The ferry was 30mins early - the arrival about 30mins late - so not as fast as promised. No clear information about when the bus to shianoulville were to leave. The VIP car was very run down Good driver

It was a combined boat and minivan trip. However, the voucher didn’t tell where to go in the harbour. There was no Information and nobody at the pier to pick me up. I had to ask several people to finally find one who explained me the way to the office.
