Booking and buying the ticket online was very easy. The journey time was great. The seats are comfortable and it was quiet. Only the wifi didn't work well and was limited. Unfortunately, there was a strong smell of sausage and alcohol from other passengers. The toilet could have been cleaner. All in all, a very pleasant and punctual journey. Very good value for money.

I recently took the bus journey from Iha to Tallinn with "Lux Express" (bus number: 5764) and was thrilled! The journey took about 3 hours and was pleasant from start to finish. The bus was punctual and modern, with very comfortable seats and plenty of legroom. The air conditioning was perfectly adjusted so that the temperature was pleasant. I particularly liked the free wifi, which was stable throughout the journey. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was even a small selection of snacks and drinks to buy. The scenery along the way was beautiful and made the journey even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I highly recommend the journey from Riga to Tallinn!
