Anonymous Good trip but. Everything was fine in the end. I ordered two tickets to and from Plovdiv, but we weren't allocated seats next to each other, but across the aisle. Same happened to another couple so we swapped seats to be with our partners.

Anonymous Sofia-Plovdiv one day trip. W.e have planned to go with train but bus was faster and cheaper. It was pleasant ride and on time. When we came to Sofia station we were at loss which bus is going to Plovdiv and had to ask around, also there are 2 terminals so for tourists it can be confusing. Also in Plovdiv we were not able to buy tickets with cards both on the station and on the local bus, only local currency.

Anonymous Great driver but clearly very tired. Clean bus and easy booking. The driver was clearly tired on the long stretches and I watched him nod off as if falling asleep 3 times which made me extremely nervous. The rest of the journey was fine and I was prepared to leave an excellent review as otherwise he was a fantastic driver but this CANNOT happen- open the window, put on music, drink loads of coffee or something but you should be able to do 2.5 hours without an issue or don’t come to work. Next time I will probably take the train so I don’t have to worry.
