The car was very clean , driver very polite. The direction to find the bus was very confusing, not so easy to get to the bus rather than that good service overall.

What Is A Shared Transfer Service?

With shared transfers, you'll be traveling in a bus with other guests who have similar arrival timings. All guests will be dropped off at the City Center. It is a lot cheaper than a private transfer, but be warned, it involves a (slightly) higher waiting time- anywhere between 5-45 minutes.
