I thought I had pre-selected seats in middle of van but we ended up with 1-2. 1 is basically a kiddy seat between the driver & passenger seats in front. It is not suitable for a grown man to sit on for more than 3 hours. As the bus was full he couldn’t move. Otherwise fine. Was on time & good price

Excellent, except the pick up place was wrong. It's written on the ticket to be at crab market and the bus is at the tourist office. The company called me and the driver waited for me. You might change your information on the ticket

The driving style of the bus driver and the drive itself was fine. At one point two passengers got very drunk, were noisy, took drugs and endangered themselves pretty bad. I would have thrown them out of the bus because that's unacceptable behaviour. He bus wasn't properly clean but okay for the price.
