Shocking, the feeder bus was in appalling condition, most of the seats were broken. Despite being 30 degrees outside the heating was on and the air conditioning didn’t work. After an hour we changed buses but after an hour this broke down so we had to pull over in the mountains. We waited an hour for the replacement bus which turned out to be the first bus which still overheated and was overloaded with luggage blocking the aisle. We were two hours late with only very short stops en route.

There was fake advertisement that road will took 3 hours. It took 7+, route was through small towns to gather people and narrow serpantine roads. We had a lot of stops. Trip was 2 staged, on microbuses. There were not enough seats for all people on the first one. Second one had no ventilation and had strong constant petrol odor in cabin. I felt dizzy and sick after this trip. Will never use this company again.
