Union Ivkoni Düsseldorf Sofia recent customer reviews

Professional bus driver, delay because of traffic. Just communication to the bus staff (in English and German) was ... difficult. Problems in the bus where caused by other passengers ignoring pre given seat numbers (latest by fully booked bus a problem when people occupied seats for their luggage)... But as driver this man did a good and professional job!
