Skenderbeu shpk Thessaloniki Tirana recent customer reviews
I enjoyed the fact it got us to our destination, everything else was disappointing and absurd, the bus driver was yelling, turning on the lights constantly when i would finally be able to sleep, the journey itself was so uncomfortable I thought I’d fall off my chair half the time from the speed of going around all of the curves. The bus kept stopping at random points, not to pick people up but seemed to be unloading boxes? It was pure chaos which was not needed on a clear road at the late hours we travelled.

everything was fine and I was checked in by the counters attendant
