The air was horrible. Almost too hot to breathe. Horrible people without respect!

Leaving was smooth and well organised. The seats upstairs had a curtain which allowed for privacy when sleeping. The one thing that was disturbing were the violent screaming and shouting films that seemed continual until time to sleep. I was grateful of the curtain that blocked my view.

This trip was awful! Firstly they changed the bus to 5 hours later on the day and then finally on the bus we arrived three hours late. 25 minutes from the station we stopped for snacks. Ridiculous if it wasn’t the only way to get to ica I’d never do it again!

Driver was crazy, went round blind bends on the wrong side, thought I was gonna die. I would have also rather stopped for food than arrived at 5am when it was supposed to arrive at 6am as well. Not much sleep because of the crazy driving 🤦‍♂️

Excluciva Cusco Ica recent customer reviews

Our bus was cancelled and no one contacted us to let us know. They got us on a bus two hours later which was nice… but in really uncomfortable economy seats when we had originally booked the exclusive seats. This was not ideal for an overnight 18 hour bus ride we were expecting to be comfortable on. I would not recommend using civa. We were super de”civa”ed and not impressed

Overall great value. The volume for announcements and entertainment absolutely unbearable without earplugs (even so still audible).
