Jess MExcellent - clear details provided of the pick-up location, a WhatsApp sent directly by the driver with a picture of the bus so I knew what to look out for, and a link sent to live track the location of the bus. On time, comfortable and clean.

Anonymous An OK ride with a caveat. The van was not crowded and some cute girls were on it. Some male passenger had body odor which spoiled the ride a little and the driver did not open air con not windows for the whole ride..

Michail Very professional telephone service in English. Available on the phone whenever I wanted to reach the company. A bit difficult to buy tickets in the Traventuria website.
