Flixbus Rome Matera recent customer reviews

Given the distance it was amazing how on time all stops were. As always with Flixbus- nice to have well timed stop every now and then (it was a long trip from Rome to Matera). And- special point for starting at the airport, no need for an extra trip to the city centre.
