Shkoder to Tirana Destination Reviews

CR
Colin R
The worker at the hostel forced the driver to take more people than were originally meant to travel on the bus. People were crammed into it with their cases and baggage on their laps and the whole way down the aisle of the bus. The cramped journey made the experience more uncomfortable, however the driver made good time and was helpful with the luggage.

Ze waren op tijd, we kwamen ook een beetje vroeger aan dan gepland. Het was een veilige rit. Iemand op onze bus had een voedselvergiftiging en daarvoor is de chauffeur ook gestopt wanneer die het nodig had.

There were not enough seats for everyone, so two people had to sit on the floor. This is a serious safety concern. Additionally, the air conditioning was not functioning properly, making the ride very hot and uncomfortable.

Not what I paid for but an interesting experience. My first ride with candy from Tirana to Shkodër was amazing. Sprinter van that was very comfortable and pickup/drop off as promised. Because my original ride was comfortable and convenient, I booked with them again for by trip back to Tirana. The “bus” ended up being a small car where I was squished in the middle back seat, not the van I was expecting! Everyone was nice and it was an interesting and authentic experience but I wouldn’t have booked this and paid €15 for this very uncomfortable ride. We also weren’t dropped off or picked up where promised. I think there wasn’t enough people for the van so they did this instead, which is totally understandable, just very expensive and unexpected based on my previous experience.
