It was a very smooth trip. Announcements were made for stops. There was a mechanical problem that delayed us but for me, it was a non-issue because I wasn't heading to the airport.
Great Comfortable Bus with Wifi and Washrooms... Great reclining seats and Bus driver was friendly and organized... All good! I'll take Alsa again for sure!
I was so confused. I had a ticket for bus 602 but only had a bus 601 option. It wasn't direct to the Porto airport, as promised, but instead had several stops. No bathroom stops we scheduled but we made one for ourselves. At least we got to the airport at the promised time.
I would have liked a bigger sign on the bus and some indication it was going to Porto. The check-in could have started a little earlier as well. I was also panicked because I arrived only 15 mins before the bus departed but check-in hadn’t even started yet -the ticket said arrive 30-40 mins early, an unnecessary instruction.
There was poor guidance at the bus stop. Buses should be labeled accordingly to limit confusion. The bus driver needs an additional person to check bus tickets.
The driver was excellent when dealing with travellers. Many foreigners.
He was very patient..
Considering the rain, he was also very good at handling the bus . Excellent driver!
Left phone on bus which contains phone, ID, money and credit cards, and leaving country tomorrow. Hotel staff unable to reach anyone on phone. Went to bus station. Twice to see if bus returned #612 - but it did not. Need help ASAP. Why doesn't anyone at Alsa customer service answer the phone???
Convenient and comfortable service. The bus driver could have been more helpful by explaining which side to place our luggage depending on the destination. He seemed a bit put out when we asked him to open the luggage compartment on the side where our luggage was when we reached Porto - said we should have known which side to place our luggage. Also when I booked it was noted that there was a washroom on the bus but there was not.
1. I think it is good to mention arrival times in local time.
2. When there is a stop on a parking for a short break, indicatie how long the break will be
3. When there is a very strange sound of escaping air or something, inform passengers that it is okay and not to worry about.
4. Split luggage for stop at AirPort or casa de musica, now it was all together.
It was a very comfortable drive. We even arrived earlier in Porto! The driver drived carefully.
A point that could be better: it was not clear were the bus was at the bus station. It should be good to have signs in the bus station. We almost missed the bus.
The bus driver was not very helpful and seemed to be in a bad mood. When we arrived in Porto several passengers asked (in Spanish) about the difference between the two stops and he did not explain. \u000AWe sat in the front two seats. The bus driver smoked at every stop and did not blow out his last breath of smoke until he was in the driver's seat again which was not pleasant for us. The driver also read his phone and the printed passenger list while driving on the motorway.\u000A
We had seat numbers assigned but we're unable to find them on the bus.
We all pretty much sat anywhere.
Bus driver was nice and helpful.
I think we left a little late because he was waiting for passengers. Still arrived at airport on time.
Will recommend and use this service myself again.
Thanks

Good bus. The Driver not frienly. Started to shout no eating or drinking in bus.
Argument stared on when and how to use the bathroom with the driver
No rules where disclose prior to entering the bus
I wish I was not told by a member of staff that the.local time.of arrival is the Portugese time. Also the bus arrived way too early - according to the schedule it should have passed through some.towns. I could have caught the bus at 5:30pm and enjoy more time.in Santiago. The travellong time was 2:50h and not 3:50. It would have been ideal for me.to link my flight with the later bus if i had known about all this. Now I have been waiting at the airport for 7 hours rather than enjoying Santiago more.
Overall an excellent service reason bus was late in departing was more down to passengers not getting to bus in good time and not knowing which bus to board. Not the driver at fault.
No complaints about the driver or bus. However, the bus was not clearly marked with a number or destination causing confusion for one-time visitors who do not know how the bus system works.
Great service - easy to book online, bus arrived and left on time and the driver got all passengers on board and luggage loaded with minimum fuss. Comfortable, safe, fast journey.
Very satisfied, the driver was very careful and professional. We had 2 trips with the same driver Compostela to Porto on 16 th of May and going back to Santiago on 17th and we were more than pleased. Totally recommended.
