DRD Turizem Venice Ljubljana recent customer reviews

Instructions for finding the bus were not clear and we missed it. We went early and asked tourist info where the bus came in to the plaza. It turns out it was an unmarked van and not a bus at all. We reached out to customer service via email and the did respond quickly and were able to get us a ride in a later bus (van) that day. A bit frustrating and we felt it could have been resolved if the instructions said it would be a van and where exactly it came into the plaza since it was not the same spot as the map provided.

The bus was clean and comfortable and the driver was excellent. The only concern was the lack of exact pick up location which was very stressful.
