Viação 1001 Rio de Janeiro Arraial do Cabo recent customer reviews
A 3 hr service that takes 5 hrs stopping at every little town on the way. A normal service shows one stop and goes to that one stop, this one let's people on and off like a public bus.

The trip was smooth, departed on time and arrived on schedule. The bus itself was also very comfortable.
Clive F.
The bus was 30min late and dirty. Bathroom was filthy but the employees were friendly.
