Budva to Tirana Destination Reviews

Great trip! I had an excellent bus journey from Budva to Tirana! The vehicle felt brand new—extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean throughout. The driver was fantastic: confident, professional, and most importantly, drove safely while still getting us to our destination ahead of schedule. Communication from the provider was clear and smooth from start to finish. Overall, a truly pleasant and stress-free experience. I highly recommend this service to anyone traveling the route!

A delayed trip. Good driver Decent bus The Budva bus station has a great cafe, delicious food , nice area , clean WC. Late departure ( roadworks) Border was slow Wifi didn't always work Annoying constant electrical noise on bus. Awful for driver too. Paying extra 3.20 for printing tickets.

Nice and easy ride from Budva to Tirana. Bus was almost empty. Driver was professional - he even waited for long time for a passenger who was held at Border for paperwork. Ride was slow but very safe and good. Driver made restroom stops in timely fashion. Bus was old so made noise particularly annoying as I was seated in the back area- my problem.

awful driver behaviour. driver was rude, screaming at everyone, rushing for no reason and finally forced me to put my backpack with my personal items, food and water and laptop into luggage compartment I guess so he could take 2 euro from me and I could be travelling for hours without the water that I bought. People like him should not work with other people.

The bus ride was comfortable. The AC was working throughout the whole trip. If you traveling through the Balkans, make sure you print your e-ticket and be prepared to pay 1-2 euros to put your luggage on hold

The driver stopped in the city center, 7 km from the final station and was not willing to continue to the final station, and I had to take a taxi.

Hoooot. We went from one point to another. The bus was sooo hot, the AC was broken and the ventilation blew warmish air. It was terrible.
