Timely and good value service. Clean coach. The link to change the booking didn't find my reference number and attempts to change by Chatbot and web site didn't work.
James M.
Great bus with WiFi. Driver very helpful with luggage and assisting anyone with information.
Ann N.
Did not enjoy the map with the pin as the pin shows the wrong side of the street for pick up. Also, it would be beneficial to explain where to look on the bus stop signs for the JJ pick up. First timers to Ireland aren’t used to knowing where to look for street info either (on the side of buildings).
