Union Ivkoni Málaga Portimão recent customer reviews

This Bulgarian bus service is primarily for Bulgarian women working on Spanish farms. After it arrived two and a half hour late into Malaga, it took 7 hours to get to Portimao, 350km away. Should have taken 3.5 hrs! Driver didn’t care about non-Bulgarian passengers, did not stop for toilets (even though on board toilet padlocked) even once, and had missing seatbelts on some rear seats. No WiFi or charging sockets. NIGHTMARE JOURNEY - AVOID
