The bus journey was very comfortable and much better then an experience i had with another bus company. Charging point was working which was very important to me.
My only issue was the price of the ticket was high

Service was efficient however driver didn’t speak any language but Portuguese so communication was non existent.
Driver was not friendly and didn’t welcome us onboard
Toilet was not available closed off and heating on the coach which made it unbearably hot and uncomfortable but was unable to communicate with driver

Excellent. The driver was courteous, professional and helpful… the only negative was that the bus was very cold but I had a coat on
Users have shared positive experiences with the service, highlighting punctual departures and arrivals, as well as clean buses. The staff's clear communication and helpfulness were appreciated by travelers. However, there was a mention of being dropped off at Faro city instead of the airport, which caused some inconvenience for passengers expecting to reach their intended destination directly.

I was disappointed that I paid extra to have the tickets moved up to a earlier time. The bus ended up being late and we didn't arrive that much earlier then if we would have stayed on the later bus. An attendant did come out and update us on the bus being late and directed us to the correct bus when it arrived which was helpful.

By far the worst company. The ticket was very misleading. I saw a ticket from Lisbon to faro. Why will I now be told there is a connection after I have paid. And to make matters worse, the drivers in Albufeira were all rude and unprofessional. And the driver was 30 minutes late.

Comprei viagem direta de Lisboa a Faro e sinto-me enganada. Depois de chegar ao Algarve parou em todas as cidades e chegou muito mais tarde a Faro o que foi muito cansativo.
O motorista não teve nenhum tempo de descansar antes de começar a viagem para Faro
