It's a very comfortable bus and the seats are great, comfy and spacious. The bus attandent was friendly, the ride calm. The Staff in Arequipa was unfriendly and rude.
Because of the late I missed the next bus (of your company, even than the stuff told me it will wate)
Comfortable seats but entertainment didn't work, no usb plugs and checking in at arequipa was confusing

The bus was comfortable
I booked a window seat, but was given an aisle seat with no option to change. Movies played incessantly, with overly loud volume pumped through the entire cabin with no option to turn down or off. Seats were small and less comfortable than Econociva seats. Overall negative experience, but still worth the low price I paid (hence 2 stars rather than 1)
A smooth ride. They provide modest snacks along the way, and entertainment. However, even if the website, and bus company advertise WiFi, doesn't mean that they will give you the password.

Very late, due to being held up at a police control for an hour. Uncomfortable for someone with long legs. It is the economy option I guess
Budget bus - okay for short distances but wouldn’t recommend for a long trip
When buying the ticket it said I would arrive in Lima at 12 at night. I arrived at 3 in the night! We stopped somewhere for over 2 hours so the driver could do a nap. Next time it would be good to change drivers, so the people can get to the place in time.
Based on 523 reviews, the company was rated 3.7 stars on Busbud. Travelers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the power outlets but often complained with the wifi. Oltursa ticket prices on this trip start at $25.00

The bus was fine. However, there are a few issues. 1) no communication with the driver 2) no stops for food and no information that there won't be any stops 3) excessive noise from the tv
WiFi no sirve nada, demasiado paradas para un bus "directo".
Nothing spectacular
