Manila to Baguio Destination Reviews

The refusal of the driver and his companion to communicate when we would we stop for a bathroom break was infuriating. my wife asked for an hour, all they would tell her was it was near. Withdraw nearly 75% of the miles before stopping comma and it was obvious at that time it was just for the driver's break, not for the comfort of the passengers. It was 4 hours of travel time before stopping, a long time especially for older passengers and young children. My wife is filipina, it was a language barrier issue, was very poor communication by the staff.

My first time to use this app to book my bus ticket bound to my hometown. Upon booking, my first concern was my baggages since I have 3 and worried that the bus I booked may not allow to load them😁 I asked the if they could help me let the bus company consider my travel situation so they would allow me have my baggages be loaded. And they did! Second, I don't want to travel for a long time on the road as sometimes I feel so dizzy and would thrown up on long time travels so I booked express drive to lessen the travel time. I intentionally booked at night too to avoid traffic😅. And so that was to be a 5hrs long drive at night but to my SURPRISE, I arrived to my ravel destination earlier than I expected! It became 4hours drive! SUPERB,really! Thank you so much for attending my concern and a hassle free booking! Very reliable. I want to thank also the bus company for letting me load my baggages the fact that they are big sizes and heavy loads too. The bus company's staff even help me to carry my baggages to bring and load at the compartment. And to the lady staff at the ticketting booth to who gave her friendly service to me upon redeeming my bus ticket from a voucher confirmation of my booked ticket! Again, a HUGE THANK YOU 12Go for the very accomodating and reliable service. Lookinh forward to join you as one of your affiliates in the future!😊 Anyways, that bus company was VICTORY LINER ! Thanks a lot!

We had online booking for 2 persons but due to unavoidable circumstances plus traffic we came in late by 19min. We were expecting that we can upgrade or even downgrade our ticket, since we knew that on the contract, no refund or cancellation. The customer service representative just informed us that we need to buy new tickets. I was thinking airline companies allows rebooking or transfer. We ended getting out ticket in Victory Liner. This is so frustrating!
