    Highly recommend!

    We had the pleasure of working with Dorrie to coordinate transportation for our wedding guests from Hilton Philadelphia at Penn's Landing to Pen Ryn Estate. Dorrie was extremely professional, prompt, and helpfully explained all possibly options - of which David Trailways has many with competitive prices. Everything went extremely smoothly and our guests were very happy with the transportation offered! Highly recommend!

    Wedding Transportation

    Transportation was an item we were sweating for our special day just because of prior experiences at other weddings (late arrivals, no-shows, wrong directions, etc.). David Thomas Trailways understood this from our earliest conversations and were extremely accommodating to ensure we didn't have to worry about transportation on the day-of. It also helped that we were able to save quite a bit of money compared to the other transportation services in the area. Dorrie was a true pleasure to work with and guided us through number of buses, pick-up times, and routes to ensure that our guests would arrive at the wedding on-time. This was no small feat, as our hotel, ceremony, and reception were at three different locations within Philadelphia, all requiring bus transfer, with 225 attendees. All of the plans went off without a hitch, and our guests were extremely happy with the provided transportation; the bus drivers were extremely courteous to all of our guests. We couldn't be happier that travel was taken care of and not any issue whatsoever for our wedding day!

    Smooth helpful shuttle experience

    David Thomas Tours provided two air-conditioned school buses for our wedding and it worked out great. Debbie helped us coordinate everything and we were grateful for her Philadelphia experience. Everything went smoothly at our wedding and all our guests traveled safely and comfortably.

    Definitely hire!

    I worked with Debbie to book 2 air conditioned school buses for our wedding. Debbie was fantastic and prompt with communicating with us. We had no issues on the day of our wedding and everything ran so smoothly. I would definitely recommend booking with David Thomas Trailways!

    David Thomas Trailways provided transportation for my wedding guests from the hotel to the wedding venue and back again at the end of the night. Debbie was great to coordinate everything with, and our driver Robert was super personable as well. Most importantly, they were on time.

    We loved working with David Thomas Trailways!

    10/10 stars!!!! David Thomas Trailways did a fantastic job on the day of our wedding. Before the big day, Debbie Kennedy was wonderful in coordinating all of the fine details. She was extremely responsive via phone call and email and answered all of our questions regarding the itinerary, contractual obligations, and last-minute changes on the day-of. She was easy to work with and very accommodating. On the actual day of our wedding, they were timely and professional. Often times, transportation can be a huge source of stress but with David Thomas Trailways and their proven timeliness and competence, it was nothing short of perfect. At the end of the night, they were able to adjust the timing of the itinerary to make everything work so that are guests could get back safely to the hotel in Center City. I would enthusiastically recommend David Thomas Trailways for your wedding. Book them now!

    Punctual, clean, attentive

    Huge thank you to Debbie Kennedy and our drivers at David Thomas Trailways. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID and Debbie helped us with that each time. She was always very responsive to all of my questions and made booking super easy. We ended up booking 3 school buses to shuttle about 150 guests from our hotel to our venue and back. All 3 buses arrived on time and were very patient with our guests who indulged maybe a bit too much! The prices are very reasonable and they have a lot of shuttle options to choose from. I will never plan a wedding everrr again (especially during a pandemic) but I highly recommend anyone who is to use David Thomas Trailways. This was one of the harder things to choose and they did not disappoint!

    David Thomas Trailways's reply:

    Thank you soo Joy! We are happy everything worked out as planned. If you ever need any transportation services again, we are here to help! Thanks again and congratulations! :-)

    My wife and I got married a little over a month ago and used David Thomas Transportation as our shuttle bus at the end of our wedding reception. Jamie helped us out over there, and from the very beginning, everything was so well organized and just perfect. The bus we had was brand new, had amazing AC, which was so helpful in the humid night air! Our driver was a very nice gentleman, greeting everyone who came on and left the bus, and helping out anyone who needed assistance. Everything was on schedule, no delays and no issues. Thank you Jamie for setting everything up so effortlessly, and perfectly, and thanks to everyone and David Thomas Transportation for everything!

    When searching for guest transportation at my daughters wedding, we were excited to select David Thomas Tours. They provided transportation for the wedding party to the rehearsal dinner and for our out of town guests to the wedding ceremony. The drivers were friendly, safe, and professional in every way! The guests enjoyed a comfortable and spacious ride at the end of the celebration. Thank You David Thomas Tours!

    Our driver, Ronnie, was extremely professional and punctual. The bus was clean and the guests had a great time riding on it. At one point, we needed to make a slight change to the itinerary and Ronnie was able to accommodate easily. If I need to rent a bus again in the future, I will absolutely use David Thomas.

    David Thomas provided a bus for our guests from the hotel to the venue. They were very reasonably priced, organized and a pleasure to work with. We ended up having more guests than we thought take the bus and the bus driver ended up doing two trips without any complaints. He was a pleasure to work with!

