Our Friendly Service

Whilst the high quality of our drivers is a given, all passing the rigorous commercial operator license required, it is the flexible and friendly approach that makes us stand out. We only recruit drivers who meet our high standards of customer service and can deliver an amazing experience to all customers, all of the time. Our Google & Facebook reviews, along with personal feedback verbally, via email or even by handwritten cards are a fine reflection on how the entire team reflects our incredible service ethos. To be a driver at Candy™ Tours UK, you must be excellent behind the wheel but just as importantly always have a smile and go the extra mile for our incredible customers. Our ethos is for our guests to feel looked after, safe and to have fun!

CandyTours

Our Founder – Andy Martin

The company was founded by Andy Martin in 2016. Having grown up in the Surrey / Hampshire borders Andy has intimate knowledge of the areas’ historic sights, beautiful coast and stunning countryside. Having travelled to many other countries and with the benefit of the passing years, Andy realised what a diverse and interesting part of the world this is. Within an hour or so drive of Woking, Camberley, Petersfield, Alton, Farnham, Fleet, Basingstoke and neighbouring areas we have magnificent cathedral cities, fantastic shopping, wonderful countryside and coastal areas (two national parks), world-class museums and galleries, diverse towns and charming villages, historical sites and buildings galore, a fantastic maritime heritage, numerous world-renowned authors, all on our doorstep. The passion to share these incredible experiences with others inspired Andy to create Candy™ Tours UK, allowing him to take people to these places. Seeing the smiles, pleasure and enjoyment of his customers when viewing or having their photo taken with these beautiful backdrops is what inspires Andy to this day. With a growing fleet of vehicles and supported by a fantastic team, Candy ™ Tours UK has now expanded upon its success offering sightseeing tours, excursions throughout the UK and even holidays abroad. The ethos of the company has not changed however and Andy is as passionate today as he was when he founded Candy™ Tours about delivering an unbeatable and memorable experience for every one of his customers.

Due to a mix up on my part, I needed to find transport to collect about 16 people from and then back to Haslemere Station at short notice. Andy really worked so hard to organise it for me and fitted in with our requirements. He was extremely helpful and positive throughout. Thank you also to Gman the driver who obviously had his Sunday evening spoilt but was an absolute delight to deal with and to talk to whilst we were both waiting at the station for the delayed train to arrive. Andy made the whole booking very easy and ran like clockwork. Thank you again.

Excellent service taking the ladies from Lovedean WI to the Palace of Westminster. Lovely comfortable journey that ran exactly to time. Big thanks to Thaman, our great driver, negotiating the Friday rush hour traffic so well. Thank you, we will definitely recommend.

Full marks to Candy Tours for the transport provided last Sunday to take me and my guests to a special birthday lunch. Attached is a picture of a happy load of passengers. Many of my guests commented on how comfortable the coach was and clean. But special mention to Gman, our driver who arrived very promptly, patient (while rounding 16 people up to and from) friendly and very smooth driving. It was a great day on Sunday everything worked out perfectly, not least our coach which was an important part of a very successful lunch. So thank you again. Andy and your team, from one very satisfied customer!

Fantastic service - took a group of us to Brighton and back for a 90s festival last summer and we’re going to a gig with them this sat.

We used Candy Tours Private Hire to transport party guests between venues. Andy was helpful and patient with our various route changes and went the extra mile when one of our guests left their bag on the bus and very kindly posted it for us. I researched numerous minibus providers but liked the Candy Tours personal service and very competitive rates.

Dear Andy We had a lovely day out at Singleton, and Ian couldn’t have been more helpful in taking us right to the entrance and picking us up from there. It was great to be taken “the country route”, which was new to many of us, and we had excellent views. It’s such a treat to be driven in comfort than to drive oneself. I’m so pleased that we managed to do a trip after so much stopping and starting. Thank you for your patience. You provide an excellent service and we’ll certainly book with you again (if we can manage to get enough members to make another trip viable next year!). On behalf of Basingstoke Art Club
