Traveller feedback on the driver, vehicle and taxi journey for this package.
Booked it for a short family break and the schedule worked well for us. The vehicle was comfortable enough for the longer stretches. The route had some rough patches, but the drive still felt safe. The best part for me was the main sightseeing. Nothing fancy, but everything important worked when it needed to.
Booked it for a short family break and the schedule worked well for us. There were a few long stretches on the road, but the overall pacing was good. Our parents were happiest during the evening stop. No major complaint from our side. Better updates about rest stops would make the experience smoother.
