Útil São Sebastião Rio de Janeiro recent customer reviews
Easy ride. Was a bit disappointed there were no chargers on the bus or wifi. My phone battery was really low and I had no backup. So come fully charged for an overnight ride! Otherwise it was a decent experience
Robin F.
Bus was great and stuff was very friendly and helpful. The only thing is that the voucher needed to be redeemed for a ticket, which added an additional step.
