Metro Turizm Bursa Istanbul Europe recent customer reviews

Awful journey. Third time on coach in Turkey and this was the worst one. The coach left station late and we were supposed to reach Istanbul by 3/3.30pm but arrived at 4.30. The coach seats were really uncomfortable and rattlesnake the way making me extremely travel sick toothed point I nearly threw up. I could rest my head due to this. They did offer snacks and a drink which was good. There was also no air coming in and I was very hot throughout the journey. Wi-Fi was advertised when booking fall all the coaches and there never is any! So this is a lie. The screens also didn't work.
