Online booking very easy thanks to…

Online booking very easy thanks to simple and effective site. Prompt email updates to advise when timings changed slightly. Prompt change of tickets when one member of party had to pull out. Best of all, a helpful person on the end of a telephone line when we had a query.
Coach journeys are long, especially when you are in the "older" bracket. But all the transfers worked smoothly, and the fact that the skibus up to our resort was included in the price, and booked for us, was a real bonus. We would definitely use again.

Hi Cathy,

We do like to give our customers a personal service, so it is great to hear that you spoke to someone (not a robot!) easily in regards to your booking changes.

It does make a difference having the whole jounrey organised and planned for you doesn't it. The last thing you would want after a long jounrey is to not know where you need to get your connection bus up to resort. Some resorts, the coach can get to, but some we do have to pop you on smaller transfer connections. Glad to hear it all worked out ok for your group.

See you again next time.

Great option if you’re on a budget

Great option if you’re on a budget. Staff were friendly and helpful. Coach has USB ports.

Would have given more stars if you had a more premium option with coaches with seats more space and greater reclining. Found it difficult to sleep as my head kept lolling about.

Hi Russ,

Sorry that you didn't find the seats as comfortable as you had hoped. Glad that the rest of the service was good though. The USB ports definitley come in handy on long journeys!

Highly Recommend

I would be very happy to recommend Snow Express. They offer a professional service and committment to their customers.
I have used the company several times & each trip I have been more impressed.
I travelled as a solo & always felt comfortable & reassured.
Keep up the good work.

Really good

Really good. On time, clean, comfortable. Friendly, helpful staff. Only thing I could suggest would be more detailed information on when/where they are going to stop at service stations & for how long, so you can plan ahead better. Loved having USB chargers. Wifi was a bit flakey but what do you expect on a bus. Will definitely be using again.

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. It's tricky for drivers to give exact service station stop points as it all comes down to the hours that they have been driving and when they need to do changeovers, but we understand that this would be nice to know.

Glad to hear you will be back again next time!

not great

Although cheaper than flying and better for the environment it’s far from luxury. I was so uncomfortable that I strained my neck and had to take lots of drugs for the first few days of my holiday. They don’t actually turn the lights off so take an eye mask or something to block out the light. They also didn’t drop us as the ucpa, we had to take a funicular and then bus which wasn’t fun with neck pain and all my kit. I definitely won’t be doing this again which is a shame.

Seats don't recline enough and there is no leg room!

It is convenient to leave from Central London in the evening and get dropped of in the Alps, however the coach is not comfortable enough for 18hours travel, the seats don't recline enough so you can sleep, there is no leg room, wifi doesn't work or is painfully slow.
I expected a more comfortable coach for such a long journey.

Members of staff are brilliant, very helpful and polite.

Hello ER,

Thank you for your comments regarding the staff, I have passed on your compliments! ☺️

Sorry to hear you didn't find the coach super comfortable. Our coaches are designed with long distance touring in mind and we use a coach which maximises comfort and minimises the cost for our customers.

Hope to see you again in the future!

Thanks,

I have been using Snow Express to…

I have been using Snow Express to travel to French Alps for years and it has always been smooth and pleasant.
This year, however, during the return journey, after the stopover in Bourg en Bresse, the new drivers left at exact time or slightly early without checking that everybody was on board. I was walking to where I thought I would find the bus, when I met the previous drivers who rang the new drivers. The bus came back to pick us up. When I got on it, I checked the time and it was 4 minutes (only!!) after the designated departure time.
So be careful. While the drivers from Bourg en Bresse to the Alps (the father / daughter combo) are lovely, the ones closer to home are happy to leave you 'as you stand' in the middle of the night in winter at a service station, without coat, phone or money.
