Rafael FWe booked a bus ticket from Skopje to Ohrid, with an estimated travel time of 3 hours and 15 minutes.
Our experience was extremely disappointing from the very beginning. The bus station in Skopje was chaotic and very dirty. Fortunately, we decided to ask at the information desk whether everything was okay with our tickets. The staff member informed us that we still had to pay an additional station fee. Fortunately, the fee was not very expensive.
When it was time to board, the first driver was very unfriendly and extremely difficult to communicate with. He simply pointed to the other side, indicating that it was not the bus we were supposed to take. This was confusing because the platform number was correct, and both the destination and the bus company displayed on the vehicle matched our ticket.
After walking around to the other side, we discovered that our “bus” was actually a small van. The second driver was somewhat friendlier, but unfortunately, the problems continued.
The van was extremely cramped and uncomfortable. The driver chose a much longer route and made numerous stops to drop off passengers and pick up more people. The air conditioning barely worked, making the journey even more uncomfortable.
Most importantly, the journey was advertised as taking approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes, but it ended up taking 5 hours.
Overall, this was a catastrophic experience. The journey was uncomfortable, poorly organized, and much longer than advertised.

Hege The drive was not unpleasant, but the bus lacked toilets, and that’s not what the add said and the driver wasn’t nice, as a foreigner you didn’t feel welcome at all. Very negative energy but we arrived in one piece, and I’m after all thankful for that

Anonymous Pretty bad bus. My seat was broken, everyone in the bus was complaining about the air conditioning which did work but the driver after turning it on upon request just turned it off a minute or two later. Extremely uncomfortable trip to the point all the passengers were laughing about it.

Anonymous Felt like the journey from hell - never travel on Galeb. Nothing except it did actually get us there - very late! The bus was late, filthy with broken seats and the bus station should have given us seat numbers but didn’t so we ended up sitting separately in the last 2 seats. My husband was in a broken seat and the driver first told me to either get off the bus or sit on the floor until I insisted on taking the seat he had reserved for his own bag and coat. I had been sick earlier in the day and this journey was the worst bus journey we have ever taken. You must tell people booking online tickets that they need a seat number before boarding.
