Franziska The first bus at the Island was a disaster. It was raining pretty bad and it rained into the bus. Additionally, my backpack got soaked and I was scared about my electronics! You nearly drowned my laptop...
But after that the speed boat was okay and the bus for the long ride was really nice and comfortable! Staff were really nice though.

Gemma DCommunication was good and staff were helpful with WhatsApp messages etc. The coach was due to leave at 1130am, arrive at 3pm. We eventually left town at 1pm and arrived at 630pm. I have no idea why they spent 90 mins collecting people from hotels which were all within a 10 min walk to the depot to delay the journey 90 minutes. The delay caused us to get caught in horrendous traffic which we’d have missed had we departed as expected.
Booking confirmation does in fairness say there could be a 5 hour variance in the times published and actual times but given this was only a short journey I hadn’t expected it.
There also wasn’t enough seats on the coach so had to sit on the guides seat at the front whilst he sat in the aisle or the coach.
Furthermore, as with all companies, it appears they post a nice photo of a luxury bus/coach, only to find what turns up is an old knacker. This isn’t however exclusive to Good Morning.
