Union Ivkoni Sofia Nice recent customer reviews

Hi. The bus had a technical problem near the border between Slovenia and Italy. It had already a 6 hours late due to the traffic borders. Than we had to wait for 7!hours for someone to come and repair it. I was supposed to be at Nice airport Terminal 2 at 11 am. My flight is at 8.20 pm. We are still in Italy and I really don’t know whether my PCR will be available for next possible flight to Bastia. I need to have air ticket reimbursed and eventually the new PCR, if I would have to do one. Plus it is my holiday and I am loosing time of it.
