AM
Great service and bus but the booking confirmation gave three different points for the boarding address (address, coordinates and picture of the map were all slightly different) so it was a bit stressful making sure we had the right place

Bus was comfortable except for that the driver talked a lot through the microphone and he didn’t speak English at all.
