Everything was perfect, from A-Z. It was my first Bus-Trip in Columbia and I will do it again, if possible, with Unitransco.

We were told that our bus had been canceled so they scheduled us to a different bus. We were told that instead of the front seats that we had requested we were now in the back next to the bathroom. The bathroom had a horrible odor that made it difficult to stay in our seats.

2h hours late, no excuses norhing. The driver left us in the middle of nowhere in barranquilla instead of the bus station because we were "only 2" going there. It's a shame.

Bad service and communication at the bus station, they responded in a very unpolite way, arrogant I'd say. The service in the bus itself was oke although there was no clear indication of the bus stop.
