I almost missed the bus because the address wasn't clear enough. And the driver didn't stop using his horn for a second, which was very annoying and disturbing. Plus, if there should be only 3 stops in the beginning and 3 stops at the end, why there were 5-6 stops to lift people to the bus with so much waiting without air conditioning?

I consider that the transportation accommodation is good, as well as the information of the route and its staff, but the train arrived late and when leaving it also delayed until its arrival with respect to the time of duration of the same.

The trip for 4 hours is comfortable. Punctual and very clean. It would be better if it had the possibility of luggage outside the cabin.

Next Time I Will book directly via nuego!
