WARNING! Do not book with them. They double booked the whole bus so we needed to share bed but we paid for 2 beds! Got no refund! We were at the pick up point in time but the bus wasn’t there, took 20 minutes to find the bus and it was far away from the pick up place.

I booked a bus from Old Quarter and received a ticket for stop 25km away. I called the number and the lady gave me a time for the old quarter pick up which was incorrect so we ended up missing our 12pm bus. She put us on the 4pm bus but refused any compensation for the delay we faced and said it’s my fault because I wanted to change my pick up location. She was nice enough and not rude - kindly take this ans feedback to improve. And the bus itself took 7.5 hours not 5 as mentioned ( I believe it’s the standard time but it was misleading information posted on 12go). Bus was comfortable and clean though and drivers accommodated stopping where we requested which was helpful as we arrived so late,

The vehicle was very comfortable and had everything you need. Highly recommend. What made the tour bad was the service staff. Unfriendly when we loaded our baggage. Was rude to us during the trip and behaved like a commander. When we asked for a second blanket he denied even though there were enough for everybody.

We arrived at the pick up point with plenty of time to spare. After a while we were squashed into an old car, which already had two passengers in and driven to another bus pick up point. We were then put on a bus from a different bus company than we had purchased. The bus was not very nice and not what we had booked. We went for the top luxury option and there was nothing luxury about the bus we were put on. I have complained to 12go but they are still looking into it 10 days later!

They said the bus broke down, so instead of 9 I left at 11:30.. The same time the other one would go, we were with for 4 people. I guess they canceled it the 9 am one, if they told me earlier I could have stayed in the hotel. Also commutation how long the bus stop, wasn't there
