Dieses Unternehmen ist eine Vollkatastrophe. Mein Sohn und seine Freundin wollten am 28.12 um 5.20 Uhr von Essen nach Paris fahren. Der Bus war überbucht. Der Busfahrer hat 15 Leute stehen lassen und sie vertröstet, dass noch ein Bus kommen würde. Zwei Stunden später war immer noch kein neuer Bus da. Der angebliche 24 Stunden Service ist sonntags nicht besetzt und erst montags ab 9.00 Uhr erreichbar. Mein Mann hat die beiden dann wieder abgeholt und nach Köln gebracht, so dass sie mit dem Zug fahren konnten. Mal sehen, ob wir den Betrag zurück bekommen. Das ist alles unglaublich! Dort würde ich nie wieder buchen! Wir werden die Verbraucherzentrale und einen Anwalt einschalten.
