I cancelled the trip. Dissatisfied that just a voucher for 1/2 was sent. I live in Ontario and will probably never use the voucher so out $120.00

The trip was OK. I had the same driver from Ft. Myers to Ft. Lauderdale and back. The bus driver, however, should reconsider his limits.

Driver was excellent. Coach was clean and comfortable. Excellent value Pickup point was confusing. We had confirmations with 2 different addresses. There was no signage or Red Coach shelter to wait in. Fortunately the torrential rain had stopped minutes before we arrived. The bus was 30 minutes late but we received no notification.

Customers found the bus service easy to use, but had trouble locating the boarding location due to a lack of signs. Some passengers were disappointed by delays caused by student driver training during the trip, leading to late arrivals and inconvenience for those waiting at their destination.

Greyhound Fort Myers Fort Lauderdale recent customer reviews

Everything was easy except finding what location the bus would be boarding. There were no signs anywhere. Fortunately after walking around the building, I was able to ask someone.

I was a bit disappointed that we had a student driver and the teacher was constantly talking to her and we would pull off into different parking lot to practice maneuvers and thus making us late for arrival. I had somebody waiting for me at 3:00 but we got there at 3:30 so I was not too happy about being late.

Fantastic trip, scenic, nice stop for bathroom or food and most importantly the driver, she was awesome - very friendly and courteous to the passengers! First time on a greyhound or bus trip and I really enjoyed lettting someone else take the wheel!
