La atención del chófer y su ayudante, la comodidad de los asientos y que pasó por Tiradentes
Petra J.
The bus left 10 minutes late and arrived 90 minutes late. The bus seats are made for smaller people, not six footers. The seats lie right back making it very uncomfortable for the person behind. The seats also have a strange leg support which is tailored for shorter people. The woman selling the tickets in Rio was very helpful. The stops along the way were timely and the aircoditioning worked well.
