Users have highlighted the friendly staff and comfortable seating as positive aspects of their experience. However, there were some concerns about a 90-minute delay and the lack of vegetarian meal options. Additionally, while USB chargers are available, they are located in the overhead compartment rather than at each seat for convenience.

Friendly staff. Comfortable seating. But I thought it was advertised as a lie flat bed? Instead it was a reclining seat.

The service was fantastic. Didn't enjoy the delay of 90 minutes. Would have appreciated a vegetarian dinner option. No USB chargers were available right at the seat, only in the hand luggage compartment above, which is slightly less convenient. The seats were comfortable but not amazing.

It was by far the most professional bus company we used throughout our month in South America. Cleanest bus, best snacks. The staff was friendly, too.

The bus service offers very nice sweets on board and a good WiFi connection, which is appreciated by customers. However, non-Brazilian passengers have mentioned that the bus terminal can be confusing and finding the correct bus might be difficult for them.

For non Brazilians, the bus terminal was very confusing and difficult to find the correct bus

Got free blanket and pillows waiting on our seat. We then also got a free meal and drink in the evening and then a free snack and drink in the morning which was a great surprise.
