The bus ride from Hamburg to Dresden went flawlessly. The bus driver was very helpful and made a point of leaving on time. We arrived in Dresden a little late after a quiet journey. The seats are comfortable and offer enough legroom. The air in the bus is fresh and well tempered. The free wifi and power sockets worked. I also found the passengers very friendly and some nice conversations ensued. Everything was clean and it felt like it had been freshly cleaned. There were no problems and the journey was great. Great price and good service. Always happy to do it again.
