APMWC East London Cradock recent customer reviews

I didn't enjoy anything about that ride. 1st of all the bus was supposed to leave EL at 16:00 and it only left at +17H00. 2ndly when we arrived on Queenstown we were told to get off, every who is using the route to Capetown and that another bus is coming to pick us up. That bus only came around 00:00 to pick us at komani and I arrived in Cradock at 2h40am. Imagine according to the ticket I booked I was supposed to have arrived in cradock at 22h00.
