I liked how communication operator was responsive, helpful, when I didn't pick up the phone called me 3 times throughout 1.5 hours to make sure I get in touch on WhatsApp and was nice talking to. And the driver was nice too. And it was really good van with soft leather sits and I sat in the rear, and I could tilt my sit backwards almost to laying down position with plenty of space for my legs. And I arrived even a bit earlier than expected.

The Ferry was very old, no elevator for heavy luggage, very small stairs. Keep that in mind.

Trip went fine, great connection. We didnt like that it’s mandatory to be at the office 60min before departure, but let many many people board untill 15 minutes after departure time. Waited 1h15m before departure…
