It is good and have a space to relax your knees, but the chairs are too small and it doesn't have that thingy to relax your arm, but it was wa a good trip, just that the driver was taking too long to stop for a break.

I like how I got to my destination. The staff was friendly. But the space was very tight, there was hardly any space for us to put our bags. Half of the pods to charge were not working. Even the ones that were working were charging really really slow.

Delta Coaches Queenstown Cape Town recent customer reviews
Experience was very disappointing, the bus got delayed by almost two hours with no explanation or call to inform passengers and the ride from eastern Cape to Cape Town was unbearable, drivers do not know customer service it's like they doing us favors yet we are paying tickets with our hard earned money.. Delta needs to do better, communicate with customers, teach drivers customer service etc..

We traveled with an old bus that was overheating so we had to be on 'stop and go' and then mid way they changed us to a double decked bus which was alright, we drove nicely to Capetown. I was just disappointed with the fact that i couldn't sit with my Son on the same row, i think they can arrange us better next time.

Bus was late by more than 8 hours and they didn’t bother updating us about the delay. Furthermore the bus was in a bad condition with resulted to it being impounded along the way & when we called the office/owner demanding a replacement bust to pick us up he simply switch of his phone and we had to fend for ourselves to get other means of transportation to get to Cape Town from Beaufort West, having to pay extra on goop of paying for bus ticket
