The heating was initially unbearably warm. Then after about an hour or so it was turned completely off, where we froze in -3 degrees temperature with only a thin blanket given to us.

Efficient, comfortable and on time. Only complaint is please fire the person who thought it was a good idea to have a warming alarm go off in the passenger compartment when the driver exceeds the speed limit, infuriating!

It was all very organised with the boarding. But the seats were very narrow and if the person in front declined their seat, there was almost no room for your legs. The bus was A SAUNA since the radiators by the windows were a million degrees. I felt like I was having a heat stroke. Would not choose them again.
Customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the service, mentioning that it was too hot and staff were rude. Additionally, there were complaints about broken chairs, a smell of gas throughout the ride, difficulty breathing due to heat, and even boiling water bottles. These issues seem to be consistent across multiple reviews.

According to customer reviews, there are mixed opinions about the comfort of the seats. Some customers found them shockingly comfortable, while others had difficulties sleeping during overnight rides. However, it's worth noting that seat number 6 should be avoided as it has a heater underneath that can make the seat extremely hot and cause overheating issues for personal belongings such as laptops and cameras. Additionally, some customers mentioned being disturbed by movies playing during their journey.

Comfy seats, safe driving, good luggage handling, and they gave us a little snack pack which was nice, but we did arrive an hour later than the ticket stated.

App said I could use digital ticket but they wouldn’t let me use it at the station. Additionally app didn’t let select seats so was assigned a random one. Also app made it seem like it was a cama class but bus only had regular chairs

The staff had no idea where i was supposed to go. I was there 2 hours early and the bus left without me because staff kept sending me to other terminal locations. I ran after the bus caught it and they refused to let me on. They took my luggage. The next bus left late and broke down and arrived late

It was fine, bus was clean, seats were comfy, staff was helpful, movies were good. Only negative was that it arrived late to cusco and I almost missed a work meeting.
