The bus was more than one hour late. Some of the parts of the bus were loose and making noise while moving and difficulting to keep sleeping.

Very nice new bus, very clean, water provided, massage chairs. Drivers were fantastic. One of the drivers even shared a snack with me, very kind. Only comment I would add is I was a bit confused when they swapped out drivers halfway through. I was the only one in the bus at night and didn’t know what was going on, but I soon realized they have two drivers to take different shifts. Everything was great.

The "limousine" turned out to be a Ford Transit minibus with only nine large very comfortable seats - plenty of room. It left a few minutes late but arrived on time. A 20 minute rest stop in the middle of the journey was welcome. The driver negotiated the twisty road with skill and safety.
