Tirana to Ohrid Destination Reviews
A
Anonymous Driver didn't have the directions - I had to navigate him for 2 hours in the front seat. The first hour of the ride was comfortable enough - the chairs were nice and there was lots of space considering how little we paid. It was clean, and had MUCH more space than the Euro star bus we took from Tirana to Ohrid 3 days earlier. When we requested to stop by a bathroom just if we passed by a gas station after we crossed the border, no rush, and the driver decided to completely turn around in the middle of the border line, proceeding to turn back and drive 30 minutes back the way we came to get us to a specific gas station. Although we appreciated that he wanted to give us a bathroom break, instead of going back to the same border crossing, he changed the route up to go a different way. This wasn't a huge issue, except he didn't have internet to navigate him, and got lost in the Albanian mountains very quickly. I had to hop in the front seat and navigate for the last 2 hours of the ride. If I didn't have any cell service, I have no idea what we would have done. What should have been a chill 3 hour ride (even on the different route that he took) took over 5 because of how slow he was driving (always half the speed limit), and one of the passengers almost missed her flight because of this. Kind of a nightmare.

Anonymous It a small van, so it was nice and cost. We also made a stop a long the way, só it was good to strech out legs. The most disapointing part was the fact that we bought the ticket expecting to arrive in “Classic Company Bolevard” Which was close to the center and around 12 minutes of walking to our acomodation. However, when we arrived the bus stoped in the central bus station which was a 30 minute walk and we ended up having to pay for a taxi, that we weren’t accounting for, since there were no public transportations to the center. We later on found out that the bus central station was the Only place that the bus could stop and the tickets we bought could never have left us where we were counting on. We Also had to reconfirm that the bus that left Ohrid would depart from where we had on our tickets. Having that in mind, I believe the tickets to Ohrid should be corrected since we are paying to go to a stop that does not exist and doing a big travel and then having to deal with this was not a great experience. I hope you take this into consideration and try to solve it for others.

Anonymous It was one of the better bus rides I’ve taken in the Balkans as the driver was kind and friendly. Overall pleasant experience. We were an hour and a half late but traffic and delays at border crossing. If the bus was full it would have been more uncomfortable as there was not much room by your legs.

Anonymous All good on the Eurobus to Ohrid. Buying the ticket was easy and the E version was happily accepted by the bus driver. The bus leaves Tirana from the brand new and very clean East Bus Terminal of Tirana, which was an easy 10euro taxi ride from the centre. We departed on time and we arrived on time, and by the way this is a spectacular journey with some stunning scenery! There is some major road building going on and we passed through some Industrial zones as well. Really enjoyed the trip.
