Driver was a racing mate but we did it on time to the destination. Busses are not very comfortable for a 5 hour drive, especially for tall persons. But all in all the price is ok and it takes you from A to B.

the ticket separation was ok, the confirmation was fast, but the day of the trip I did not find them in the terminal, I called the number indicated in one of the emails and it was not active. I had to go with another private car that was very expensive to avoid missing my flight.

It was about as good as a 6 hour trip in Philippines heat can get. Van was full but there was aircon, stopped twice for short breaks. We got there in one piece. The instructions say to book an extra seat if you have a large bag so I did, but didn’t need to so paid double for no reason.

We were told we had to wait until 8am to leave instead of the 7am departure we had booked. We ended up waiting for 90 minutes before we set off! It seemed like they were waiting to fill the van before leaving but considering they didn’t offer an 8am journey when we booked this felt unreasonable - we wouldn’t have gotten up early to get the bus if we knew it wouldn’t leave until 8:30!

Left on time. Driver was a bit too fast at times. Drop off at the airport with plenty of time.
