Expreso Brasilia Riohacha Cartagena recent customer reviews

The scheduled travel duration was 6hrs but it took 13.5hrs. The bus had two long stops. One was ~ 2hrs and another was ~ 1hr. Then a few short stops. This is not acceptable

The trip was ok but the air conditioning was way too high, we drove more than 7 hours with something like 8 degrees Celsius
