1.00The speaker was good but the driver the guy was horrible,it was freezing on the bus he had no attempt to make us feel welcome or warmer,there was a older lady in her 80 was on there not feeling good because it was too cold and kept saying that he could not do anything about it but her myself and a few others felt the same so no this tour bus was horrible never again.
