Didn't mind being late. Free water and croissant great and stopped for break. Very nice.
The lady hostess should be more smily and friendly.The VIVACOM wifi was not in function during the whole trip. We informed the hostess but she did not do anything to resolve the problem.Drivers should be more gentle when changing gear(too bad for gearbox) and change lanes in a more gentle way.
Well, the people wee very nice: they served free crosscurrents and water but toilet on the bus was closed - although, there were rest stops on the way

Good 😊
Bus was late by almost an hour and a half. Also no place to charge your phone on the bus.
Everything was great, except I got really scared when the van broke and the driver had to drive like 5km/h. He managed to fix it within a few minutes and then a half an hour later when the driver started driving 130km/h or even faster to get us on the destination on time I thought I will pass out out of fear. The van was comfortable, the driver is extremely friendly and I liked him very much.
Customers have expressed both positive and negative experiences with the service. Some customers were impressed by skilled drivers, clean buses, and friendly staff. However, others were disappointed that no one spoke English. Despite these mixed reviews, many customers would still consider using the service again.
Good price, clear location to find the bus. However, one guy at the check-in office kept telling me to wait for checking in while there was already a lady ready to help me check in
Helpful kind customer service
Would definitely use them again. Our driver was extremely skilled at driving though very very closely parked traffic
