1.00The seating is supposed to be first come first serve. Yes, the booking company/driver reserved 4 seats for a family that wanted to sit together and this party was not even picked up first. Even though we were picked up first, they didn't allow us to take the empty seats. We were forced to sit separately and two of us had to sit in the last row. Very very disappointed! Avoid at all costs. Go to a company that treats all customers equally. We all paid the same price and expect the same treatment.
Aidan is the man! Awesome...
