Expreso Brasilia San Gil Cartagena recent customer reviews
The bus was very comfortable and the driver was excellent. But the toilets were super dirty and we did not stop for a break at all for 14 hours. No food, no drink
Catherine H.
The trip was supposed to be 16 hours and we left an hour late and arrived 3 hours later. Also, the bus was freezing the whole ride
Dana B.
Ride was smooth but late leaving/arriving and toilets were not looked after for the whole 17 hour ride! Poor hygiene
