ALSA Santander San Sebastian recent customer reviews
It was a great trip, leaving on time and arriving on time. However, we didn’t know that we had numbered seats as the numbers were not on our tickets (we booked on line). This caused some confusion about where we were supposed to sit.
Geoffrey W.
I was in time, first on, seated. Moved. My ticket, purchased months ago, had any seat. Everybody boarding with a recently purchased ticket had a seat allocation. I was moved 3 times before departure. Stopping points were stressful, I was ready to argue. NOT the best journey ever.
Mike J.
Service excellent!only thing was very difficult to see the numbers on the seats? Which causes hold up unfortunately
