The bus is very new and clean

The bus is very new and clean. Even the bathroom is quite nice. And I feel very safe. I only have two complaints. We are packed in like sardines. Seems like each time there’s a new bus, they try to pack in more seats. So the seats are small and there’s almost no legroom. Also no cup holders so don't bring coffee. Biggest benefit is that you can charge ur phone on every seat!

I just wish airplanes and buses put ppl over profit and gave us some room. It used to be so much more comfortable.

But for getting around in safety, the bus is great and appreciate that we have it.

I would like to share my experience…

I would like to share my experience with your company and express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service you provided.

I was genuinely surprised by how well you took care of my father. His train broke down, which caused him to miss his scheduled bus connection. However, your staff made sure that he was able to take one of your buses later the same day.

Your professionalism, understanding, and willingness to help during a stressful situation meant a lot to us, and we are truly grateful for the support your team provided.

Thank you once again for your outstanding customer service.

"For half of the journey

"For half of the journey, all passengers were subjected to a foul odor coming from the back of the bus. Greyhound did not even offer the opportunity to switch to a clean vehicle."

Barcelona to Lloret

As this is as my first time is Spain I had no clue which company to use, I took a punt on these guys and it was absolutely seamless. The app made it easy to find the location. Will definitely be using again on my next trip. Great service at a value price. My journey was Barcelona to
Lloret. Took 1:15 mins in heavy traffic for 13€ 👌
