ALSA Valencia Barcelona recent customer reviews

Bus was decently comfortable, and the journey was timely. I had a problem with driver when I was boarding in Valencia. He looked at my digital wallet ticket and could not believe that 6:00pm was the same as 1800. He kept insisting that my bus was at 6:00am. Only by demanding that I see the passenger list and confirm my name on it did he let me on.

We loved the double deck bus, it's new and has a screen. The driver is good, although we didn't understand the Spanish he had announced, we just guessed nothing we had missed out. It's fast and we had a nice time in the view and got an hour sleep. It is quiet and relaxing.
