Union Ivkoni Veliko Tarnovo Ruse recent customer reviews
On time at departure. The station has computer screen but it was not on. It was no English sign at all, so the best I did when it was close to departure time I just asked the driver. The bus was old but clean. The driver was good at driving safe.
