The whole bus ride was pleasant and comfortable. The bus was clean and orderly

Smooth bus ride and on time arrival in Lisbon. The driver was very professional with his driving...There was a family sitting in front of us, with a toddler talking the whole trip... he was very noisy and we couldn't take a long nap during the 7 hours bus ride.
