“Just the beginning of the trip sets the tone. Not a luxury bus, crammed on a grayline bus. Cant even move my arms, no view out the windows, we had to chase down the bus. Havent even gotten to the main tour yet but if its anything based on the beginning I am sure it won't be positive. Definitely not close to worth the money. Really honestly worst tour ive been on. It seems they over booked the tour. Picking up more people and not enough bus seats per people. Way over booked.”
