Flota Occidental Salento Medellin recent customer reviews
This bus ride was a lot smoother for me! The driver was so nice. The chairs were comfortable. Although there wasn’t enough overhead storage and I had to keep my backpack between my legs. There is a stopmidway through for a restroom break and there is food.

It was fine. The bus left on time and arrived on time. It came with a toilet and aircon but the aircon wasn't that great once it got hotter later on in the day.

Accidentally bought a ticket for a Bus in the Night. People of the Bus Company were very friendly and helping me to change it for an earlier bus.
