Gold Crest Holidays

"A fantastic trip to Paris and…"
A fantastic trip to Paris and Versailles in the half term week in May. Our coach driver, Lee, from Red Rose Travel was brlillant. He was very helpful and knowledgable and dropped us off in a central location and picked us up at a time convenient to us. The hotel was clean and tidy with fresh towels and bedlinem every day. Thoroughly recommended.

"Disneyland Paris"
We booked a 5 day / 3 nights trip to Disneyland Paris during the late May Half Term school holidays. It was our second time travelling with Gold Crest, having done the same trip 4 years before. Prices have gone up a bit in that time of course :-(
Disney apparently don't allow coach operators to stay on-site anymore, so we were placed in a small hotel about 30 minutes away. The hotel looked awful from the outside, but appearances can be deceptive as the staff, rooms and gardens were fantastic!
Our coach driver - Lee from Red Rose - was outstanding and really went the extra mile with customer satisfaction.
Although this type of holiday can be a long slog at times being stuck on a coach, I have never managed to build a Disneyland Paris trip cheaper myself and the local pick-up/drop-off from our nearest town is a joy.
Hopefully they will add more 5 day/3 night trips during school holidays to Disneyland Paris in the future.
We will be back!

"Overall a great trip"
Overall a great trip. Communication leading up to the trip was great, we had a clear idea of what was happening. The mini bus, feeder coach and main coach we all great and worked well with transfers.
The hotel we stayed at was basic but met our needs, we found out this was the first time gold crest had stayed there, it did feel a little far out from Disney but overall no issues.
My main complaint is the times of the coach, we left to late for my liking in a morning, when the parks open at half 9 and the coach isn't leaving till almost 10 it feels like a waste of a morning. Coming back we had 1 chance to see the fireworks which the driver warned us so we knew to see them. The next night he did say he would be leaving at half 10 unless there were any objections, which was more then fine with us. Even earlier then next night as we were leaving early the next day, so this is something to be aware of if planning to book meals etc.
Our driver was brilliant, very friendly and helpful
Coach home was straight through from the ferry with 1 stop which makes it a long trek!

"Disneyland Paris Magical But Gold Creast Disappointing"
Booked 4 days (3 nights) (2 days in disneyland)
I am very disappointed and not happy and upset about my recent visit to Disneyland Paris because on the first day we was there on the coach had to leave at 11:30pm and the fireworks finished 11:20pm and with all the rush I couldn't stay to see it and had to leave alot early to beat the ques so had to leave the park at 11:05pm and then the second day we leaved at 10pm !!! I wanted to be a magical event and spent alot of money to go and always looking forward to spending my time in disneyland but was very much disappointed !!! We didn't stop of at hyper supermarket on last day and went stright to ferry from hotel !! why advertise this when it never happened !!!
Bring Back Disney Dash !

"Just returned from Disneyland Paris our…"
Just returned from Disneyland Paris our driver John and partner Maggie were brilliant keeping us well informed on the journey. Had a great time in Disney on way home was informed the ports in France had gone on strike so couldn’t get on a ferry till later that day or maybe next morning, Gold Crest we’re brilliant and managed to get us on the euro tunnel home. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again.

"Great driver Simon"
Just came back from disneyland paris we travelled with gold crest coaches. We had a lovely journey there and back thanks to our driver Simon who was very friendly and very helpful. We had plenty of breaks to get food and to stretch our legs the coach was clean and comfortable to travel.

"Avoid at all costs"
I’d give zero stars if possible. I booked a last minute (17 days before) trip to Disneyland Paris through their website. The website offered a pickup point in our local town which was a five minute walk from our home. Paid in full. Didn’t get a pickup time on the confirmation but did get the pickup point that we had chosen. Contacted them to find out the time only to be told they hadn’t sorted it yet and the transport manager would ring with the time. A few hours later received an email saying it was too late to organise a pickup in our town and they wanted us to get to Cardiff (20 miles away) in the middle of the night and get on a National Express coach to London before joint their coach. So instead of a few hundred yards the pickup was actually 200 miles away. Apparently their systems can’t remove unavailable pickup points from the website. Ridiculous in the 21st century. They didn’t seem to grasp that this was not on.

"Christmas Market Break Holland / Germany"
We had a fab time on our break. Our coach driver Damien was extremely helpful and the coaches were comfortable, offering tea/coffee-making facilities and a toilet. There were regular breaks/stops for food & drink. We even made a stop at the Belgian chocolate shop on our trip home. Would highly recommend using Gold Crest Holidays. Great value!

"Very well organised"
Very well organised. Helpful literature with the reassurance of phone numbers if worried. Everything was as it should be and where it should be. Would recommend and would use again.

"We recently returned from our trip to…"
We recently returned from our trip to Disney as a family of 7 (3 adults 3 children and an infant). Our drivers Alan and Martin were amazing, very friendly, polite, welcoming. Alan's interaction with the infant was brilliant he finally got a smile after 30 mins. The journey down to Dover was smooth although we did have a delay due to traffic (protesters on M25) but this couldn't be helped as it was out of their hands. They kept us updated throughout the journey. The coach was comfortable, clean which made it a relaxing journey. We bumped into Alan and Martin during our stay and they we're still very polite and asking us how we was enjoying it so far. The hotels were amazing as always, the food was great. The journey home again was smooth at no traffic due to hours of traveling. This is the 4th time traveling via Goldcrest and I would definitely recommend them. From booking to coming home they was fantastic. We are currently in the process of booking for March 2023 for ny niece's 30th birthday. Thank you Goldcrest and thank you Alan and Martin
