Kildare Village Shopping Trip From Belfast

McComb's provided a very comfortable luxury coach with an excellent driver, Paul who was punctual, friendly, and very accommodating with unscheduled drop offs on the way home which meant that there was no need to struggle with all the shopping on public transport from Glengall Street. Paul was also very helpful with information about Kildare village and the shopping village itself. would strongly recommend using this company for any event if this experience is what can be expected. 5 stars!

We had an amazing day really great place to go and very comfortable travel , the shops are great , staff were amazing very helpful definitely looking forward to another trip soon .

The whole experience was so easy from making phone enquiries to booking on line it was easy and very good value for money. Paul our driver was excellent. His experience as a driver showed. The length of time at kildare was probably a bit long for me as I wasn't particularly interested in the shopping village but overall great day out and would definitely recommend it.

Great trip, would highly recommend. Paul was a great driver and host. Will be doing the trip sometime in the future again.

The bus was very comfortable, the driver was very friendly and informative driver and was open to any requests or questions, the timekeeping was spot on and we felt very safe at all times.

This is the second time we’ve used McCombs and we had another great experience with them. Our driver Paul was very friendly and attentive. The whole trip ran smoothly and we really enjoyed our shopping day. Would recommend McCombs to anyone!

We traveled to Kildare village with McComb coaches. Our driver was Paul. He was fantastic, considerate, funny and so very helpful. We had a great day and it was very reasonably priced. Paul was a atar

What an appalling experience with this 'less-than-understanding' company! Was part of a group scheduled to travel on 07/12/2024 on one of the McCombs Kildare Shopping Village trips - yes, that's right, during 'Storm Darragh.' Set off by train from Coleraine Train Station at 06.30am to make the pick up by the McCombs bus, at Europa Hotel Belfast at 8.20pm. Of course there was the storm, and between Ballymoney and Ballymena, the storm had 'felled' trees (an act of God - clearly 'out-of-the-hands-of-man') which blocked the railway line/train meaning a return to Coleraine was the only option. McCombs travel were contacted by telephone and e-mail to ensure that the driver didn't wait unnecessarily for my party, who because of the travel chaos, were not going to be able to make the scheduled pick-up - that was demonstrably, both a courteous and thoughtful action on behalf of my group - would that such courtesy might be reciprocated by McCombs, ......not a chance! My group sought on Monday 09/12/2024, to request that McCombs might provide a credit, either full or partial, for use on one of their tours next Christmas 2025, not what one would expect was an unreasonable request given the particular and unexpected circumstances, and the weather on the day of the trip - of course the groups expectation would be that McCombs might just have applied some 'common-sense' -- not a chance, their response was ...'It is not possible to credit these tickets - As we were not informed they would not be travelling, we were unable to resell their seats. If they wish to travel, it will require new tickets. Currently, there are no scheduled dates for Kildare in 2025. It usual runs from March, on the last Saturday of the month. Once we are closer to Christmas again, it is will run more frequently. The last date of this year is this Saturday 14th December - which has limited availability, if they wish to rebook.' -- now quite how my party could have done anything more than what they did to notify McCombs of their non-travel and the circumstances prevailing at that time, I don't know, but what should be pointed out is that at no point on the McCombs website page relevant to the Kildare Shopping Village trip - https://www.mccombscoaches.com//tours/kildare-village-shopping-tour - is there any disclaimer regarding non-refundable/non-changeable conditions, so either a full/partial or a transferrable credit note arrangement, would be been an expectation, and was not in our view an unreasonable request! Our advice on this Company -- FIND A DIFFERENT PROVIDER, THERE IS LITTLE IF ANY CUSTOMER CARE PROVIDED BY McCOMBS, AND EVEN LESS COMMON BUSINESS SENSE! :-)

The trip was so relaxed from start to finish and took the stress out of driving / parking etc. Patrick our driver was really friendly and professional and gave us clear instructions about drop off / pick ups / stops etc. We had a great days shopping and would definitely recommend it to anyone

Excellent service in a luxurious new Coach traveling to Kildare Village. Driver was a gentleman. loved the ambience on coach listening to Christmas tunes and the blue lighting.

We had the world’s best bus driver PAUL. What a lovely kind and cheerful man. A joy to be on a long journey with I wasn’t really that taken with the Kildare village it was just ok. I wouldn’t go again. Def would use mc combs agsin. Beautiful clean buses

It was great from start to finish. I was a bit worried about the pick up because of the road works but their communication was very good - got call the day before to say meet at Europa and a McComb's rep would be there to direct me where to get the bus. Worked out smoothly. The coach was comfy and was happy to be able to charge my phone all the way down and back. Straight down from 0820 and arrived around 11am. Got the discount card, which was great. Kildare Village was busy-ish but got very busy around 2pm. Got back on the bus at 5pm and in Belfast around 7.45pm. Great trip altogether! Highly recommend!

Another great trip to Kildare village today Relaxed travel down and Paul our driver was a first class host very accommodating for comfort stops and storing purchases Making this an annual event.

We had a great trip! It was really well organised, the seats were comfy and Paul was so friendly and funny. The perfect day trip from Belfast. Thank you!

We go to Kildare at this time every year and it really starts off your Christmas! It is absolutely beautiful and the Christmas lights are up from the beginning of November. There are lots of bargains to be had but just check online as we noticed that a coat we were going to purchase at 130 euros was only £99 in Next! Really lovely experience and atmosphere and great places to eat - A must visit!

We travelled to Kildare Village with McCombs Coaches. This company is excellent, offering good value, great timings, convenient pick up times and total comfort in luxury coaches. The range of outlets is fabulous! Prices are very keen and we also benefited from additional Black Friday savings. I would highly recommend this trip and it’s great for Christmas shopping!

Great variety of outlets not seen on the regular High Street. Lovely staff all round. Not cheap but with discount vouchers affordable as a treat. Well worth the experience

Fantastic experience and great value at only £25! From our lovely friendly driver, to the comfortable and safe bus journey, to the 20% VIP discount, to a timely departure – everything about this trip was just great. We can’t wait to re-book. Thankyou McCombs!

Brilliant day out. Driver Alan was very friendly and helpful. Cheer us up all the way down. Only problem was the toilet on coach not working. Although stop at applegreen.Weather not so good love to see this is summer time.Got a few barginsWould travel with McCombs again. Great tour xx
