Tivat to Dubrovnik Destination Reviews

Bus pick up 1 hr late and our 2.5 hr ride took 6 hrs. The only good thing was the driver dropped off 4 passengers at the airport so they wouldn’t miss their 5pm departure flight. Nothing to like. Had to change buses in Kotor and no one to tell the passengers what bus to get on. Driver took the longer route through Perast without the need to stop adding add’l hour to the ride. Supposed to leave Dubrovnik at 10 arrive 12:30. Instead left at 11:00 and arrived in Dubrovnik 4pm. We lost out on our 1 day visit and tour of old town Dubrovnik. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS BUS SERVICE. This was the second time in a week the bus was more than 2 hours late to arrival destination. Also the bus terminal has no one available to tell you which bus was ours. Total chaos with all the passengers not speaking Croatian and the bus driver only spoke Croatian.

Cash on hand and print the ticket. Tivat - Dubrovnik: Overall a smooth ride with an amazing view of the bay of Kotor and Dubrovnik, one of the best scenarios to travel by bus, left side window is highly recommended. The personnel at the station was very rude and didn't like to give clear instructions, specially when asked about the pick up point and the delay we experienced, there was a lack of signaling. €1 per person for station fees. The bus personnel was exceedingly rude and long story short, we felt ripped off when asked to pay €2 per person for "ticket printing" fees. They didn't provide any receipt nor physical evidence of the print out. There was a passenger that tried to deny the execution of such a shady procedure and the bus driver clearly stated: "that's not my problem" instead of searching for avenues of understanding. During and after the border crossing into the EU their attitude changed for a more calm approach.

The driver made a HUGE scene when I gave him my phone with my e-ticket on it. Saying “problem problem” when actually there was no problem because on my ticket it said that I could have the e-ticket???? Also there says that there’s a toilet on the bus but then there wasn’t.

The condition of the bus and a driver. An extra fee for luggage is 2 euros per person, and a stop at a non-default location costs 5 euros per person.

Disgusting service. The bus was 2.5 hours late. The journey took twice as long as stated. The air conditioning did not work. There were no curtains on the windows, it was simply unbearable in the heat.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
