Mini Adventure Driving School

Fantastic experience: Passed today with 1 minor after 2 months learning with Rich - great experience overall and would recommend

Fantastic experience: Passed first time! Thank you Rich for all your help, you really put me at ease as I was quite a nervous driver before having lessons with you. Really enjoyed the lessons and you certainly know your stuff. Anyone looking for an instructor, look no further.

Fantastic experience: Rich is the best driving instructor you could have!! Full of patience, skill and can have a laugh along the way. My test was a challenge but he was happy to put the time and hours in, always answering silly questions and texts whenever I needed help. Would never have passed without him, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have only good things to say about Rich and learning to drive with him. Firstly, he is an excellent instructor, packs a lot of learning into lessons, which meant I saw improvements week on week. Throughout he gave good constructive feedback and knows all the roads in the area so well, with lots of tips on navigating trickier parts. Secondly (and just as important IMO), Rich is a great down to earth guy, who made learning to drive actually quite fun and not a chore at all. Really easy to get along with and have a chat. Also was easy to keep in contact to arrange lessons etc. Cheers Rich!!!

Fantastic experience: After using a couple of instructors who were not very good , I started my lessons with rich, at 45 and a more mature student I was nervous but his sense of humour and excellent teaching I passed and looked forward to my lessons every week , best instructor in Bristol

Fantastic experience: After learning with my first instructor for a year and not getting anywhere I contacted Rich and even from the first lesson with him I immediately felt comfortable and at ease. He’s got a great sense of humour and makes you look forward to your lessons. Within a short time of driving with him I felt ready for my driving test and passed with only 1 minor all thanks to Rich. He is the best driving instructor to choose!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Mini Adventure Driving School. My son passed his driving test first time (no faults!) and it's all down to Rich's friendly and approachable manner. He is enthusiastic and has a great sense of humour, which instantly puts you at ease. In my opinion, he is the only driving instructor to choose.

Fantastic experience: I’d absolutely recommend. Rich is a great guy and a even better instructor. I felt confident and he makes you look forward to every lesson. Passed first time thanks to the great preparation Rich gave me. DON’T CHOOSE TO LEARN WITH ANYONE ELSE !!!!

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Rich for helping me pass my test first time with just 1 minor. Rich’s approach is brilliant makes you feel relaxed and makes lessons fun.

Fantastic experience: Best instructor! Highly recommend Rich, passed first time with him despite my anxiety. Experienced driving instructor that you can have a laugh with but still gives you great feedback. All the best in the future Rich.

Fantastic experience: Rich taught me to drive in 2008 and then my boyfriend in 2021. My boyfriend did have lessons before but lost his confidence with the process. I immediately recommended Rich as it was like learning to drive with a mate. My bf and I have VERY different learning and driving styles but we both passed first time☺️. It was really relaxed and a bit of a laugh for both of us & would recommend again

Fantastic experience: Rich is a top instructor who has a lot of experience. When I first started learning I was super nervous however from the very first lesson he made me feel really relaxed. Every lesson you learn something new. Rich is very down to earth and does not add any extra pressure or stress. Would highly recommend rich to anyone who is looking to learn to drive. I cannot fault the service 10/10!!!

Fantastic experience: Rich is a very good driving instructor keeping you relaxed whilst also teaching you key skills about driving and his pass rate speaks for itself. He is very easy going and makes you look forward to each lesson. I would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Honestly couldn’t of asked for a better driving instructor. Rich made me feel so relaxed and I couldn’t wait for every lesson. Passed first time and don’t think I could of done it with any other instructor. I would 1000000% recommend Rich to anyone who just wants to learn to drive and have fun while doing it. I will really miss having my lessons and only have Rich to thank for everything.

Fantastic experience: Hes an absolute legend, great instructure fully recommend him to anyone. you cant go wrong with MADS!!

Fantastic experience: Both my kids Hannah and Ben loved Richard . He made them feel completely relaxed and both felt they were driving with a mate. Both past 1st time, My son hit the record, he past within 5 weeks. Id recommend Richard 200% . He just has that connection with the teenagers. We have recommended loads of friends and all passed 1st time, or currently learning and enjoying their journeys. I am so happy we found the right teacher. My kids are fab and safe drivers. Thank you so much Richard x

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Rich enough. He helped my sister and I pass first time with few minors and made lessons very chill, comfortable, and fun! Will definitely try to fit my brother in for his lessons in a couple years. Thank you Rich!

Fantastic experience: Great guy, great instructor, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving instructor, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Rich is the best driving instructor you could ever ask for! Passed 1st time with his help and he made every lesson enjoyable and positive!

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor, helped me past first time within 5 months. Got on really well straight away, not your stereotypical old bloke instructor.

Fantastic experience: Rich was an absolutely fantastic instructor for me and my twin brother. I started off too scared to even want to be behind the wheel, but I passed my theory and my practical first time with only 4 minors (I think?) Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for lessons. A right laugh too!

