CoupleVerified bookingAug 20265/5The waterfall was truly breathtaking, and the driver was friendly and punctual. The only downside was that the only restaurant near the nature center refused to serve us a meal because they only offered takeout.PPetra B
CoupleVerified bookingSep 20263/5The bus was only available until 2:00 p.m.—that wasn’t mentioned in the documents! We wouldn’t have booked it that way!!! On top of that, the lady at the ticket counter wouldn’t accept the ticket and sent us to another provider. They wouldn’t accept the tickets either. We went back, but by then the bus was gone, and we had to wait 30 minutes for the next one.PPaul B
