Ryan MEfficient and hassle-free! The bus arrived at the designated location on time. It was a little cold as the air-con was on full the whole time, but we knew this in advance and wore some long-sleeve tops. They do provide blankets which are very much needed! A complimentary McDonald’s chicken burger and bottle of water were given on departure and there were a few comfort stops along the way. Excellent value, recommended!
