23 February 2026 - Couples trip

Wanda Coach
Pros: Le fait d’arriver au plus tôt à New York suite à l’annulation de notre vol et de plus moins cher que Flixbus Cons: Aucun arrêt n’était spécifié alors qu’on s’est arrêtes plein de fois pour récupérer des gens. Par contre il n’y a eu que 3 pauses de 10 minutes chacune pour aller aux toilettes (difficile au mc Donald quand il n’y a que 2 toilettes pour 20 personnes !). Aucune interaction possible avec les chauffeurs. Ils ne parlaient que le Chinois (fort er tout le temps entre eux, pas de respect pour les autres voyageurs, surtout sur le trajet en mini van délabré entre Tampa er Orlando où le chauffeur n’arrêtait pas de parler avec 2 autres chinoises). Les bus n’ont aucun confort, pas de tablette pliante pour poser son repas ou au moins un filet pour y ranger une bouteille d’eau. Bus très sales. Pas de vente d’eau alors qu’ il y a très peu d’arrêts. Impossible pour des étrangers de réserver via leur site, on a dû passer par Wanderu. Aucun horaire donné. Pas de prises de courant, juste 1 prise usb et toutes n’étaient pas fonctionnelles. Tips: Si vous partez de Tampa, sachez que le minivan est parti à 11h au lieu de 11h30, sans doute car tout le monde était là mais effectivement soyez à l’arrêt au moins 30 minutes avant. Ayez ce qu’il vous faut pour les repas pour etre plus tranquille.
