バス旅行のレビュー。、書き直して。英語で。バスの冷暖房は壊れていて出発時は室温が0度くらい。、皆震えていました。日中は逆に室温が上がり30度近くになり地獄のようでした。トイレも壊れていて使えないし砂ぼこりがすき間から入って車内はほこりまみれでした。あれほどひどいバス旅行は生まれて初めてです。損害賠償を請求したい気分です。
Review of a Bus Tour
This was, without a doubt, the worst bus trip I have ever experienced. The tour bus was in a terrible state of disrepair, and it completely ruined the journey.
To start, the air conditioning and heating system was broken. When we departed, the temperature inside the bus was close to 0°C, and everyone was shivering uncontrollably. Later in the day, the temperature rose to nearly 30°C, making the bus feel like an oven. The onboard toilet was also out of order, which was incredibly inconvenient.
Additionally, the bus was not sealed properly, allowing a constant stream of dust to enter through the cracks. The entire cabin was covered in a thick layer of dust, which was both unpleasant and unhygienic.
Given the appalling conditions, this trip was a complete disaster and not worth the money. The state of the bus was so poor that I feel like I should be compensated for the experience. I would strongly advise against booking this tour.

The bus broke down after one hour, then we had to wait two hours. AC was not turned on during the whole ride. Border control between Bolivia and Chile was extremely slow. Arrived in Calama with a 4,5h delay

Easy to find Bus office at Uyuni. Staff were helpful and direct. We had 2 or 3 stops on the way. Interesting to use the bathroom and get a quick snack literally in the middle of the mountains.
Based on 53 reviews, the company was rated 2.7 stars on Busbud. Travellers were especially satisfied with the departure location and the staff but often complained with the Wi-Fi. Trans Salvador ticket prices on this trip start at US$56
