A name to trust in travel since 1889

We are one of the largest coach travel and holiday firms in the South West. Still a family business, many of our staff and drivers have been with Bakers Dolphin for years. We treat our staff like part of the family and we treat our customers the same way – that’s probably why they come back year after year.

Our striking, modern coaches travel millions of miles every year carrying our holiday makers or private hire clients in comfort and safety. Conforming to modern day rules and regulations involves complex logistics and experienced staff, but we achieve this with a smile on our faces.

Our knowledgeable reservations team can help you choose and plan your perfect trip by coach. Embark on an escorted Grand Tour of Ireland or Scotland, journey to the Italian Lakes and continental Europe, plus plenty of interesting itineraries to choose with destinations throughout England and Wales. Anything is possible, so book online, call or visit our shops in Weston super Mare or Bristol.

We are constantly investing in our fleet to ensure the best vehicles possible for your holiday or day out. All coaches are maintained to the highest standards in our workshops. Bakers Dolphin are members of the Confederation of Passenger Transport.

We also have a large fleet of coaches for private events and corporate hospitality, visit our Coach Hire section to find out more.

Our history

Excursions included

Our coach holidays have a range of excursions included in the price. It means those visits to visit places of interest, country houses, museums and attractions are all paid for before you set off, so unlike some other coach operators there are no surprise extras.

When you book your chosen holiday, we clearly set out the excursions on each day of your holiday to include travel and entrance fees and where meals are included.

Our drivers

Our reputation for knowledgeable, friendly, highly skilled drivers is something we are very proud of at Bakers Dolphin. Our uniformed drivers are the people our customers meet face to face, on our coaches and are therefore the ‘face’ of our business.

All of Bakers Dolphin drivers are of the highest professional standard holding the appropriate licences, which are formally validated on a regular basis with the Driver Vehicle Licencing Authority.

We are so very proud of our “family of drivers”!

Our history

The ‘Baker Story’ began in 1889, when Charles Theodore Baker, aged 21, borrowed £25 from his elder brother and set up business in Weston-super-Mare with a pony chair for hire.

The business prospered and he was soon able to buy additional horses and cabs, stabling them behind a house at 38 Locking Road – still the firm’s headquarters today.

The early 1900s were busy years with the company providing coachmen, horses and Broughams to all the residents of Weston. He won the Royal Mail contract to deliver the post by horse-and-cab twice daily from Weston to the Cheddar Valley.
