After a shaky start (I think they forgot about us…) the rest of the trip went well. Good safe driver, appreciated the drop off at our accommodation. The provider was also very accommodating when we requested to change the date of departure.

I booked a van for 9 AM. Was there at 8:30 as requested. In the end we had to switch vans and didn't even leave until 10 AM. If I’d known this, I would've just booked one for 10 and had more time in the morning.

The driver drove to fast even during the curves; if you seat at the back it is like to stay on a roller-coaster

Left almoat exactly at 5AM. Even when we got q flat tire and had to stop, we still arived more or less at 10AM. The ride itself was definitely an experience but I went into this expecting it so it was fine. You get what you pay for!

My first time on the Jolly bus. Be careful with being dropped off at the PPS terminal, it’s in the middle of nowhere and will cost you and additional 200-300 peso’s by trike.

Fast and punctual. Not good amount of space for luggage. Little uncomfortable inside because it was full but it was not so bad. Had a lunch break halfway through the journey. Good experience.

Timing wasn’t an issue for us but we did get there long after we were supposed to which is good to note if you have a flight. Other than that it was great
