What an absolute shitshow of a company. DO NOT USE!!! My bestfriend booked this company for my hen do for a 12 o’clock pickup until 1 to be dropped off in Leeds. It got to about 10 past 12 and no sign of them. They ring her up about quarter past saying they are lost and can’t find the house which is fair enough these things happen. Another 15 mins past and a few phone call exchanges are made for him to realise he has gone to the complete wrong address in Sheffield (Barnsley road which is a VERY common address) instead of where we live. Sheffield is a good 30 min drive away from us so all he can do is apologise. Again we took it in our stride, mistakes happen! However we all had a cocktail making class booked for 1.30 in Leeds which we tried to rearrange but we couldn’t as it was fully booked up for all the other sessions so now we have all lost out on a £10 deposit. When the driver FINALLY showed up at 1.15 (an hour and 15 minutes late!) we were all having a good time for 35 minutes!!!! When everyone had paid for an hours ride!!!! So 2 full bottles of bubbly were left behind and god knows how many half’s. Obviously being quite disappointed with it, even the bus driver told us to contact the company in the morning to explain what had happened to see if they would compensate us for the deposit we all lost and the time we paid for on the bus but DIDNT get to enjoy. My dad tried to ring up but they wouldn’t speak to him because my bestfriend did all the booking. So she gets in contact only for them to blame it all on her because she didn’t specify the address was Barnsley and not Sheffield even though she told them the postcode to which his reply was ‘we don’t use the postcode’ like that’s a normal thing to do when going to new places ??? Right laugh. He was so rude to her on the phone and completely made out like it was all her fault and that we ‘only lost a tenner each’. She told him that she would be leaving a bad review to which his reply was ‘I’ll leave a comment back’ . What an absolute shocking company and even more shocking customer service. Do NOT USE . They don’t deserve the custom.

went on a hen party with this company, 32 seater to York. driver had 2 jobs booked in the same night, so when he picked us up at 2am he had just dropped off another group, not his fault at all, the bus was full of rubbish empty bottles, half full glasses and the seats were soaking wet, the driver did dry the seat but I wish I had got the train, when you book a bus for 900 quid you don't expect this. I do not normally complain and this is not aimed at the driver, as he is obviously following instructions from the company, but this is sheer greed booking 2 jobs in on one night, making it a sub standard service.

We booked the 32 Seater party bus for my hen night out to Leeds and me and the girls loved every minute of it from start to finish!!! The driver was very polite and accommodating to every thing we asked him to do, we got 8 bottles of wine to drink on the party bus and they sure went down well ;@) me and the girls didn't have one complaint about the party bus or driver at all and would totally recommend this company to any one to get your party kick started off and finish.

Where to start, I booked the 21 seat party bus for my birthday. After reading all the reviews I thought it looked fabulous, everyone seemed very excited - I read no negative reviews at all so what more could you ask for. (A bit too good to be true maybe?) On the day, the bus arrived late after the driver taking no notice of my instructions. Wasn't going to let this bother us, everybody was too excited to even care. When the bus arrived, our driver sounded very miserable and tired - after putting it in there that he's driven a very long way to pick us up, isn't that part of his job? The bus was a 21 seater, there were 20 of us - a mixture of men and women some big some small, unfortunately the bus only actually seated 18 of us at a squeeze! we aren't obese!! I had nothing but everyone complaining at me saying I must of ordered a wrong size bus - which I hadn't! With everybody complaining to me my only option was to complain to our driver - which he did not appreciate, he decided to tell me this is why he packed his job in previously because he couldn't handle all the complaints, like I said who else am I supposed to complain to on the night? (Oh and all the complaints he had but no negative reviews hmm?) After a few drinks we all became more relaxed and accepted the fact we were all squashed but just dealt with it, couldn't let the bus ruin our night after all. I spent a full day making a playlist to plug into what I was told a USB for iPhones, which wasn't on there. What we had was an AUX lead and Bluetooth. Something else for us all to moan about when the music crashed every now and then. So I'd advise others to just listen to the music provided on the bus, at least then you'll have TVs on too. Oh and if you want karaoke, make sure you tell the driver. We had no karaoke which was a shame, apparently it should have been us asking for it - I expected it to be there set up, ready for us. But hey hoooo. One thing that did it for me that made me feel ripped off was that when I phoned to book, they explained it would cost us more than usual as they are travelling a far distance which means the driver would have to sit, wait and couldn't do any more trips. (They even gave me other companies to call as they felt it would be a waste of a Saturday night for them unless they were to charge us more) Fair enough I thought, we all agreed to paying a little extra. So, why on the night were we being rushed so they could pick up the next party!? Fair enough do as many trips etc but do not lie saying this is why they need to charge us more than usual? Ridiculous. I phoned after the weekend to explain all my issues, it was a no win situation. A come-back for everything I said so I felt as if I'd wasted my time. The guy actually advised that if there is a 21person party, order a 36 seater! If there's a 16person party order a 21 bus. Surely that says it all!? Give him his due, he was understanding and listened to all I had to say. It's just a shame that two hours after the call I actually received a personal text message from the driver being very sarcastic, thanking me for complaining that he's a 'miserable driver' very unprofessional. I aren't usually one to complain but when you expect high expectations to experience all the above, and little things such as not having any ice in the ice-buckets? Or is that me being petty? I hope people read this for a bit of truth, i thought it was a bit too good to be true there being no truthful reviews? I do hope people find this useful. Happy partying!!

