Great service! The shuttle arrived early as I was the first stop in San Salvador (but was waiting patiently) which meant we were also early to change buses in Santa Ana so had time to stretch the legs and buy some snacks. Both buses were comfortable and had air con. Such a smooth journey. Only slightly delayed getting into Copan ruinas (30 mins) due to the queues at border control but that couldn’t have been helped. Highly recommend and will definitely be using them again as a solo female traveller.

出発時間より早くピックアップ、国境での手続きもスムーズで安心して移動できました。ただ車内が満席で、夫と2人で荷物が山のように積まれた最後列の狭い席に座らされ、身動きできず6時間の移動に耐えなければならなかったのが辛かったです。

Our ride from San Salvador to Copán Ruinas was a smooth one. We were picked up earlier than anticipated. Easy border crossings. Hand over to second driver at Honduras border was timely. Would recommend. It's a long day so pack plenty of water and food.
