ALSA Paris Madrid recent customer reviews

The coach left Paris late because the driver was arguing with a passenger who had a ticket for herself but not for her baby. We nearly missed our train in Madrid because of this.

Overall, my experience with ALSA was fantastic. I just wished the internet connection was more stable as I couldn't connect anymore after about 30 minutes.
