Union Ivkoni Sofia Petrich recent customer reviews
The bus was not bad, but when you buying tickets online you can’t see the sits which you are buying and if you are couple this doesn’t guarantee that you can sit together! After I paid , saw the sit’s numbers, which was 34 and 35 and are on different sides. When I asked the driver why is like that he was extremely rude and was shouting on me !!! Not sure can use it again this company!
