The minibus was in good condition, clean and comfortable. WiFi was not available as said because it needs password. The driver was good. On time at departure.

Small and crowded bus. Even though we had seat reservations in our tickets, there were no numbers on the seats.

The service was perfect. The only thing, that we had the numbered tickets, we entered the last ones and we had to go separately in the last remaining free seats.

The bus had no phone charge. The stuff didn't speak English and were extremely unfriendly (angry for no reason). The bus was 50 minutes late and they said nothing to the people who were stressed.
