Annette K.
The bus was clean, the driver was experient enough to have our ride smooth. It would be nice to have more modern and convenient bus for interctravels (6-7 hous on the road, especially at night time).

Iryn V.
The driver dropped us at the wrong location and refused to dirge us to the airport , we had to find a taxi and pay extra cost for the service . Very unprofessional
Luca C.
It was very hot on the bus, but the worst part was that the driver was very impolite. He refused to help with my question about the nearest stop to my hotel. As a result, I got off at the wrong station.
Viktoriia N.
Hello, from the beggining of the trip it was very hot on the bus. After 4 hours I have sent an email to Ivkoni about the situation and they replied that bus driver will turn on Air condition🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️Also the driver was driving between 80-85 km/h while the speed limit is 100 km/h which lead to a half an hour delay. This was my 5th trip with this company and all other were ok.
