very bad experience with them.

here’s what happened:

our wedding will be held in one of the resorts in san juan batangas. we were looking for a tourist bus which will serve as a

transportation for the majority of our guests. we saw the Galatian’s ad in the internet (not sure if it’s sulit.com.ph) and

dialed the cel# and landline posted in the ad. i think it was 3 weeks before our wedding. someone named raymond answered and

we discussed the terms. thinking that we were already in a hurry and we’ve tried several tourist bus operators but we cant

find an available bus on our wedding date; i agreed to pay 11k as a down payment(it was also my fault that i did not ask for

a contract). raymond was very accomodating and we even had sms exchanges several days before the wedding. I even went to

their location in bicas, caloocan just to see their bus (satisfactory rating) and to make sure that we have a bus which will

transport our guests from manila to batangas.

one day before the wedding, we were already in san juan. batangas. at around 530am, my sister was calling me to tell that the

bus hasn’t arrived yet. the agreed time was 5am. i and my fiancee were calling raymond in his cellphone and landline, but no

one answered us. alas, at around 545am. there came a bus(as my sister narrated), old, not the tourist bus that we agreed(it

was a passenger bus not named Galatian) and the aircon is worn out and not working properly. so it was very hot inside the

bus (imagine traveling from manila to san juan, batangas in that condition). worse, the drive didn’t even know that we

already made a downpayment with raymond and on monday (the day after the wedding) the driver said that the bus was in coding

that’s why we cannot arrive in manila before 5pm. and to think that our checkout time in laiya is 11am. it was a very

irritating experience for me and my wife and to our families and friends inside.

if you don’t want to experience that, dont even think of dealing with Galatian bus lines ( raymond/shirley)
