We have used this firm on several occasions and they have always been reliable and professional. The coaches and once a double decker bus were clean and cared for. The drivers have always been helpful and relaxed. We won’t be using any other firm for our next trip out

I had the pleasure of taking a tour of London on Saturday, June 22, 2024, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our Driver, Patrizio, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the city, and he made the tour both informative and entertaining. He was also very friendly and accommodating, and he went out of his way to make sure that everyone in the group had a great time. The bus was clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning was much appreciated on a warm summer day. The route of the tour was well-planned, and we saw all of the major sights, including Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and the Houses of Parliament. Patrizio provided us with plenty of interesting facts and stories about each of the landmarks, and he also gave us some insider tips on where to go and what to see. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting London for the first time.

Thanks for every thing, we had 2 very good driver, on time, comfortable.

Just to let you know my teachers’ here said Kovi was amazing yesterday going to G & L, terrible traffic but he was friendly and really lovely to have as a driver

Hi Anthony, May I thank you and your driver Keith on a splendid day, the coach was perfect and your driver impeccable and attentive. Please pass on my sincere thanks for all those involved behind the scenes who made this happen.

I just wanted to say that the current driver is the best driver we have had yet; he is reliably on time, helps students with their bags and is always friendly and polite. When he has to park in a slightly different place due to parking restrictions, around a corner, he will get out of the bus, and check that all students are aware of the new parking place. I can’t overstate how good it is to have such a reliable driver and the fraught mornings of calling to find out where a bus is, or when it will be arriving, are now very few and far between.

Every year we hold an event at Tobacco Docks with a footfall of 18,000 customers. So everyone can enjoy a beer or 2 in the sunshine, we run a shuttle service to and from The Bike Shed in Shoreditch, to Tobacco Docks. With Wattsway Travel this was a huge success! See you next year, The Bike Shed x

I would like to give you feedback that your drivers (Kovi and Ian) provided exemplary service this weekend. Polite, professional and kind to the students and staff. They also arrived promptly (and before the required time) which we really appreciated. Please could you pass on our thanks?

I want to thank you, on behalf of our group, for giving us such a good and helpful driver. Driver was a joy to be with, both on our travels and at dinner each evening. He always went the extra mile to help us, nothing was too much trouble and he managed to park in some splendidly tight places in order to save our legs!

Anna Terrington Sun, 12 May, 23:01 (11 hours ago) to me Hi Anthony and Team, We are on our way back from the three peaks weekend and we just wanted to say what an amazing weekend it has been for us all. Both Simon and Neil from start to finish have been so professional and amazing. Adjusting agendas etc to fit with changes over the weekend. We couldn’t have done the weekend without them. Please pass on our thank you’s they both really do deserve the credit. Many thanks Anna

Excellent, I was a passenger on a booked shearngs tour. The coach was in pristine condition, clean. The driver Diane drove us all without fault and exceedingly safely she is kind and considerate to all the passengers. I highly recommend this company

My friend and I lost a tyre on the very remote Birker Fell while travelling back from a long and demanding walk in the Lake District. We didn’t have a spare and my recovery service couldn’t get a vehicle up there. Instead, they contacted CMAC who managed to find a driver, Torres, from Getaway Travel, who was willing to attend and drive us both back to Preston. He arrived at 02:00 and got us back just after 04:00. Torres was absolutely lovely and we chatted away all the way back while my mate slept in the back. We were just so grateful that he was willing to come out at such an ungodly hour.

They go above and beyond. We have enjoyed several trips out now and cant recommend highly enough. Thank you, greenslades

Great service turned up on time will use again cheers

Used gateway last year. Excellent all round service. Travelled to Manchester with return collection booking. Highly recommended

Absolutely brilliant service couldn't be more happier the taxi was on time so wasnt waiting around for ages and the driver was polite

Absolutely brilliant service. Will always be number one for airport runs and private hire, 5 stars!!!

Great friendly service, pleased how easy it was with helpful drivers highly recommended

Me and 4 friends booked to be collected from a pub in Ulverston, Mark arrived right on time and took us through to barrow. He played all the music we liked we were laughing and singing the whole way home.

Would just like to congratulate Getaway Travel on their new online booking system. This new online way of booking is fabulous. It's so easy to use, and you receive the quote really quickly. I've just booked two journeys for my family, and I have been impressed with the professionalism and speed of response. Truly seamless. Well done. I will review the actual trip once that has taken place in May 2024. Thank you

Hi Anthony, Just a brief note to say thank you for your company’s excellent service yesterday. Your driver was excellent (please pass on our thanks), the coach was very comfortable, and it all contributed to a fantastic day out for the lads and parents alike. Best, Ali.

What a wonderful company, went the extra mile, cant recommend them highly enough, Robbie was a star.

Dear Anthony, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the coach travel last week. We loved the VIP coach ( it's the poshest coach we have ever been on) - and the driver was brilliant. We really enjoyed him telling us some interesting facts about London. Thanks Sarah

Hi John Oska looked after us really well yesterday and just wanted to say thank you. He was brilliant to deal with and the whole group had great fun with him. Thanks again and won't hesitate to recommend your company to anyone looking for coach hire.

As always an impeccable experience from booking to return. This is the second time we have used Marett's Chariots and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Anthony is a delight to deal with and Bruno, who drove us on this occasion was simply superb.
