Greyhound Houston Memphis recent customer reviews

My husband's luggage was lost with all of his work equipment,clothes and etc. We have not been successful in recovering it.

Jemica C.

March 21, 2018

The driver that took us from Dallas to Memphis was great, if he hadn't driven who knows how long we would have been stuck in Dallas if he hadn't driven. We were three hours late leaving Houston, missed our connection from Dallas to Memphis, even though we should have had one and a half hours there, then the 3.15am bus that they allocated us didn't leave until after 6am. We should have been in Memohis just after 8 am and didn't arrive until after 3pm. A day that we should have been sightseeing in Memphis was ruined as we hadn't slept and didn't have the energy to go out once we arrived.
