Ioannis BThe trip was great and on time with the express bus, the big problem was 12go. Before I paid my "instant" confirmation ticket I was told it takes around 14 hours to confirm, but once I paid, I was told it can take up to 3 days to get my ticket. This was super stressful as I was leaving in less than 48 hours and had unreasonable excuses from their support. Luckily everything went fine in the end
