ReviewsReviews for the bus trip from Tallinn to Riga

The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Pros

Comparatively favourable

Plenty of space

Functioning wifi

Cons

Route with a lot of congestion

Obsolete bus

Socket did not work

The journey was not ideal. The plus point is the price, but there are a few things to criticise. Perhaps it was simply because it was an old bus, but the power socket didn't work, which was quite unfavourable for the length of the journey. There was also the traffic jam. The interior of the bus could definitely be improved here. However, the wifi worked well.

Pros

Very comfortable seats

Nice service

Cons

Very short delay, if any

The coach journey from Tallinn to Riga was pleasant. The comfort was first class, with comfortable seats and plenty of legroom. The service and cleanliness were excellent. The journey time was short and the value for money was well worth it. Although there was a traffic jam during the journey, our coach driver was able to quickly find an alternative route. All in all, a trip worth recommending.
