Departure from Burgas also was 1hr late. Border queues took 1.5hrs. After the border check up, the bus stopped by a local restaurant for 1/2hr where the driver decided to wash the whole bus, although we were pleading we are close to missing our flights. Lastly we had terrible traffic after Chirlu due to road repairs. Surely Arda tur was aware of these traffic jams, yet we were not even allowed usage of wifi on the bus. We arrived at Istanbul Airport at 23.15pm instead of 21.30pm. Very rude driver. Slamming breaks all the time and almost made an accident at the border control. Not speaking any language, but Turkish only. We do not reccomend under any circumstances this bus line. We had to buy two new flight tickets for each of us, as well as book an expensive accomodation at the Instanbul airport. I would however reccomend the bus management to implement check on the passengers final destinations upfront in order to prevent the poor customer service from happening.

Dear Arda Tours Customer Service, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the extremely poor experience we had during our recent journey with your company. The bus we booked was 2.5 hour ... Dear Arda Tours Customer Service, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the extremely poor experience we had during our recent journey with your company. The bus we booked was 2.5 hours late, which immediately disrupted our travel plans. Once we were finally on board, the situation became even worse. Throughout the 5.5-hour ride, passengers were openly drinking beer and whiskey, loudly laughing, and even snoring due to intoxication. This created an unpleasant and unsafe environment for all travelers. What made the situation particularly distressing was that my child was frightened during the journey due to the behavior of the drunk passengers. This is completely unacceptable for a professional tour operator. As a result of these delays and disturbances, we arrived at our final destination nearly 4 hours later than scheduled, effectively losing half a day of our holiday at the hotel we had paid for. I expect a serious response from your company regarding this incident, as well as appropriate compensation for the time lost and the unacceptable conditions we were subjected to. I trust you will treat this matter with the urgency it deserves.

Ocena dotyczy konkretnego kierowcy który prowadził autobus tego kursu. Kierowca jechał bardzo niebezpiecznie a jego styl jazdy na krętej drodze w górach polegał na ciągłym rozpędzaniu się i hamowaniu - i tak jakieś dwie godziny. Zupełnie zapomniał że pasażerowie to nie worki z ziemniakami a z luku bagażowego cały czas było słychać hałas przewalających się przez to szarpanie pojazdem walizek. Nie dość że pierwszy raz w życiu tak się bałam( moi towarzysze podróży również) to jeszcze od tego szarpania zrobiło mi się niedobrze i słabo i mało brakowało żebym wymiotowała. Na moją prośbę o bardziej spokojną jazdę i informację o naszym i moim samopoczuciu kierowca zaczął tłumaczyć że jest zawodowym i bardzo dobrym kierowcą - zapomniał tylko że to nie formuła 1 i wiezie ludzi za których życie i komfort jazdy jest odpowiedzialny. Podczas trasy powrotnej nasz autobus prowadził inny kierowca który jechał szybko i sprawnie ale z odpowiednim dostosowaniem prędkości i stylu do drogi.
