They took us on a small boat and charged us extra money for this and for priting the tickets. They didn’t say it before the trip.

Had to wait for 5 hours at the border due to a Bolivian holiday that the bus company was aware of. I don’t know why they didn’t change the bus time to later in the day instead of making everyone wake up at 5am for no reason.

I don’t enjoy the service. Please check with customers to ensure they have their correct papers before crossing border or advise them not to get on bus.

Transzela bus company was an all around great experience. I've spent a fair amount of time on buses these last few months and they definitely had the comfiest seats!

According to user feedback, the bus service generally offers a clean and comfortable experience with friendly staff. However, there have been reports of unclear policies regarding land border crossings that led some passengers to miss their scheduled buses and arrive significantly later than planned.

Nuevo Continente Internacional Puno La Paz recent customer reviews

The bus itself was on time, clean, and comfortable and the staff were nice. However, we’ve done tons of land border crossings with busses where people get visas on arrival and the bus waits. This one did not. They left without us and we had to get another bus and ended up at our destination 6 hours later then scheduled. I think it’s fine if that’s the policy but it should be clear when booking. We’ve never had that issue before.

It was an overall terrible experience. I arrived an hour early...only to find the 6:00am bus was cancelled and I was not notified of any cancellation prior. I would NEVER reccomend this bus company to others abs buabud should no longer partner with them.
