don’t book with this company unless you want to be left in the middle of nowhere for over an hour with no ac and one of the rudest drivers i’ve ever dealt with.

Language barrier with Driver but it’s to be expected. Picked up on time and Got us to our destination. However he drove aggressively fast, dangerous at times passing multiple vehicles during our entire long ride. Worried he may endanger many more passengers in the future into a car accident. He would pass aggressively almost had so many close calls with oncoming traffic passing double yellow lines at an unsafe speed. We value safe driving to get to our final destination than being aggressively fast where we feared for our lives. Unsettling ride that’s for sure. We are just thankful we arrived alive after the ride.

Van was late and that wouldn't be the problem if they just let me know before I had to call them after 40 minutes of wait. Also, we get to stop by the White Temple and I wasn't aware of that, I thought it was direct transport. The confort was satisfactory and I got from point A to the point B. I would recommend the agency just I would suggest them to be a bit open and clear about things.
