Staff and service excellent

Right from booking, the staff were so helpful. We were a family of 5 travelling the busiest week of the year at Feb half term. Everything was so well organised getting on & off coach. One child has additional needs, and the staff were so considerate of this, making sure we had seats together and seats that best met the child's difficulties, reserving these for us there and on the way back and giving priority boarding. This turned what is normally a very stressful travel situation for the family into a calm and much easier experience. I can't thank them enough.

Joanne, thank you so much for your detailed review! It is really reassuring to hear that we were able to make what can be a high stress activity as smooth as possible. We understand fully the stress that travelling can cause and by minimising this we have certainly done our jobs! I will let all the team know, thank you once again. The Snow Express Team

Absolutely excellent

Absolutely excellent, communication from David and the whole experience. My son recently went over half term, armed with twenty four films had a wonderful trip! Definite for next year! Many thanks.

Mr Helm, I am so pleased to hear! 24 films sounds like an incredible selection to choose from! We look forward to welcoming your son on board again soon, and perhaps yourself too?! Thanks, The Snow Express Team

Excellent! 5stars!

Excellent! Safety next to none! Very pleasant trip! Thank you and I will definitely recommend!

The only thing maybe was when I went straight to the main Victoria Coach station, I had to ask around where the meeting point was. Perhaps it was me I asked the wrong staff etc. I followed 3 young guys with ski gears who were also trying to find out but managed to check or call the company on their iPhone the correct details.

Hi Nicholas, that is the benefit of our less popular weeks! But you're right regarding removing the expense of flying... 'budget airlines' look cheap on the surface, but add a taxi/car park, hold bag, ski bag, airport transfer... and all of a sudden it is super expensive! We look forward to welcoming you back on board soon. Thanks, The Snow Express Team

Great travel option

Great option for 'budget' travel to the alps. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the coaches are as comfortable as a long haul coach could be!

Good journey spoil by hooray henry passengers!

3rd time my wife and I have travelled with Snow Express. Very efficient, kept good time, comfortable new bus. Would be 5 stars except we had the misfortune to be seated (outward and return) at the back of the bus next to a group of half a dozen hooray henry university students who drank (against your rules), covered the bus in litter and spent most of their waking time discussing their (mythical?) sexual encounters. They were warned by your staff about their drinking and we did ask them to tone down their conversations, but to no avail. Not sure we would book again unless we could book seats (away from the back of the bus!).

Hello Brian, thank you for your review, despite it not being great news for us. I am sorry to hear about the disruption caused by the students - we do try to control the alcohol ban as much as possible, and I am truly sorry that some people managed to slip through our net! We will try to counter any issues like this better in the future. Please send us an email if you would like any more information. Thanks, The Snow Express Team

Could not recommend enough!

It was a very pleasant experience. Much more so than I would have expected from that many hours on a coach. I was very happy with the generous leg room, comfy reclining seats, and usb ports for charging my phone. The staff too, were incredibly friendly and helpful. I will definitely be using this service again when I next ski, and will be recommending to everyone. Now I've experienced it, it seems the only logical way to travel!

Thank you Lily! It's always surprising how comfortable it is isn't it?! And then you find out it is much better for the environment too when compared to flying or the train... We look forward to welcoming you back on board soon! Thanks, The Snow Express Team

The driver

The driver left the immigration office without me and I had to run after the bus to catch up. Thanks for the early morning exercise.

Fantastic travel company

Fantastic travel company, I had an issue with my ticket (my fault) and they were incredibly helpful in making sure I was able to get the right coach. Comfortable, on time and friendly staff. Thank you very much!

Very comfortable and affordable. They were very kind and caring cardigans allowed me to have 2 seats to keep my injured knee straight.
Please ensure toilets address equipped with basic needs and all usb ports actually work.
Would definitely travel with them again.
Thank you.

Hi Yue,

Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience with us. Unfortunately during peak weeks the bus does fill up and despite having above average leg room, it can seem crowded. Of course the airports are extremely busy during these weeks too, as is the nature with the travel industry for peak season weeks.

If you have any further issues please contact us at info@snowexpress.co.uk where we will be happy to help.

Thanks, The Snow Express Team

Great way to get to the Alps

The coach journey went smoothly. The coach was comfortable for the long journey. An easy, stress free way to get to the Alps.
