Union Ivkoni Genoa Marseille recent customer reviews

The bus was 30 minutes late. The bus driver/assistant gave no instructions or explanation when the bus stopped about where the specific bus was going and gave me attitude when I asked if he spoke any English. The actual bus was extremely dirty with crumbs and musty, grimeyseats and was falling apart with the window rattling and fabric falling off.
