Cruz del Sur Cusco Arequipa recent customer reviews
As usual, very efficient and professional. Very clean throughout the bus. Very comfortable 160 degree reclining seats. Everything worked.
Easy check in and boarding. We took a night bus and the seats were spacious and reclined to make a decent bed. The seat behind would not have much room if they did not recline.
Flawless journey, comfort completely exceeded my expectations! Very secure and clear process from booking to boarding. Would definitely recommend!

Haven't used other bus companies in Peru so can't compare, but very disappointed with Exclusiva. The staff in Cusco station were very rude, the bus had no wifi, it was ridiculously cold the whole 10 hours, and the stale bread and crackers they served as a meal don't even deserve to be described as 'food'. I visit 10-15 countries a year and it's literally the worst 'food' offering i've ever received on transport. Nothing impressive about this company.
Great experience, very comfortable seats and so lovely to get free pillows and blankets! The heating needs fixing though, the bus felt like a sauna at times.
The bus was stuck and the Company brought new bus after a long time with no food or water!

Oltursa Cusco Arequipa recent customer reviews
They said there was wifi and there was not
Chairs were good, staff was kind, food was not so good
It was pretty cold down the back of the bus compared to the front (on the 1st floor). Although it was great to be able to put the seats back, the one in front of me went back so far I couldn't move my legs much at all. The girl I'm front of my partner on numerous occasions kept ramming her chair back and hitting his knees.
