Despite these issues, passengers have generally arrived safely and even experienced shorter travel times due to the fast driving.
I that's off to the driver, this was a very windy road, lots of traffic and road work at night. He was a very safe driver. Very conformable ride
Wir sind schon mehrmals tagsüber mit Cruz del Sur gefahren. Dieses Mal haben wir den Nachtbus getestet. Er war sehr bequem und wir haben sogar Essen und Trinken bekommen, was wirklich toll war. Allerdings ist der Busfahrer sehr gefährlich gefahren mit rasanten Überholmanövern in engen Kurven ohne Sicht bei engen Straßenverhältnissen und unzähligen Malen engen Auffahrens auf andere Fahrzeuge auf teilweise weniger als einen Meter. Ich hatte wirklich Todesangst. Es war wie im fahrenden Ritter bei Harry Potter. Zum Glück sind wir aber heil angekommen, wobei es durch die Fahrweise am Ende 1 Stunde Fahrzeit weniger war.
My previous experiences of Cruz del Sur were actually very good. However, on this particular trip from Nazcar to Arequipa the bus was CANCELLED (not late as actually stated previously in the survey). I understand that these things happen but we did not no about the cancellation until we arrived at the bus station. We were given no notification of the cancellation earlier than this which is incredibly disappointing and very frustrating. We then had to find and pay for one more nights accommodation and lost a day of our holiday until we could find an alternative bus to get to Arequipa. This could've been avoided if I had received an email or phone call earlier in the day to say the bus was cancelled!
According to multiple reviews, the bus company has received positive feedback with no complaints. However, some customers recommend choosing a different company for longer rides due to potential issues. These include late arrivals and discomfort caused by toilets and loud movies playing until late at night.
Really bad smell because of the toilets, people not on their designated seats and they were playing movies untill 00:30AM really loud over the bus speakers, even noise cancel earplugs did not work.. and the bus was 1:20h late
My seat was occupied and I had to change it. The bus was 3h late. The seat was blocked and I couldn't regolate it
just pay more and go with a better company, wouldnt recommend civa for any rides longer than a couple hours

The bus met our purpose for travel. Bus was 1hour late in Nasca which made us late to Arequipa.
We still havent arrived to Arequipa, the ride was bumpy and we moved from tour seats by people who were meant to be on an earlier bus. We are stuck outside arequipa with no way into the city as taxis are refusing to take people. To get to the city we had to cross a dangerous area to finally catch a little bus and pay even more money to arrive to the city. Not at all happy with the service - should've at least tried to offer an alternative route as there were a lot of people with children left in a dangerous situation.
The bus had 1 hour delay but somehow arrived sooner, which was nice :). Staff was bit unpleasant.
According to 19 reviews, Oltursa received a 3-star rating for this journey. Travelers were especially satisfied with the staff and the temperature, but some complained about the wifi. Oltursa ticket prices on this trip start at $25.00
The bus was 3.5 hours late
Bus had strong smell of mildew
Clean, comfortable large seats. Friendly service. My only concern is that the driver was driving really fast, I was pretty worried for a wee while going through the mountains. We got to our stop safely at the end.
