Very comfortable 180 degree seat! Lousy breakfast though, cannot be that hard arranging something a bit better. And no toilet paper, which is really bad.

I chose CIVA bus company this time due to the departure time. The bus was dirty, there was no room to move. It was full, no air conditioning and most of the windows didn't open. It was a really bad journey. I won't travel with this company again

The bus line itself was good, bus was clean and comfortable, left on time, staff was good. However, what was supposed to be at max a 12 hour ride, turned into 22 hours because of construction delays and an accident. We sat stopped in the middle of nowhere for hours and hours. It was a night bus so we didn’t bring food for an entire day and it was horrible. Don’t make my mistake, always bring a snack.
