Aucune aide à l'arrivée à Sofia. Les chauffeurs font des poses longues
Avion manqué. Il aurait été correct de déposer les gens qui en avaient besoin a l'aéroport.

VIP Arda Tur Edirne Sofia recent customer reviews
I am very dissatisfied with the service.
It took 10 hours for a distance of 290 km between Edirne and Sofia which should take no more than 5 hours including border crossing.
First the was 2 hours late starting from Edirne.
Nobody gave us any information when it is coming.
Then we spent 40 minutes at a supermarket close to the border on the Bulgarian side for no reason at all.
The driver was alone so he had to waste time checking tickets, etc.
I will not travel with this company on this route again.

Bus was supposed to leave Edirne at 10.30 am. It didn't even arrive at Erdine till 11.20 and I was worried it wouldn't come at all. Arrived 2 hours late in Sofia
