Union Ivkoni Plovdiv Stara Zagora recent customer reviews

Everything was great however I nearly missed my bus as on the ticket it was stated that it leaves from the train station and I had to rush and look for it as no one knew at the train station where this bus leaves from. Hence my low rating, other than that the trip was very good as always.
