Had a shared Mercedes mpv from Barcelona airport to Barcelona and a private car on the return. Both drivers were smart and very polite but Joel on the return journey was very chatty and nice to talk to. Communication from the company was excellent using email, phone also whattsapp. Kept us informed throughout the whole time. Would look to deal direct next time.

We travelled from Barcelona airport to Salou on 13/07/23 with this company via a Holidaytaxis booking. Excellent service and friendly driver during our transfer. Not only that, but I felt I should leave a review as my son left his bag with expensive items, cash and a bank card on the bus by accident. When I contacted the Giovanni bus company directly to try to retrieve the bag Kerry and Mariana’s customer service was exceptional in making this possible. I have to say huge appreciation to the driver who safely returned the bag to their depot in Tarragona- from where we were able to get it back in perfect condition one day later with the help of Kerry and Mariana. I would not hesitate to recommend this service to anyone in future. 😇 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Gormley family (N.Ireland)

Unreliable company that tries to blame the customer. Never turned up to pick us up to go back to airport for return flight. Asked us to get a taxi and we would be refunded. When contacted holiday company to be refunded for taxi fair Giovanni travel tried to say we were no shows. Turns out there wasn’t room for us in transfer which they are also denying. Awful awful company.

Unreliable. Our shuttle did not meet us when we arrived at Reus airport and they said we were not on the system. We had to get a taxi. They then tried to blame me. On the way back the same thing happened to another couple. They were confirmed to be picked up but were not and after waiting outside early in the morning they had to get a taxi. Luckily they did not miss their flight. This company is not helpful and does not seem to care. The shuttle was a car that was full. It may be that if they have too many they just leave people out and don't take responsibility.

The worst transfer experience…

This was my worse transfer experience ever. I booked a "shuttle" with Jayride.com, so we could get all the way to Camping Cala Llevado 100km north of Barcelona. It turns out that Giovanni Bus Travel operates the bus. 1. On the bus we were told that we could not be dropped off at Camping Cala Llevado. We had to drive 15 minutes longer to be dropped off in Tossa only to have to take a taxi back - even though I e-mailed the bus company the exact address and they confirmed it. This can be documented. 2. It is a regular sized bus, not the smaller shuttle they show you on the website. 3.The trip from Barcelona to Tossa de Mar took over 3 hours. You can take the moventis bus from Barcelona to Tossa de Mar. It and takes only 2 hours and 5 minutes. The Moventis bus ticket is only 30 Euro and the buses are new and much nicer. 4. The bus driver on the bus we were scheduled to take, told us that it would take at least 3 1/2 to 4 hours to drive to Camping Cala Llevado. So he made us go back and ask for our money back. Of course they would not return our money. 5. We had our suitcases and were out of the arrival building at 9.05 am. We arrived in Tossa de Mar at 13.30. This was the worst transfer I have ever experienced! I would never use Giovanni Bus Travel again - and I would never recommend anyone else to book with them either.

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
