JACOBSCOACHES Fort Beaufort Cape Town recent customer reviews
This is the second time I've a bad experience with Jacobs. I booked a bus and they sent a shuttle that had 2 tire bursts while we are on the road, the shuttle is very old and uncomfortable. Not to mention that the driver was very tired and sleepy. One of the passengers had to drive. Such a ridiculous bus rhaaa

I booked a luxury coach and to my surprise we travelled by Iveco shuttle. It was Soo uncomfortable for a long journey to Cape Town. The shuttle arrived an hour late than the scheduled time, we were not informed accordingly.
