Greyhound Dover Norfolk recent customer reviews

The ride was great until we had a small medical problem with a passenger. It was handled very well thanks to the driver and a couple of passengers. I felt for the lady she was traveling by herself. But my grandson and myself felt very comfortable and safe.
