Everything was generally fine, very nice van and everything. But they told me one hour before my booked bus was leaving, that this one is cancelled, and i was placed on another one an hour later. It was ok for me, but I guess for others this can be quite an inconveniemce.

May be it is not easy to be in time. And the driver brought me directly to my hotel for compensation. Unfortunately it was too cold and the driver didn't understand my problem.

We had a stop at a Pearl Farm (about 1h) only 10 min away from our final Destination. The vehicle was good, the Crew was friendly but I paid for a transport and not a sales event.
