According to customer reviews, the driver Juan provided excellent service and was friendly. However, there were mechanical problems that caused delays of up to 2.5 hours. Despite this issue, customers appreciated being transferred to alternative buses from other companies during the journey.

Bus was okay and driver was good but journey took a very long time due to roadworks and heavy traffic. Not the fault of Arauca but the journey wS not enjoyable.
