Crucero del Norte Rio de Janeiro Puerto Iguazú recent customer reviews

Got wrong places. The TV didn't work the first 5 hours, the "dinner-stop" was too late and too short. They said 30 min. but it became 48 min. Would be better if they said 50 min. and kept that.

It was ok. Comfortable seats, but no Wi-Fi and power socket for a laptop in this bus... Just 1 big USB charger for all passengers.

Good bus. What to do at the border, could have also be told in English, now it was a bit chaotic and not directly clear for me, what to do. Likewise that at the end had to change to a different bus.
