The TV was on the whole time and the sound was incredibly loud even tough nobody was watching. My noice canceling headphones could not handle it. Why ruin the nice bus ride with noisy and bad movies?

Lima to Paracas express. Made several stops along the way to fill the bus so wasn't exactly express.b also stopped in Pisco. Terminal is hectic and difficult to get to with traffic. Bus was clean and comfortable though. Would use again.

I arrived 3.33am and they didn’t leave to take the bus. The bus was on place, I got in and the bus started to move. The driver was opening the door for me but the lady outside wave to him saying just keep going on. I had to buy another ticket and they were not helpful.

Everything was a lie. From yhr time of departure to the actual place of pick up. The ride was also over an hour longer than scheduled. Totally unacceptable.

They changed the time of the bus from 0815 to 0530 and neglected to ensure we were aware of the change of time. They claim to have sent an email which was not received
