From the beginning, it was a pleasant and positive experience—a simple, easy and straightforward booking. Friendly and professional drivers, bus on time, on departure and arrival, comfortable and pleasant ride.

Dragan S.

The bus was supposed to leave at 2.30 pm. We were informed about that time the bus would be delayed. We were then informed at 15 min increments that there would be further delay, but no explanantion given. Finally left about 4.15pm and it was a smooth ride from there. I don't think I want to repeat the experience. I chose the bus because of the choice of times, but maybe the once daily train would have been better.
