Útil Rio de Janeiro São Sebastião recent customer reviews

We missed the bus by 2 minutes due to road closure from accident and called ahead of time. We were promised the bus would wait 5 minutes but didn't. Staff was not helpful, made us wait almost 15 hours at the bus station and take the next bus and pay an additional $50 (US). Ivan Pinto
