Instead of getting a „Universe Noble 37“ bus, they switched to a less comfortable smaller bus. Would I‘ve known that before, we could have booked a comparable transport for far less money.

They changed us to another bus what departure half hour later, so we have to wait more than one hour (you have to go early) and nobody sent an email and nothing to inform this. They said our original bus was full and they sell out our seats. (We had our check in and the confirmation already) They changed our seats in the new bus too, but after speak with the girl she give us the original seat in the new bus. Finally the bus arrived in time to the city
