Shearings have cancelled 64,000 bookings as the Specialist Leisure Group has gone into administration. It owns Shearings and National Holidays.
One employee, Matthew Herbet, said: "Gutted that from today Shearings is no more. 13 years of my life ended a little sooner than I’d like. I’ve met so many people, made so many memories, it’ll take a while for this wound to heal. To my colleagues, good luck, stay safe, stay strong & don’t be a stranger..."
A loyal customer said: "I'm upset about the news. Never in all my years of using them have we ever had a bad experience.
"You get on the coach and you meet some very interesting people, and the service you get from the driver is first-class. It's like a big family."
Other coach companies chimed in too.
Skelton Coaches said: "Sad to see the news this evening that the Owners of Shearings Holidays, National Holidays and Caledonian Travel have entered administration.
"So many years of operating and so many people out of work when will the government help the coach tour industry before it's all gone."
