Great Trip

Punctual, interesting commentary, safe considerate driving and dropped off at our apartment (which was some way from the bus stop). Very good value for money.

Nice Trip

The bus driver was very friendly and funny. Unfortunately, the breaks were kept as short as possible. The bus arrived 20 minutes late. The bus was not particularly cosy.
