Was me and my family first trip and we really enjoyed it the driver with the glasses was so friendly and helpful what we liked is that he announced how long the breaks will be and checked if everyone is there. There was a delay with the bus but provide us with a shuttle we then ex change but was still more or less in our time frame we expect to arrived late in Paarl but we didn’t we will most definitely travel with Greyhound again…Our experience to Pretoria with intercape was terrible..but I've decided for my whole family lets try Greyhound when we leave Pretoria to Cape town and I didn’t regret one minute of it Keep up the good work!
