What travelers are saying
June 24th trip --- checked off bucket list item. Careful and thoughtful driver, took us to Walmart to gather snacks since so few convenience stores enroute. As a history buff, learned a little, but driver was somewhat new to the route. Clean and cool vehicle --- prepare yourself for the mosquitos, if warm weather. No wifi service for most of the ride. Bumpy roads. Good, but underwhelming experience...especially given the 75+ degrees.
Client reports the van was dirty. Seats were beaten down and very hard. The experience was as described, but the conveyance and driver left a bit to be desired.
Our tour was great!
