Wanda Coach

Pros: It was on time, the drivers did an excellent job, the breaks were given at the right time. It also reached its destination before the time, which was good. I would recommend this form of transportation to anyone who needs it and I definitely will travel with them again. Cons: Maybe the comfort of the seats. Tips: Make yourself comfortable throughout the entire trip and take something to cover up when you feel sleepy.
