The staff were nice and helpful. The trip was comfortable and we arrived on time.

First 6 hours delayed, then 6 and a half but then the bus leaves at some time 6 hours 15 minutes after scheduled departure so that we missed. Nobody picked up at customer service and when finally someone picked up, he was not at all informed and finally hung up. I will arrive in Sofia with a delay of 2 days. This is unacceptable, really the worst bus experience and service I have ever experienced.
