The bus did not serve the intended route, so we were forced to take a journey that takes us 7 hours longer than our planned bus ride & we had to change busses in El Calafate. Also, our bookings were not on the official list of passengers that the bus company had

No running water on the bus. For 25 hour journey that is shocking. No charging sockets, no food/drink as advertised. The journey cost £215 so to say I am disappointed is an understatement.

A normal trip, nothing more. The food can be better with the price we pay for that.
