I booked a transfer expecting a direct and professional service, but what I got was essentially a community taxi service at my expense. Why you should avoid this company: • The "Local" Stops: We didn't drive from A to B. Instead, the driver constantly stopped to pick up locals on the side of the road. We spent half the journey dropping people off at markets and picking up new "passengers" along the way. • Massive Delays: Because the driver turned our private car into a shuttle for the whole neighborhood, we arrived hours later than scheduled. If you have a flight to catch or a meeting to attend, do not trust them. • Lack of Professionalism: When we complained about the delays and the extra passengers, the driver just ignored us and kept looking for more people to squeeze into the car. • Safety Concerns: The car became overcrowded and the driver was clearly more focused on making extra cash from locals than on getting his actual customers to their destination safely.

The driver was 1 hour and 20 minutes late, when I was calling the number provided they did not answer the phone once to help. The driver proceeded to make between 7-10 stops throughout the journey picking up various random people from the side of the street for extra cash and then dropping them where they asked. This added significant time to the journey and we ended up arriving over two hours late partially due to his cash side jobs. Everytime someone would be dropped off he would look for someone else to pick up so that the van was constantly completely full for no reason other then for them to earn extra money in the side. When I asked if he could take me an extra 2 minutes down the road this was not possible even though the driver has done it for locals all day, he would just swipe his hand and say not without even acknowledging me. By far the worst driving experience I have had throughout travelling the whole of Asia. They have no care about getting there in time and only care about earning extra money through side jobs by picking up locals and ripping them wherever they needed, not at stops even though this was jot possible for others in the coach. When I asked about dropping to my hotel he said they were not allowed due to the hotel, when I turned up at the hotels and asked they said it was completely fine and that they have bus and van services drop residents there all day. A complete lie from the driver, I would not recommend this provider of transport at all.

Departure was 2:05 hours too late, they didn‘t even apologize for it. Also, departure wasn‘t at the airport (as the description said), we had to walk 10 mins from the airport to their office, because they are not allowed to enter the airport pick-up area. Such a waste of time, would never book this company again!

The location wasn’t correct, we had to go find the right one. We waited for 3 hours for the van!! And the driver kept collecting random people from the road and giving them a ride, instead of arriving at 15:30 we arrived at 19:00 which was super disappointing!!

The ride was not very comfortable as everyone was packed in with lots of cases as well, but the driver was very helpful and he also didn’t waste any time. The best thing was that our flight was late and we thought we had lost the transport because we were almost 45 minutes late at the airport but our tickets were still honoured and we made it to El Nido as planned. Very grateful.

The van didn't show up. Messages and calls to the operator wasn't helpful. Finally we walked from the pick-up spot and found their office. I got a ride in another van. Finally and late to the destination. Fully charged and no excuses.
