Fantastic experience for the pupils

WST outstanding as ever but Chariot Coaches need to be dropped

WST outstanding as ever. Chariot coaches who they outsource the coach journeys to I would not recommend. Suggest WST end affiliation with them.

Thank you Mr Pitts! We loved seeing all our photos from the trip, it looked like you had a great time. We're looking forward to next year too :)

Can’t recommend them enough!!

WST were excellent and I wouldn’t travel with anyone else! Our rep Carole Burrows is a star and looks after us so well. She puts up with a lot from us as we are a large party, but nothing is too much trouble. WST are reliable, helpful, friendly, well organised and generally brilliant!! One of our pupils left their phone on the coach transfer from the airport to the hotel and I sent an email back to Carole to see if there was anything she could do and she got it back for us on the return transfer! She really went the extra mile as she did a lot of the chasing up of this at home due to the time difference. The rep at the airport was lovely and helpful too and ensured everything was OK. The app while we were in New York was brilliant and the whole itinerary was planned brilliantly and executed perfectly! I can not recommend WST enough!

Date of experience : 23 April 2019

Thank you for leaving a lovely review and mentioning how Carole helped to get the phone back to you. We are are always proud to hear such great feedback on our staff and we will pass on the acknowledgment to the airport rep. We hope to hear from you again soon!
