Shkoder to Budva Destination Reviews

Got us to the right place. The bus driver was rude to passengers. We were unaware of the €2 luggage fee (this should be communicated better when buying a ticket) and he was quite intimidating when explaining this - throwing our bags off the vehicle and saying we would need to catch the next bus if we didn’t pay (which was at 6am the following morning.) This made me uncomfortable as a female traveller. The bus stop in Shkoder was hard to find and the bus was running late. The bus itself was old and needed a clean and maintenance.

Expected a direct bus ride as that is what we booked. The mini bus was full of friendly people. We weren’t told why we were taking this mini bus only that we would go and meet our big bus… never told where or why. paid our €2 luggage fee then basically waited to see where we ended up… We got to Podgorica and still no one told us what was happening just to go to information. Luckily the lady there was helpful and she printed out another ticket to Budva . but then we had to pay luggage fee again… this trip was booked as a direct bus… it was far from that. Very disappointing service from Old Town Travel Company.

Great trip. The bus was clean and comfortable. I was a bit worried after reading other reviews but there was nothing to worry about. The bus conductor was helpful and informative. The driver was clean and careful (no smoking like on other reviews). The bus was delayed about 1 hour (but I guess that can be expected).

Unpleasant journey. The bus was extremely hot and smelt strongly like cigarettes, there were no windows.

Old bus. Bus was on time. The brake made awful noises all the time, the AC was dirty as well as the bus.

Tickets don’t include luggage. The driver was SO unpleasant. We didn’t realise that luggage wasn’t included in the price of our ticket and we were leaving Albania so we had just given our last cash away. It was €2 per bag on top of our pre booked ticket, and the driver simply said ‘That sounds like a you problem, find police if you want to complain. Off you go.’ And then claimed he didn’t understand anything else we said. Thankfully another passenger lent us the cash, at which point the driver wouldn’t give her the change and started pretending that she needed to pay for her bag too, even though she had already paid for hers and it was already on the bus. Just a fundamentally unpleasant man. He would also smoke on the bus even though there were signs everywhere stating no smoking.

Okay journey. The employee at the stop in Shköder was really good at keeping in touch with the driver and letting us know what was happening. The bus driver moved everyone on pretty quickly at border crossings and at scheduled stops. The bus was over an hour late arriving from Tirana. We know the traffic is bad, so needs an earlier we start time. We’d heard that Old Town buses sometimes don’t turn up, so we were grateful that it came at all. It was really hot inside the bus and no WiFi.
