Wanda Coach Tampa Washington recent customer reviews

Very poor hygiene, 80% of the bus seats were very dirty . No communication from the driver, very annoying sound coming from the bus suspension so if you’re planning to get some sleep for your long trip make sure to bring earbuds. Overall bad experience wouldn’t recommend it to my friends and relatives
