Budva to Skopje Destination Reviews

Anonymous About driver assistant. Passengers respect. What the driver's assistant mistook for confidence was arrogance. I wanted to sleep because we were on a long trip (11 hours). But while I was asleep, he woke me up to ask me to change my seat position. However, it wasn't a position that would bother the person sitting behind me. He did it out of his own arrogance, not because the person behind me requested it. In fact, the person sitting behind me didn't even mention it. And this driver who turns up the music volume to his liking during the journey. They need to learn to be considerate.

Anonymous The worst ride ever. One of the drivers - Denis really tried to be helpfull. People around us were eating loudly the whole time, stuff which smelled really bad, littering the bus. Shouting the whole time - given the fact that it was supposed to be a 7-8 hour rüde, but turned out to be 12 hours, because we had to swamp busses in Kosovo. The bus change took more than 2 hours and the only person who actually tried to help was the youngest driver Denis. Very, very, very bad organisation, total dissapointment.

Anonymous Hour and a half stop in Kosovo. Shortly after crossing the border to Kosovo we stopped and were asked to wait for longer than an hour for a swap of drivers. The drivers that drove us there simply got out of the bus and told us that we had to wait for the driver that will come with the Ganic bus from Skopje to Budva and that he is taking us back to Skopje. They were getting on that bus that he will drive from Skopje and drive it to Budva. Because of this chip trick, obviously Ganic was looking to pay one driver less, we waited an hour and a half in Kosovo aftet midnight and arrived in Skopje much later than the expected arrival time. Also, even after the driver that was supposed to drive us to Skopje arrived, he kept us waiting and went on to have a meal with the other drivers, completely careless about the passengers waiting in the bus. Horrible experience, and I definitely don’t recommend traveling with Ganic, unless you have a couple extra hours to waste!
