ALSA Ponferrada Madrid recent customer reviews
We had to change buses in Madrid. The bus arrived 30 minutes late at the airport. This bus change was not announced and not well guided.
Geert B.
The reservation was simple and flawless. The bus was full so I'm glad we reserved 3 days early. Many thanks.
Mark P.
We were very happy with everything. My husband who had an android phone could connect to wifi but for some reason both my iPhone & iPad could not connect. That was my only disappointment.
