  • I just wanted to say a massive thank you from all of us on the coach to Twickenham and back. M was a very professional driver with a great attitude throughout the day and I can appreciate an Army Navy coach is not how they want to spend their day! All my customers commented on how much a difference it was to have a friendly jolly driver compared to what we have experienced previously. I will be sure to recommend your services to anyone I know needing a coach for any type of event. Also thank you for the easy, pleasant and professional team within the office - it was lovely to receive confirmation prior to the journey with the registration and drivers name and number! Kind regards and massive thanks once again. CS of Gosport, Hants
  • As per our telephone conversation, I just wanted to provide some feedback regarding us using your services for our Christmas party. The coach itself was immaculate, clean and tidy and very comfortable and the driver, R was absolutely lovely! Very pleasant and professional and made sure that we all arrived safely on time, which was quite an achievement, given the traffic! Then of course, made sure we all got back safely at the end of the night. We would have no hesitation in using Woods Travel again, or indeed recommending you to anyone else – so wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all and in particular R, for a fantastic service. Have a great Christmas. TL, Team Manager of a Local Business
  • I want to write and express our most sincere thanks and appreciation for all that Woods and J, our driver, did to make our trip to Ypres such a smooth, pleasant, and memorable occasion. Your patience and attention to detail made the administration side of this very much easier for me. J was the perfect driver, particularly when we had the M25 closure thrust upon us right at the beginning of the excursion. Baggage tags and hotel rooms all ran smoothly, and the trip was a great success for the veterans and members. A big thank you to all involved. GF, The Royal Sussex Regimental Association

He got us there in plenty of time, told everyone time show due to end, where theatre was in relation to where coach parked and where nearby eateries were. Wonderful. The person “marshalling “ coach B said everything was perfect. Good safe driver, knew route, gave out information and was very pleasant to all. So, all in all, a super day.

  • I just wanted to thank you for a really first class coach trip yesterday, when your new driver took my local RSPB group to Barnes WWT in London. Lots of people in the group commented on what a comfortable and smooth ride they had despite tricky London traffic and tight corners etc, and a very good coffee/comfort stop on the way up which you found for us (thanks for that). They also liked L who was good company, courteous and helpful throughout. It makes such a difference to have a driver who gets on with people. (We had a less than happy experience with a different coach company at last years annual outing, so as organiser I am particularly glad to have found Woods). Please pass on our combined thanks and appreciation to all concerned. S.P, of a Local RSPB Group, West Sussex

  • Just to let you know, our group had a brilliant day yesterday. Our driver, G, was a perfect gent. We were blessed with fine weather. The canal boat crew were extremely welcoming and went to great lengths to explain the history and renovation of the canal system. Being so close to the canal wildlife, fauna and flora was fascinating. Our guide at the distillery was charming and gave us a superb insight into the large amount of process required to obtain a bottle of gin. Laverstoke mill and the river Tess are well worth a visit on their own. A coach load of tired but very happy people were then dropped safely home. Many thanks for organising it. SR of Rustington, West Sussex

  • I just wanted to say Thank You for the service you provided for our Christmas Party on Friday 8 December. Both your drivers were a credit to your company. I received nothing but positive feedback on how helpful, friendly and reliable the drivers were. I met with both drivers and can confirm what a brilliant service they provided, checking with me on the Yapton lady being dropped off as the coach was too high for the bridge. The mini bus driver even made sure she got home safe. Thank you so much. Can I also just say a massive thank you to L in the office, for all the help in getting the correct size coaches and routes sorted out. Your advice and patience was outstanding. Thank you everyone and Happy Christmas. KR of Local Business in Chichester, West Sussex
