Madrid to Lisbon Destination Reviews

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.

The drivers were really good and the bus was clean and quite new. My seat could not be reclined and there was little space between seats.

Not as expected. Bus driver was polite, no complaints with the driver. Bus was over 2 hrs late, the company only sends an email with a tracker and very little information. They promise a refund for more than 2 hrs delay but i still haven't heard back from them after trying to contact them. I almost missed the bus (along with other passengers) because we had no idea where to wait in the bus station as the bus was so late! The bus station's information centers were closed. We were trying to call the company and we had no information. The bus itself was okay, not too clean and the USB ports are only on the window side. No WiFi despite it being included on the ticket.
