I enjoyed the trip. Staff was very helpful! The only thing is the lack of information at Edirne bus station but I figured it out.

Aucune aide à l'arrivée à Sofia. Les chauffeurs font des poses longues Avion manqué. Il aurait été correct de déposer les gens qui en avaient besoin a l'aéroport.

On the ticket, the departure station is Edirne central bus station. The time of departure is at 1,30 o clock. But, the Edirne central bus station is closed at 22 o clock. Where are the people supposed to wait for the bus? It was freezing out side.

VIP Arda Tur Edirne Sofia recent customer reviews

I am very dissatisfied with the service. It took 10 hours for a distance of 290 km between Edirne and Sofia which should take no more than 5 hours including border crossing. First the was 2 hours late starting from Edirne. Nobody gave us any information when it is coming. Then we spent 40 minutes at a supermarket close to the border on the Bulgarian side for no reason at all. The driver was alone so he had to waste time checking tickets, etc. I will not travel with this company on this route again.

Bus was supposed to leave Edirne at 10.30 am. It didn't even arrive at Erdine till 11.20 and I was worried it wouldn't come at all. Arrived 2 hours late in Sofia
