Amazing. We even got snacks/lunch (small bottle of water, banana bread muffin and a nice portion lunch). Seats in the bus were very comfortable👍 made the 10 hours feel not so bad😂

Excellent service, better than I thought. I could drop my rucksack in the morning before the 9.30pm bus. All very organised, very kind and plenty of information before the trip. I took the vip bus, the seat had a massage button that helped immensely after a 12 hours flight and no sleep (I actually slept all night) Solo traveller, male

I have traveled with 12Go many times and it is always a great experience. This time I took the regular bus because I didn’t see the VIP available and I’d say the VIP is FOR SURE worth the extra money. Don’t be cheap here if you’re traveling a long distance, you will very likely be miserable if so :) esp if you are a guy with long legs.
