According to customer reviews, there have been complaints about the lack of assistance upon arrival in Sofia and long breaks taken by the drivers. Some customers also mentioned missing their flights and suggested that it would have been appropriate for the bus to drop off those who needed it at the airport. Additionally, there were concerns raised about incorrect departure information on tickets, specifically regarding a closed station in Edirne where passengers had no place to wait for buses despite freezing temperatures outside.

I enjoyed the trip. Staff was very helpful! The only thing is the lack of information at Edirne bus station but I figured it out.

Aucune aide à l'arrivée à Sofia. Les chauffeurs font des poses longues Avion manqué. Il aurait été correct de déposer les gens qui en avaient besoin a l'aéroport.

On the ticket, the departure station is Edirne central bus station. The time of departure is at 1,30 o clock. But, the Edirne central bus station is closed at 22 o clock. Where are the people supposed to wait for the bus? It was freezing out side.

I am very dissatisfied with the service. It took 10 hours for a distance of 290 km between Edirne and Sofia which should take no more than 5 hours including border crossing. First the was 2 hours late starting from Edirne. Nobody gave us any information when it is coming. Then we spent 40 minutes at a supermarket close to the border on the Bulgarian side for no reason at all. The driver was alone so he had to waste time checking tickets, etc. I will not travel with this company on this route again.

Bus was supposed to leave Edirne at 10.30 am. It didn't even arrive at Erdine till 11.20 and I was worried it wouldn't come at all. Arrived 2 hours late in Sofia
