Ratings and Reviews (71)
Bus was neat and clean, the staff on the front desk, not that friendly (perhaps due the language barrier)
Nice bus with beds, a little late because the driver took a long break at a rest area. But the service was good, and so were the beds.
Good bus, comfortable for a short time frame, good scenery. Staff were friendly.
Very nice . Even was a bit late it's not a problem. Great bus service
At the beginning, when they landed, they gave me a ticket with number 52 which was not on the bus and was forced to be on the street until everyone entered the bus, but after my requests to find out and find my place no one responded I had to take other places, although I chose these places! Then I and all the other passengers were very cold on the bus, at my request to change the temperature the driver did not change the temperature and we continued to freeze for 6 hours, now I feel ill!
Nice bus but no WiFi which would have been useful on a long journey
I felt very secure during the trip. The driver was very proffesional
The bus was freezing. The air conditioning was blasting cold air for the entire trip.
Very good facilities and quite drive, but the staff reaky dont know how to communicate in English.
Electronic response from Maria was right away and helpful when I had trouble booking
Great seats wifi, pissible to charge your phone and sage driver
Eu não sou João Paulo e não comprei passagem
Nice stuff and good buses! Some improvement with arriving schedules needed.
Friendly and helpful staff, good driver and quite comfortable bus. Highly recommendable.
The bus was very comfortable and the staff lovely the one thing I would regret is the voucher that we need to get at the station, I would have preferred a digital check in or to directly print my reservation. Apart from that the trip was smooth, good wifi and we arrived at destination safely.
Comfortable bus with spacious seats and USB charging ports. The bus did arrive late than the scheduled time and we weren’t made aware
Very very happy with the staff, and how contable was the bus!
Lacked considerations to non-spanish/portuguese speaking passengers
1.5 hour late on 6 hours trip
