“I did a reservation with my wife, my mom, and my 7 months old son, and we are very happy we did it. Although I wanted so bad to go in the bus, not the van, it was comfortable, and on time. The only piece of advice I could give to the driver is that he shouldn’t be talking on the phone while driving, but it only happened a few times and for a short period of time, so not a big deal.”