    Great service from David Thomas

    David Thomas Transportation was fantastic for our wedding. We used a smaller 26-passenger mini coach for our wedding party and two air conditioned school buses for our guests to/from the hotels. Debbie was very helpful leading up to the wedding and provided great advice and considerations for our day-of transportation and timeline. Our drivers were all very professional and the buses stuck exactly to our pre-planned itinerary. Although the quote from David Thomas was a bit higher than other bus companies, I appreciated that Debbie provided personalized service and I had a direct contact at the company, which made the slightly higher cost worthwhile. In addition, it was nice that driver gratuity was included in the invoice price, as it was one less thing to worry about on our wedding day! I would definitely recommend David Thomas Transportation to other couples!

    We hired David Thomas Transportation to transport our ~65 guests from the hotel to our wedding venue and back and it all worked out very well. We knew we wanted school buses to save some money, and David Thomas Transportation was one of the more affordable companies that still had good reviews. We chose to rent two school buses for the day (we upgraded to the air conditioned buses and were very glad we did - it was a hot day)! The school buses were very clean and nice inside - much better than we expected.

    The drivers were incredibly personable and friendly to us and all of our guests and made sure not to leave anyone behind. There were a couple of hiccups in the schedule during the night which I am a little confused about (our early shuttle back to the hotel left the venue at 9 instead of 9:15, and both of our final shuttles left at 10:30 when one was supposed to leave at 10:45), which caused a bit of a rush at the end of the night to get everybody onto that last shuttle when we thought there were another 15 minutes. Things still worked out fine however and again, the drivers made sure that they didn't leave until we got everybody on the bus. David Thomas Transportation is a great company to use for transportation!

    We used David Thomas for our shuttles for our wedding and they were great! We rented two large air conditioned school buses for our wedding day -- one to shuttle around the bridal party to the ceremony and reception venues and around Philadelphia to take pictures, and the other to shuttle guests between the hotel, ceremony, and reception venues. Jamie was very helpful and responsive throughout the wedding planning process, which I greatly appreciated! The day of our wedding we had a couple minor communication hiccups, but they were very minor and resolved without issue. Despite sending very detailed instructions/schedules for both buses several weeks in advance of the wedding, the bus driver for the bridal party bus seemed very confused about where she was supposed to be and go at any given time. Luckily, she was very friendly and kind, so we were able to explain to her what the game plan was. However, it seemed like it was the first time she was hearing about the schedule, which was a little bit odd. That being said, we would definitely recommend David Thomas for wedding transportation! The buses were well air conditioned and clean and the staff are all professional and friendly, and their prices are very reasonable! Thank you so much for your help!

    The bus was great and so was driver. They did two trips from the hotel to the reception location, and same at the end of the night. They showed up and dropped guests off on time and were easy to work with.

    We used David Thomas Transportation (DTT) to shuttle our guests from the wedding venue to the reception and back. Debbie was our sales representative, and she was charming. However, we did have multiple miscommunications about the fact that we needed a shuttle service (multiple trips), rather than just one trip each way. I thought we’d finally resolved the issue, only to find on the wedding night that the bus driver hadn’t been informed. He was so accommodating and just adjusted his plans to what we needed. The bus was very clean, and DTT’s rates were the best I found. So I would recommend this company with the caveat that you should be sure that you have every small detail in writing on the contract.

    I am very disappointed with my experience with David Thomas Transportation. I had rented a school bus to drive my wedding guests to and from the venue from the hotel. Issues were as follows: Bus driver did not leave on time for the first trip from the hotel and then he got lost on the drive to the venue causing our guests to be late. We ended up having to delay the start of our wedding by almost a half hour to wait for the bus and about half of our guests to arrive. This also caused us to miss half of our happy hour since the wedding started when the happy hour was supposed to begin.
    This was a little frustrating but not as bad as the second part.

    The following day I e mailed my contact at the company telling them what happened and to see if they can look into this and get back to me on why, as it caused us some issues the day of the wedding (having to wait to start and then losing time at the happy hour) When I returned from my honeymoon I was quite disturbed when I had not received an e mail back so I followed up again. Again no reply for another week (we are now at +15 days from my first email the day after the event) Finally I heard from the Director of Operations saying that my contact has been OOO (for 15 days must be nice) and they will Personally look into this for me. I have yet to hear anything back from ANYONE including the Director of Ops. This is very disappointing as I am at +35 days and 3 follow ups from my initial e mail and have yet to have any meaning full follow-up!

    Again disappointed with day of driver actions causing a half hour delay and missing half of cocktail hour and VERY disappointed with the administration end on their customer service post getting your money.

    I would NOT suggest using them! Especially if you just need them for a single trip as they are after your money and do not care about quality of service or customer satisfaction.
