Marga Esquel El Chaltén recent customer reviews

The bus was super old, no AV, toilet wasn’t great, poor aircon and seats barely reclined in semi cama. For what we paid this wasn’t great value for money

I had no idea I’d what services we would have, and was so disappointed to find out hat we basically had none. The seats were so stained and the whole bus was dirty. There were oil marks on the windows. We were offered a tiny and cold piece of bread and some kind of meat at about 8pm. We had one stop to get a snack at a gas station and then to buy a tortilla at a roadside stand. There were no electrical outlets, no WiFi, no water, no cups for the terrible coffee they were offering. They didn’t turn off the movie, which had only occasional sound, until midnight. It was such an imunpleasant trip. I will never ride a Marga taqsa bus again. The only good thing was the temperature control.
