The overall experience was great and executed well on time. We were picked up in van and later shifted to bus with a big group. The bus could have been more comfortable.

A full van should never be an option for passengers with large amounts of luggage. The vehicle wasn’t big enough to accommodate everything, so the driver stacked the bags in the narrow aisle. It became one of the most claustrophobic trips I’ve ever experienced. On top of that, the driver stopped around four times along the way to make deliveries.
