“It was a terrible experience. The driver failed to follow the planned itinerary and deliberately skipped 3 out of the 9 listed stops. He also made us wait over 15 minutes at one of the stops and again for another 15 minutes in line to refuel — something he could have easily done during our 1.5-hour lunch break, which we had to take and didn’t even enjoy at all.”