Fantastic experience: Rich is a great instructor. My son progressed really well with Mini Adventure driving school after leaving a previous instructor. I feel this progress was largely down to Rich. He really gets on with the lessons, no time wasting but is also thorough in his teaching style. It’s not just a ‘pass test’ exercise. It’s about being a safe driver on the road going forward. I recommend him to my all my friends who are looking for a driving instructor. My second son will go to him when he’s old enough, without hesitation. Can’t speak highly enough, especially compared to other instructors out there. I can see why Rich has a high pass rate. Well deserved.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Driving instructor, as well as a good laugh. Passed in 5 months with just 2 minors. Top Bloke.

Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor!! I was always a nervous first learner. I originally had 2 lessons with Robbie’s Driving School. They were awful. My instructor used to shout at me if I stalled, place his head into his hands... so I left them, and contacted Rich. I’d look forward to his lessons! I never felt worried or nervous about driving with Rich. Well planned lessons, they were a great laugh too - the lessons were like learning to drive with a good friend rather than a strict teacher! It was great to learn to drive in a MINI too. I passed first time in just 6 months! I’d highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Rich is an incredible instructor and so easy to get along with! Definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Rich is an amazing instructor, can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor. Passed first time, really easy to get on with and makes everything really clear. No problem asking questions, even if they seem stupid. Best driving instructor, would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Rich was a fantastic driving instructor. He was recommended to me by about 4 separate friends who had passed first time and raved about his excellent teaching. I started off quite a nervous driver and he made me feel relaxed and I enjoyed every lesson. Passed first time!

Fantastic experience: Rich taught me and my boyfriend and we both passed 1st time. He's an amazing instructor who makes learning to drive really fun!

Fantastic experience: Rich is an absolutely fantastic instructor. From my first lesson I felt comfortable in the car and makes the whole learning process a breeze. Me and a handful of friends have all passed first time with him. Would recommend him to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Rich is an amazing driving instructor! Not only is he a great teacher but also very easy to get along with. I was a fairly anxious driver before I started with Rich and he made me feel very confident behind the wheel and we had a great laugh on all our lessons! 100% recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Great down to earth guy who helped me pass my test first time. Would definitely recommend if you are looking to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: Absolute legend, I’ve been learning with rich for a while now and he’s always been very lenient towards my schedule and always lets me work around my life rather than his. Also learning with him is a pleasure, his teaching method is more friend like as opposed to being strict. I’d recommend him to anyone

Fantastic experience: Passed first time! And so did 6 of my friends Rich is great, relaxed and you have a good laugh! BIG PHILLY!!

Fantastic experience: Rich has helped me overcome my fear with driving something I never thought I would be able to do have tried with other driving instructors Before and never felt comfortable so gave up! Great person to make you feel relaxed and have a laugh with!

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable teacher, made driving lessons fun and enjoyable! Would definitely recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Quality guy right good laugh always good to get along with your instructor as it makes you less nervous !! But overall recommend him to everyone !! Top guy

Fantastic experience: Rich is the best instructor. When I first started mini adventures 3 and a half years ago, I was a nervous wreck and didn’t have any confidence in driving whatsoever but Rich was so helpful, patient and gave me loads of useful tips that I passed my driving test 1st time with only 4 minor faults. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him if anyone wants to learn to drive. I have loads of freedom now that I drive and I can’t thank Rich at mini adventures enough!

Fantastic experience: Such a great driving instructor!! Always a laugh and great pass rate! Would definitely recommend, now missing my driving lessons!

Fantastic experience: Great teacher! Rich is so funny to drive with and very patient (had to be with my driving ). Can't recommend him highly enough to anybody wanting to learn to drive!

Fantastic experience: Rich is an amazing driving instructor!!! He makes you feel so at ease and so comfortable when teaching you. Rich cool and down to earth. Plus his pass rate is really high. You will not get a better driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: Rich is a brilliant instructor. He is endlessly patient and very funny which made my lessons enjoyable as well as effective. I actually now miss my lessons. I passed first time and it’s all thanks to Rich. I highly recommend him to everyone seeking a driving instructor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Rich more highly for teaching our son to drive; he thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and passed first time thanks to Rich.

Fantastic experience: Rich is a top notch guy who makes every lesson a laugh creating a fun and engaging learning atmosphere, I passed first time with 2 minors with Rich! People are starting to realise that he should be your go to instructor so he tends to be extremely busy but worth the wait!

Negative experience: Not impressed, having read all of the wonderful reviews I contacted Rich via text as his website asks, he did not reply so I sent a further text, he did respond apologizing stating he had not seen the first text. He called me as promised on Saturday 7th April and advised he was very busy and could not accommodate my daughter until late May, he would set an alarm and call me nearer the time to arrange her lessons, which i agreed to, and he stated he would call me weekend of 12th May - no call !!. I have text twice and still no response. I am more annoyed that I wasted over a month waiting for this company because of their reviews - if you do not want someones business do not string them along.
