Expressway Galway Castlebar recent customer reviews

Being a bad bus traveler i was very anxious about the trip. The bus driver was so pleasant and helpful, and a very good driver. They were a couple of incidents(other drivers driving out of side roads and roundabouts while bus had right of way) that could have angered a driver but he seemed so in control and unstressed and calm.
