Fast, budget coach transfer from Milan to Bergamo Airport, with paper tickets, frequent departures, friendly service, and practical timing tips.

“coach was packed not a spare seat and very hot, got us to the airport in plenty of time, be aware to give yourself plenty of time as the bus seemed to wait until all seats were taken to leave for airport, this could take a while, anyone left behind could find themselves with a good 30 to 45 minute wait as we sat on the bus for well over half an hr, saying that cheap enough and value for money.”

Our drivers were very kind and very helpful, but they were not “tour guides”. They would drop us off and give us a time to meet back up, which was totally perfect for us and allowed us to prioritize what we wanted!”
