Viação 1001 Rio de Janeiro Arraial do Cabo recent customer reviews
There is no check in necessary, the peer number was iny ticket, I went directly to the bus stop. The seat was very comfortable. There was 2 USB chargers per seat and free WiFi.
Very badly, the worse company from all in the world. Not working wi-fi, late on 3 hours, we late on our boat
The bus never got us to Arraial do Cabo. The driver left us in a place close to it called Cabo Frío and said it was the last stop, even though the sign on the bus said Arraial do Cabo. He lied to us and we had to take a taxi from there to our final destination in Arraial. The worst service ever, so so unprofessional!
