I was a bit disappointed with this trip, nothing major but not as good as I usually experience. It was maybe mentionned in the ticket, and I didnt pay attention, but the fact that we had to swap buses in the middle of our sleep, was not so great. The 1st bus was perfect, the 2d one was oldish, full, the air conditioner water was leacking above my head, the tv sound was broken and the toilets were very disgusting. The staff was always very nice. We arrived 2h30 late.

Ora di partenza 20,20. Ora di arrivo prevista 7.20. Arrivo effettivo ore 13.00. Mi sembra che si possa parlare di un leggero ritardo che ha naturalmente procurato una serie di leggeri problemi. Giudizio leggero: pessimo servizio. Saluti Un vostro ex cliente
