It was nice that we could charge our phone and that we had 2 breaks of around 30 minutes. But the second day, the airco was not really working. Also the toilet became very gross so it smelled in the bus. There was also a 2 hour delay that was not communicated.

The bus got really hot during the night. There were curtains deciding the seats. It gave us some privacy while sleeping.

My luggage was loaded onto the wrong bus. It was pure luck I noticed it had been placed on a bus going to a completely different destination. I managed to rescue my rucksack, meanwhile the staff laughed
Passengers have noted that the bus seats are spacious, and checking in at the terminal is straightforward. However, there was a delay due to political street blockades affecting punctuality on some occasions.

Worst bus drive of my life. The bus didn’t stop even once to buy food or drinks I was starving Dying of thirst combining this with the 24 hours drive all the way to Cusco with the altitude was a real nightmare

We arrived at the terminal early but was able to check our bags in. We left on time, was served a delicious dinner of rice with beef patty and side of vegetables as well as a small breakfast. The seats were very comfortable and the temperature was great. We were provided with a pillow and blanket. Overall it was a great and safe experience. I’m glad I went this route to get to Cuzco. Remember to bring own headphones for the onboard entertainment.

The biggest complaint and problem was the bathroom. For a 22 hour bus trip and first class bus, the cleanliness and quality of the toilet needs attention and improvement. The service was excellent from Valeria.

Excellent service. We didn’t realize that the seats up top which cost a bit extra had more room and personal entertainment, next time we will buy the top deck tickets for sure. Bus bathroom did get a bit dirty but otherwise for a 22hr hour bus amazing!

Everything was fine. But the lady didnt want to gave us the WiFi password?! And maybe give the passengers 2 times the oppurtunities to go out the bus. 21 hours sitting is quite long.
Customers praise the comfortable seats and punctuality of the bus service. Positive remarks include bilingual staff, reclining seats, on-deck restroom, and accurate departure/arrival times. The only downside mentioned is the lack of onboard Wi-Fi as advertised during booking.
Oltursa Lima Cusco recent customer reviews
Bus ran on time, seats were comfortable. Only negative would be the lack of Wi-Fi (which it stated when booking)

My experience was great. I’m not very fluent in Spanish at the moment. So it was very reassuring when staff was bilingual. Now that may not always be the case but in my scenario it helped tremendously. The bus ride itself is very comfortable. Equipped with reclining seats and lcd screens to watch movies on your ride. As well as having an on-deck restroom, you’ll surely ride in comfort. Departure and arrival times are accurate, in fact I think we arrived earlier than our intended arrival. The only problem I experienced was a lack of onboard Wi-Fi. But other than that no complaints.
