The Surrey Hills Tour Company

We had the most wonderful day on this tour, Linda has a wonderful way to move you seamlessly through each element without feeling rushed.She took time to ensure everyone felt welcomed and comfortable to enjoy the day.We went as a group of 6 friends but there were couples and family groups which spanned all the ages.If you are wondering if this is a lovely day out - it is, it really is.

Just absolutely wonderful, we had the best time!!! Excellent value for money and Linda is just such a sweetheart. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much for a really enjoyable, special day out, to places we’ve always meant to go but never been. If you’re unsure whether or not to book, this is your sign to just do it, you absolutely won’t regret it!!!!

Linda is marvellous and is SO lovely! Her warm, friendly nature and attention to detail is first class - she looks after everyone throughout the experience, always making sure they are comfortable and enjoying themselves!The vintage bus ride itself is very entertaining, as it ambles up the hills giving ample opportunity for non-stop chats and laughter!! The itinerary is packed and provides the chance to experience and sample some of the produce of Surrey's finest artisans, and to learn about their very interesting journeys/stories. Driving through and stopping off at some of Surrey's pretty villages and scenic spots is wonderful ...... and it's fun seeing the delightful expressions on the faces of passers by, obviously wondering who we are, as the bus comes to a halt in the car park or road side!!The bus tour is such a joyful and different way to spend time making special memories with friends or family - or even as a solo traveller; the whole experience is warm and welcoming from start to finish!!

We booked a boat trip & we had a great time going through the locks & sailing past Hampton Court. It was a lovely fun day out.

I had a wonderful time on the River Thames boat tour yesterday! It was very relaxing, so much to see and lovely meeting so many nice people. We all had such a laugh! Lunch at the river pub was just delicious! Linda did a really great job in making us all welcome from the moment we stepped on board, and greeted us with champagne and strawberries, and rounded it all off with coffee/ tea and cake. Highly recommended and I am looking forward to another tour soon!

This is not just any tour..... this is a SURREY HILLS TOUR. If you are looking for a great day out admiring the lovely countryside in a vintage bus, sampling the local produce and enjoying a fantastic lunch, this is the perfect tour for you!The whole tour was very well organised and Linda added so many personal touches to make the day so enjoyable. I still don’t know how on earth she managed to remember all our names! This is just one example of how professional she is and is totally focused on her guests having the best time. Mark, the driver was a true gentleman, very kind and considerate, who expertly drove through the villages. I imagine the vintage bus is a very difficult vehicle to drive, no modern technology to assist with the hill climbs! Both Linda and Mark are very knowledgeable and go that extra mile to celebrate a special occasion. Really loved the way in which we celebrated my husband’s birthday with a gift card and cake which was truly appreciated.We particularly liked the train ride through the vineyards, stopping at the top, not only to enjoy the views across Surrey Hills, but to sample the delicious produce and listen to Geoff's vast knowledge on the history of the vineyards. I must also add that the other guests were such good company, what a great crowd! We are already planning our next tour, highly recommended.

I would encourage anyone to join Linda on the Narrow Boat Tour. You will meet new people, learn how to steer and secure the boat with ropes, go through the locks, stop for a lovely two course lunch and see all the wildlife on the river. I really enjoyed being on the Thames, seeing the beautiful houses and gardens, as well as other boats and the friendly people who wave at you! It was so much fun!

The tour was just brilliant from the arrival meet and greet to departure, all on time, handled in a relaxed unhurried way, yet jam packed with activities. Linda knew everyones names -wow amazing. The general atmosphere was so happy and enjoyable but just looking at the coach/bus made one smile. Mark and Linda were perfect hosts at all times, nothing too much trouble, all done with good grace, a smile and sense of humour. We made candles, canapés, chocolates and watched Christmas wreath making, drank mulled wine, ate mince pies and had a beautiful two course lunch with lovely company, followed by a stroll in the countryside. Phew how did we do all that! Parking was easy at Dorking station. All in all a brilliant day out and would highly recommend to my friends, many thanks .

Fabulous fun day out. Beautiful scenery, lovely vintage transport that conjures up thoughts of a bygone era when travel was an elegant luxury. Amazing hosts and an added bonus of supporting some wonderful small businesses.The day put me in mind of a luxury tasting menu at a top restaurant. We got to try lots of different tastes, sights and smells all wrapped up in a beautiful vintage bus package

Took my mum on the vintage bus tour last year, for her birthday. Thoroughly enjoyed a lovely day out, visiting a variety of local places in the Surrey hills. Demonstration were great with a variety of food and drink samples along the way. Lovely lunch at Carlos, friendly people. Great ride on the Bedford bus driven by the lovely Gilbert. Linda was a great hostess adding in the extra touches and on hand to make sure we all had a great day! Definitely recommend!
