Good day trip, the STAFF were friendly and attentive. Food options were okay but could be better. Wish the trip was a little longer, felt quite rushed towards the end. Worth doing if you want a break and some sunshine.

The price seemed a bit high for what was offered. The program was okay but felt a little rushed in parts. Overall, an average day with some nice stops but nothing special. Worth considering if you have no other plans.

Good trip but lacking in proper organization. The schedule was tight and not enough time to relax. Staff was friendly but the meal options were limited. Would suggest better timing and maybe more amenities to improve the overall service.
