I booked this trip because the website and final receipt clearly stated it would be a 3-hour ride, but in reality it took almost 10 hours. The long delay caused us to nearly miss our train, which was very stressful.
I wish the company had been more transparent about the real travel time or informed passengers about possible delays. The ride itself was fine, but the misleading duration really affected our plans.
The van needed 10 hours for 300 km.
Heavy rain made the roads difficult to pass. I admire the driver for the way he managed it.
It was good that we were able to set off earlier because everyone was there. But the small bus was completely overcrowded. The seats were also very cramped and uncomfortable. D An interesting experience for Europeans, but not very comfortable.
The road ist really a challenge, after the rainfalls there were many stones on the street. The Van was completely füll with 18 persons and a Dog.
The driver did a great job and drove und save through all the wholes.
We, as a family decided to go by Van instead of the train because we wanted See the beauty of the Land and be in contact with the locals. And we wanted to Support the local companies.
I didn’t receive t’y ticket train or any confirmation for my trip. The Last on was delated, I have to order a second trip.
I dodn’t have any information about 12Go since now
An over-full minivan: drivers wait for too many people than seats and seatbelts before going :-( that is not comfortable for the price but most important: this is not safe for people. We were also 30' late?
There was a driver+ 25 passengers (incl. 4 toddlers) in a van!! Even the local people were not satisfied. There were of course not seat belts for anyone. The driver drove dangerously. The trip took 10hrs. Luckily co-passengers were very nice and friendly.
