On time. Compact cabin but well laid out for 4 adults and suitcases. Snacks laid on for brekkie and lots of food / drink offers from the train staff. Mattresses a little hard but her decent kip. WiFi just about allowed us to watch all and World Cup game live. And England won!!

The overall experience was better than I imagined. There were plenty of goodies. The air conditioning in the cabin was okay. If you were on the top bunks you couldn’t feel it much.

The whole experience was a pleasure. The cabins were so clean and neat. The toilets were cleaned every hour. Highly recommend the foot spa too.

Although the instructions said to arrive to the stop 30 - 45 minutes ahead of time, apparently the bus got there over an hour early. We were at the hotel packing and planned to get coffee on our way out, but instead I had three phone calls rushing me. I thought I misread the instructions, but no, they just wanted to leave early. Instead of meeting at the spot, the bus came to our hotel and literally the driver was in the lobby rushing us while the person was on the phone rushing us. No time to get coffee or breakfast items. We only had one stop on the way there for lunch, it was so hot and a lot of the packaged snacks were well beyond the expiration date, but I was hungry having not eaten anything. It was a 12 hour bus ride and it was totally thoughtless and inconvenient to rush your passengers like that. Also, we had no major delays but still arrived 10 minutes after scheduled. Maybe you should consider updating your pick up times.

We liked our experience but it was more expensive than a flight and a flight is a much better experience. They could work on cleaning more and having better breakfast. It’s something to do once, I would recommend over a sleeper bus for sure!

Just ok. Train was a bit dirty. Operator put the two tickets we bought on one booking into different train cars. Very annoying.