Very disappointed with the heap of scrap that was sent to replace their "broken down" party bus! Told a few hours before it was due to turn up that it wasn't coming! The one sent from Leeds was dirty. It had a sticky residue on the seats and in the bottle holders, the windows had dirty hand prints all over them. The tv's where tiny and one was broken! The replacement was no where near the same facilities advertised for their 16 seater! The replacement sent looked like an ambulance painted with a bit of white and pink! It was cheaper to hire than the one we paid for! Wasn't given any oppertunity to choose something different. A standard limo would have been better. The lack of apology is appaling and the refund offered is a total joke! Just told that it caused no disruption to our day, but it caused huge disappointment to all who paid a lot of money for something we didn't get! Will NOT be recommending to anyone and certainly won't be using them again! If could give 0 star I would. Very unprofessional.

Wow, to be honest I was abit sceptical of hiring a 'partybus' fora lads night to leeds from hull... Found this company on google, avoided brokers and wanted to deal direct.Upon ringing to enquire I was greeted by the owner, polite, no hard sell and fast quoted me a price with availability for a 16 seater limo party bus.. On time, this blue limo bus turned up, mahoooosive loud air horns to tell is was here, music playing and the autodoors opened to greet us to what I can only describe as a night club on wheels, smoke, lasers and disco lights and a well presented driver who you cud tell loved the job and he was most helpful polite and up for a party haha..we was given a demonstration of tje on board karaoke, the huge collection of music videos and most important, the free bubbly, chilled and ready to pop..there was no toilet on this but hit we were able to stop at our own lesuire if reqested for ..wee breaks or cig break so wasnt an issue, the run to leeds ended to quick for my liking to ne honest, the fact we were able to bring our own beer onboard, the music and entire club feel made us just wanna stay on the bus..the bus was imaculate inside when we were collected, however 14 blokes and a few bubblys later we had left a mess but was gpin to clean it upabot on the return journey..after 5 hours in leeds we were met by the same bus, same driver and wow, a spotless bus again...out of all of us 11 of us prefered the partybus itself to the pubs and clubs in thecity centre, we had pre arranged 3 drops with the driver to het us all close or indeed home, deposit was returned by the driver at the end of the night....I was so impress3d with this iv booked again for out works doo and also iam booking his 32 seater limo coach for my wedding in february in scarborough so has really took the hastle out of transport... Two words.. ..loved it Thanks ypb

Yorkshirepartybus's Comment
Written on: 10/12/2015
Hi there. It's Yorkshire Party Bus here. Thank you for your review and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
We apologise massively about your experience on our 21 seater party bus. We have had thousands of very happy customers with 100% genuine reviews, so we apologise that your trip hasn't been a reflection of this.
The bus was early on picking you up and your driver was at the previously agreed pick up address which you gave to us before your event date. The driver made plenty of time to get there, even with time to have a 45 minute break at the agreed pick up location. There must have been some miscommunication between yourself and the driver on the day whilst he was waiting for you, and we apologise for any inconvenience this caused.
The 21 seater party bus can legally hold 21 passengers, plus the driver. Unfortunately we've never had any comments about the lack of room inside the 21 seater bus, and we apologise that you felt it was too small. We have a copy of all our coif certificates inside the bus to prove our legality on the bus capacity. We normally advise customers that if you do have a large group nearing the buses capacity, to consider opting for the bigger bus as this will give you more room to comfortably party on board, and comes with more bottles of bubbly. Generally speaking if any vehicle has reached its capacity, I would expect it to be slightly crowded and we apologise you experienced this.
We have a very wide range of songs and playlists that customers can go through themselves on board. You also have the option to play your own music using a USB, a CD/DVD, or by connecting your ipod or phone through an AUX cable or bluetooth, which is advertised. The TVs work with the buses own music and karaoke, as we have videos connected with our play lists. If you plug your phone in, then the screens are kept blank. The karaoke is available for all of our customers to use. We don't leave it set up on the bus fully and ready to use straight away as it will interfere with the general music play lists, but can be set up upon request to your driver.
Unfortunately ice isn't provided in our buckets as it will melt whilst passengers are on the bus which may cause accidents. The buckets are deigned to hold the bottles of bubbly and to keep them cool during your time on the bus.
We're based in the East Yorkshire area but can cover areas beyond. In this case, the job was in the Liverpool area, and it's rare that we get any jobs there that late in the night and booked in so close to the event date. Out of luck we had another job come in last minute after you had booked in.
As for the driver, there is absolutely no excuse and we greatly apologise again for his very unprofessional behaviour. Please be assured that we do not condone his behaviour, and that action has been made since this event. We constantly received outstanding feedback from customers about the great service our drivers provide, which is why this has come as such a shock to us.
I can't express how sorry we are for your experience with us, and hope that some of the issues raised have been resolved.
Kind regards,
Chelsea, Andy's PA
