Intercape Plettenberg Bay Paarl recent customer reviews

No informationw as given to me about a connecting bus from somerset to paarl, and as such i did not get off at somerset assuming we would still stop in paarl. I then had to get off in belville and organize my own transport from there to paarl. A gruelling experience, and i will not be using intercape again.
