Traveler reviews
Bournemouth to Poole and back
Brilliant! Went to Poole, interesting info along the way. Thank you so much to the driver who made it a super special trip, and made sure I got off at the correct stop on the return to my hotel ☺️
Great experience
Had a lovely 48 hours on the bus tour. Our favourite stop was Branksome chine beach. Staff were very friendly and bus easy to use. Would deffo do again.
Friendly staff
Friendly staff, the only thing is when booking both bus and boat, I would advise not to book the 11am sailing as the bus doesn't get to Poole Harbour for that sailing.
Day out
Friendly staff the tour commentary was very informative
Do not waste your money on this service
We tried to stop the bus at a designated stop on two separate occasions in SandBanks, both times the driver ignored us and drove by. We paid for two days travel for two people on the day before but it was a complete waste. Terrible terrible service.
