Arda Tur Dresden Vienna recent customer reviews

The ticket was the cheapest in the market (14 Euro for Dresden-Vienna). Drivers were helpful. The bus was comfortable. I would definitely recommend Arda Tur. However, the bus was late for 45 minutes which made us nervous. Besides, the parking place was mentioned incorrectly on the ticket.
