Bansko/Sofia shuttle return in February 2026
Excellent communication both after booking and by the company and drivers before pick up.
Prompt and polite. We had 4 + bags and both journeys were given a small minibus which was great for spreading out and sleeping.
The journey in the evening 7pm to Bansko took 2h10m and the return journey at 7am to Sofia Airport took 2h20m
Just a little bit pricey imho

Quick and easy shuttle from Sofia airport to Bansko and back
Quick and easy shuttle from Sofia airport to Bansko and back to Sofia, I specially enjoyed the possibilily for a drop off at the hotel in Bansko.
Information about the shuttle bus was sent via email and WhatsApp which made following and finding the bus easy. Driver was helpful and all in all it was a pleasant experience and a good value for your money.
I highly recommed Bansko Shuttle Service and Traventuria for anyone needing a transport from Sofia to Bansko :)
Operator response
Thank you for your kind feedback! We hope to see you soon again in Bansko :)

Reliable and great service
We have used this transfer twice now, each time has been amazing. The driver is always there on time regardless if it is 10am or 10pm. The company is also very quick and responding to messages too. It is on the pricier side, but for peace of mind it’s absolutely worth it! Would always use this service when returning to Bansko as it makes our trip so much more enjoyable.

Sofia to Bansko
Everything went as promised. We were picked up at the airport and driven to Bansko. Very pleasant experience with the driver making provision for a coffee/comfort break on the way.
The journey back was just as good with the driver telling us a bit about Bulgaria which was very interesting and dropping us off in plenty time for our flight
Would book again. Very reliable and fairly priced.

Sofia to discover
Sofia I state that it was not in my plans but we had found a cheap ticket and we said why not. I state that I knew almost nothing about Bulgaria and I wanted to discover it so we took this ticket to Sofia and we left I must say that the first thing that surprised me was that it was much less cold that here it is a different cold so we were dressed like Totò and Peppino in Milan Just to understand the heavy things we had brought. We arrived it was dark so hotel restaurant nearby and the first series went like this. The next day we ventured into the city and fell in love there are beautiful churches the city is very clean tidy although I have to say that what was a small handicap and was not being able to do the excursions because they only do them in English or German, in fact Italian Nobody speaks it and I must also say that they are not very used to tourists so they seem a bit closed. Not being able to opt for excursions in which we would not understand much of what they were saying we decided to do DIY tourists and we did quite well and I must also say that the buses are very punctual are cheap so we opted for day tickets I think we paid a total of five or ten euros now I do not remember the exact amount and in this way we took various buses and trams and went around the city including suburban stations and this really helped us to see it wide in the round. It should also be said that with €10 we took the taxi from the airport to the hotel and vice versa their currency for us at the moment is still convenient. The kitchen unfortunately I must say that we did not like it very much but obviously we tasted everything and more and it was still an experience, the nice thing was that the supermarkets cooked all the typical dishes and so we took the opportunity at least to taste them. The hotel we chose was spotless they were very hot were mini apartments what I found strange for us and that they do not use the shutters but there are blackout curtains. The funny thing was that we saw some stoves in an outdoor market and at that time it seemed strange but I can assure you that you get close and give a crazy warmth so we really enjoyed it. We did for work needs 4 days but it is a city that deserves and remained in my heart I can assure you that I was very skeptical when I left it is a city that deserves to be visited very quiet city there are policemen that you see often even this counts because I had read reviews that said it was not exactly a quiet city I can assure you that we made isolated streets in the evening but everything perfect. What about this city surprised me and remained in my heart
