    Very nice trip, excellent customer service. The only flaw that it doesn't stop in front of points of interest

    Unfortunately, personal financial problems are passed on to the passengers. With all the details of the child's illnesses and financial difficulties. Not desirable behavior at a tourist attraction. But we still wish them all the best and good health. Apart from that and the traffic jam, the tour was good.

    The lights were on most of the time on the top level and we could not see out of the bus.
