thanks on behalf of us all via this email to Dave,

Once again may I congratulate your company on providing such an outstanding service.


Kind Regards,

Dean Cox

Dear Robert,

This is just a short note to thank you for organising our recent transfers to and from Heathrow. 

Also, we did not want to let the opportunity pass without complimenting the service that your company provided to us, in particular your driver (Derek), who was the ultimate professional.  He was courteous and friendly and his driving skills allowed us to be totally comfortable and relaxed at all times.  He certainly is an excellent ambassador for your company.

All too often we are quick to complain about services received and not so prompt to compliment a great service when it is received, so this is the reason for writing to you.  We will have no hesitation in using your company in the future for any similar requirements we may have and will also take great pleasure in recommending you to our friends and family.

Again many thanks to all in Bayliss.

We wanted to say thank you for our wonderful holiday to Austria.

Trish our on-board hostess was brilliant, good fun and very professional. Nothing was too much trouble. Really made everyone feel part of the group and spent time with us all.

As for our driver James, he was simply excellent! As a retired driver of buses, James ensured we always felt safe and comfortable at all times. He handled everything and anything that was thrown at him. Professional in both his appearance and attitude to driving.

The hotel was also faultless, if you add it back in your brochure for 2018 we will definitely be booking again!

Many thanks,

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to say thank you for our recent trip to Paris.  As you will be aware, it did not go completely to plan and we had to return two days early due to the terror attack on the city centre.

Our driver, Martin, could not have been any more understanding.  Right from the minute he picked the students up from school he was friendly and courteous and he was very knowledgeable about the trip and the situation.

I have been on many school trips with different coach companies, and Martin is by far the best driver I have had.

Please pass on my thanks to Martin – his professionalism was very much appreciated.  We do hope to rearrange this trip when things in France are more stable and would be very pleased to have Martin as out driver again.

Dear Alistair,

I just wanted to drop you a line to say a huge thank you to your team who took us on our recent school ski trip, February 2015.

Darren and Dave were utterly amazing for the entire trip.  They were professional, good humoured, patient and incredibly kind.  They made our trip!  

I cannot think of two other drivers I would want to go on a trip with.  I will certainly request them for any future trips.
My only regret is that your company is not more local to Cambridge otherwise we would book with you for all our visits, trips and events.

I cannot recommend Darren, Dave and your whole company enough.

Sincere thanks and best wishes

Thank you for once again providing excellent service, a lovely comfortable coach and a superb driver for our holiday in Norfolk. Colin, like all your drivers are a credit to your company and a real pleasure to deal with. We took the sunshine with us and to be honest it did get a little too warm, but everyone had a great holiday and Royalty thrown in as well. Everyone remarked how safe they felt with Colin at the wheel especially my Wife Dot who acted as his Courier, and those that normally suffer with travel sickness felt no effects of it at all.

I just wanted to drop a short line to say an enormous thank you to the Bayliss team and to Rob in particular for our smooth and successful trip to Birmingham over the last couple of days. Your coach was amazing, Rob’s professionalism and manner was fantastic, and his flexibility and willingness to please was immensely helpful. What was also brilliant was the way which Rob became part of our team – we were performing at a National Music Festival/contest and he really got on board with the excitement and fun of it, mucking in and getting caught up in the buzz of the festival, but remaining professional and courteous throughout.

Please accept our thanks for arranging the coach trip home in light of the cancelation of our flight yesterday (Monday) from Paris to Leeds. The coach and its team of drivers were absolutely first rate, as was the coach we travelled in. The drivers did all they could supporting everyone travelling on the bus, shearing relevant journey information and channels tunnel procedures, more importantly keeping a long journey upbeat.

Our thanks also to jet 2 for speedily addressing with a positive solution to the situation, please except our thanks to both companies for your help in getting us back to Leeds quickly and safely 

Thanks from myself and my wife

A very big "Thank You" for the excellent service that we received from your Company and from your drivers on our recent return trip from Sandwich to Gatwick Airport.

Your drivers were fantastic, extremely safe drivers, punctual, pleasant. professional and very helpful. The entire family had a great holiday in Mexico but of course it was helped by the lack of concern or worry over our transport. We would not hesitate to recommend you or to use you again ourselves.

Thank you for what turned out to be an excellent day yesterday.  Absolutely every aspect of your coaching arrangements went perfectly.  The bus turned up exactly on time (15 minutes prior to departure as promised) and Colin - our driver - could not have been more supportive.  
 
The parents who turned out at 6.00am to see their children off on a very long days event were impressed and grateful to see the quality of the coach - so much more professional than others we have come across in the past.  
 
What could have been a very long journey (both ways including the M25 at rush hour) turned out to be so relaxing and comfortable for all concerned that the day was a total success.
 
I am copying colleagues into this note and will be circulating your details generally in the school. I am sure that you will be hearing from others who need to book transport and are looking for great quality service will be contacting you.
 
Thank you again.
