Everyone was very professional yet welcoming and very informative. The drivers made us feel that we part of a family. Bus was very clean and everything was just perfect. This is the kind of intercape experience that I'm use. God bless.

It was the worst experience ever. Amongst other reasons:
1) The bus departed 2 hours later than scheduled.
2) Passengers were drinking alcohol on the bus.
3) Loud music was playing throughout the journey, including the night.
I vowed never to use this service again.
