Istanbul Central Bus Station to Sofia Serdica Bus Station Destination Reviews

MP
2 hours late arrival. No excuse. Road conditions were fine, customs and passport control no busier than expected. So, advertised journey time was a blatant lie to sell tickets. Not good enough. Never again.

Efficient journey. Driver needs to publicise WIFI password and keep passengers updated in English in regards to timings off toilet breaks. Comfortable seats but not tall enough for tall people. Hurt my neck sleeping. Overall quite satisfied. However the timing is bad. Would prefer to set off later and not arrive at such an awkward hour when nothing is open.

The staff at the Ticket Counter attended to my questions well. I asked for place to keep my luggage, place to sleep. Lobby upstairs was provided, water to drink, massage chair, WCs. Bus was on time. Two bus drivers provided, 2 seats by rows. Beverage to choose from, small water and biscuit provided. Every 3 hours was Toilet breaks and overnight bus was better. Less queue at both sides of Immigrations. We arrived at 4.30am due to less traffic and low season mid May 2022, just after pandemic.

Incredible journey. Although it took took long at the border (the trip was extended by 2 hours), the staff was very kind, very helpful and cheery the entire time. Will definitely be using Lux Perla again!
