User reviews from travelers who booked a bus ticket from Madrid to Alicante
Ratings and Reviews (21)
Both the drivers were really friendly and accommodating. Though they didn’t speak much English, they did try their best to understand the other passengers that asked some questions.
Overall, I had a positive experience. I was satisfied with the bus and the driving. The estación was a little confusing because I didn’t know which bus my bus was (I had a stop on a bus with another final destination), so I wish I had had that information prior to getting to the station.
Driver spoke no English, no announcements, took 7 hrs to get to Alicante. Seemed the fwy was slow/cluttered. Our only stop at Albercete was so busy with school groups that one didn't have time to order food,then people were late coming back on board.
