Took too long, no stops, speedboat was crammed to the max with people not having seats. No one knew where we needed to go, Not clear when you get off the speedboat. Made a 4 hour detour to pick up and drop off random people and pick up phones. Again no break apart from a 10 min break 1 hour into the bus journey.

Great experience with very helpful staff on boat. Was a bit disorganised when we changed boats but probably due to the large amount of travelers. Wasn’t aware of any extra support we paid for.

The trip itselfwas fine, but the lack of a detailed itinery makes it more difficult and stressful. It would have been useful to know that when leaving the boat one has to make one's way to the operator's office (nobody meets or guides you) abd also that one has to change buses and re-check in. It is very confusing to be kicked off one bus without knowing why orwhat to do next! Fortunately drivers and staff are helpful, despite language barriers. But really, I think 12go should provide a detailed itinerary so that passengers know whatto expect and where to go.

Everything is perfect but you could offer ear plugs for every single journey, engines are powerful and loud. Overall- thank you for smooth service!
