Big Sky offers a generally comfortable travel experience with helpful drivers and clean buses. However, several reviews mention concerns about hygiene due to unpleasant odors from the toilet and issues like cockroaches.

Despite these challenges, many appreciated receiving booking messages in advance for convenience during their journey.

It’s always exciting to take a trip with Big Sky. However this time around it was spoiled by the drunkards who joined us on the way, and buy alcohol at a pitstop to continued drinking onboard!
