Aircoach Dublin Galway recent customer reviews
On my ticket it says the bus will departure at 11am *be there 15 min earlier*. So I was there at 10:30 am, the bus came at the same time and was pressuring me so much! My friend was even still missing bc the ticket said 10:45 am would be enough. The busdriver was really annoyed and said I shall call my friend and he’s going to leave in like 2 min - he didn’t care about the tickets and the time at all. Sad, was really stressful. But all in all the rest was good and I enjoyed the bus trip
My family absolutely loved travelling in Aircoach. My return journey from Galway to Dublin was at 1830 hours but i had to travel 2 hours early. Aircoach staffs were really helpful to accommodate earlier coach for me and my family. The coach was very neat and clean and the driver was also very helpful.
