The location was easy to find. You can easily see the buses with the Go Bus logo. The trip went very well, quite fast. The seats are very comfortable. The person putting the luggage in the hold will insistently ask you for a tip. On the other hand, I had taken the Delite package with food. Nothing was served. And no wifi either. Take the simple formula, and you'll save a few euros.
