Shuttle Samara – Santa Teresa

Booked last minute, the night before and at 8am the next morning we already got picked up from our hotel in samara. The shuttel took us right to our next hotel in Santa Teresa. During the ride we had to switch bussess twice, but they took care for our luggage and those quick stop overs were very welcome to use the bathroom and walk around for a minute. Driversa were friendly and helpful. Everything fine!
