Very bad experience, i went 30 minutes earlier at the bus station to only know that there was no space on the bus. If the bus is fully booked - why issue the tickets?

We were denied the ticket from 12go and asked us to contact 12go for the refund. They mentioned that they aren't entertaining any bookings from bookaway which is fulfillment partner for 12go. This happened for both round trip tickets from Luxor to Aswan

Till the previous late evening we didn’t know driver details, suddenly a guy contacts over what’s app that he is the driver and doesn’t know where to pickup. Later in the night another guy contacts and says he is the driver and wants details. Booking .com is more professional , we find all details including alloyed driver in the app. The car was clean and good driver drove safely. The driver took detour on the way into a muddy interior road which went through villages with no other vehicles on the road which made us panic.

I'm really impressed with the service both from the driver and the customer service team. They were all checking in on me to make sure I was comfortable. My driver was very professional and a safe driver. Can't recommend enough.

I'm still wauting why I paid only around 60€ and the ticket I got was around 33€. I asked for a bill where I can check the different positions why it cost so much more. Years ago I really liked to book with 12Go but for now the support is getting less, even this plattform is trying to cheat (at this moment hey ignored my message where I kindly asked about the prices of the different position/service fees.

It was good. Nothing exceptional but it got me to my destination just as planned. Though I had expected a bit more from the first class Talgo train. Only thing that I should point out is that 12GO’s estimated arrival time was off by over an hour. But that wasn’t really a problem for me.

Bought the ticket for Talgo train second class. Was told to pickup the physical ticket 30mins before train departure. I got there and they didn’t have my ticket. The guy had to go buy a new ticket for a different train and a different time. Had no choice but to take the new train which took longer.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
