Union Ivkoni Paris Sofia recent customer reviews

I'm just very displeased. It was an awful trip. My assigned seat next to a window was taken by some guy who didn't care that it wasn't his and I like to sit next to a window and look out, because I get sick if I don't. I was put in the back of the bus on last row between two guys that stinked very badly. Most of the time it was a little bit hot, but the ac was working so it except wasn't too bad, but the second mornin around 7am was incredibly cold I used to jackets to cover myself even though I covered the ac vents. It was unbearable. The drivera were nice and polite, no complaints there.
