Traventuria Sofia Bansko recent customer reviews
Drivers are eager to be on schedule but they should also speak not only drive! What I mean is that on my way back to the airport the driver made a stop at Terminal 1 before Terminal 2 which is normal but he didn't make an announcement first! As a result because I hadn't paid attention and I didn't know the place, I thought we had reached our final destination so I got off the bus earlier! Then I had to take a taxi and pay extra 30€ to go to Terminal 2 which was my final destination!

Easy pickup from the bus station as clear instructions were given. Pleasant journey to Bansko with a few stop offs. The only criticism I have was there was very little communication from the driver about the stops and as this was the first time doing this trip a bit more communication would have been helpful.

It would be helpful if the bus company had an English notice saying there is a 30 minute stop in Blagoevgrad each way
